Current projects and activities
- Co-founder of Amalfi Analytics, a spin-off of UPC
that applies our research in Machine Learning and Data Mining to the management of healthcare organizations.
Our typical customers are hospitals and healthcare planning agencies.
We help them use their data to improve patient attention processes
in cost-effective ways.

Hospital de Sant Pau (readmission predictions),
Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) (temporal trajectories of oncology patients),
Fundació Pere Virgili (evolution of fragile patients),
CatSalut (Health Service of Catalonia) (patient mobility and resource usage),
Consorci Sanitari del Maresme (absenteeism and work injuries in the healthcare workforce),
Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa (patient flows in the emergency department).
- PI of AGAUR Llavor project
"A system for predicting and managing admission pressure at hospital emergency department".
This project is partially funded by the "Fons Europeus de Desenvolupament Regional" (FEDER)
