iKure-McGill University Collaboration, Canada

McGill and iKure partnered together to develop AI enabled framework to identify high risk hypertensive Asian population. This consortium aims to study the various risk factors based on the patient’s current health conditions, electronic medical records, and socio-economic determinants to develop AI enabled predictive models and identify and rank high risk population and connect them with next level of care.

The current ongoing research collaboration iKure & Mcgill also extended their collaboration to study:

The impact of the effect of high-risk CVDs on COVID-19 aftermath and post-pandemic contexts
Management of Virtual Care Delivery in the Post-COVID-19 World: A Data-Driven System Optimization Approach
