Understanding the East Midlands

Reference: SDE_EM_PROJ_0001 Led by: University of Derby

Title: Modelling spatial-temporal health and social-economic factors in the East Midlands to inform service planning, targeting and design

The project seeks to understand the East Midlands complex structure and its context. The findings will help identify health inequalities in the region and improve quality measures to estimate the efficacy and efficiency of medical interventions at population scale. Of particular interest is how non-medical socio-economic population factors (e.g. education, crime, property, etc.) influence medical interventions, morbidity and mortality.
