The BPD prediction StudyFrank Bennis developed a model that predicts the development of BPD (at 36 weeks) using routinely collected clinical data and continuous vital signs collected in the first 7 days after birth. The prediction model consists of an auto-encoder with long short-term memory model, embedded in a neural network. The model is currently implemented in EPIC for automatic outcome prediction and real-world model performance monitoring.

The Royal Dutch Football Association’s Concussion ClinicThe Royal Duthc Football Association's Concussion Clinic, supervised by Marloes Hoppen, is a combined clinical and research outpatient clinic for patients with persisting symptoms after sport-related concussion. The structured care path contributes to continuously expanding database for care evaluation and scientific research. The cohort involves more than 500 patients in 2025, representing the largest cohort of patients with persisting symptoms after sport-related concussion in Europe. Research based on this cohort is part of the Dutch Clinical Guidelines for care in this patient group.Data-driven health care innovationMarsh Königs
The Health Intelligence Program at the Daan Theeuwes Center for Intensive NeurorehabilitationRuud van der Veen aims to provide continuous care evaluation for young adults with severe brain injury. As part of this program, interprofessional data collection has been structured in a Measurement Feedback System. This clinical data is routinely measured as part of the primary care process, captured in an electronic patient data platform, directly fed back to the interdisciplinary team by individual patient dashboards and used as a basis for clinical decision-making by the interdisciplinary team meeting in cycles of 6 weeks. The structured data also flows into continuously expanding databases with longitudinal data tracking interdisciplinary recovery progress, used for a periodic cycle of care evaluation and scientific research aimed at the transition towards precision medicine.Data-driven health care innovationMarsh Königs
