AI Forecasting Model Targets Healthcare Resource Efficiency
University of Hertfordshire researchers, in partnership with regional NHS bodies, have built an AI forecasting model that uses five years of historical data to predict healthcare demand. The system integrates admissions, bed capacity, workforce availability, and demographic factors to generate short-, medium- and long‑term operational scenarios. Pilot testing is underway in hospitals, with plans to extend the model to community services and care homes as the Central East Integrated Care Board expands. The tool aims to shift NHS management from reactive responses to proactive, data‑driven resource planning.
