Case Study: NHS National Services Scotland achieves better COPD risk prediction with Storm ID

NHS National Services Scotland reduces COPD admissions by 49% with Storm ID

The customer, NHS National Services Scotland, faced the challenge of proactively managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a condition that leads to numerous emergency admissions and high costs for the healthcare system. They collaborated with vendor Storm ID to leverage machine learning and develop a predictive solution aimed at identifying high-risk patients.

Storm ID implemented a clinical study that used machine learning models trained on historical health data to predict which COPD patients were at the highest risk of adverse events. The solution included a carefully designed user experience to present insights clearly to clinicians and patients. Interim results showed the models were highly predictive and clinically safe, contributing to a 49% reduction in admissions during the trial and saving 4.74 annual bed days per patient.
