Artificial Intelligence Predicts Opioid Overdose in Tennessee: Study by Colin Walsh

Paul Govern
October 20, 2021
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Tennessee Department of Health (TDOH) have developed 30-day predictive models for fatal and non-fatal opioid-related overdose among patients receiving opioid prescriptions in the state. The team applied machine learning techniques to statewide data sources that included details on 2,574 fatal and 8,455 non-fatal opioid-related overdoses occurring within 30 days of an opioid prescription. In all, the data involved just over 3 million patients and more than 71 million prescriptions for controlled substances.
