Project Description. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Older age, obesity and lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and unhealthy diet are major risk factors for T2D. Read more
Risk-stratified management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), where people without established disease receive preventative interventions and monitoring based on their 10-years predicted risk, has been highly successful to ensure healthcare resources are allocated to those most likely to benefit.

Although the integration of global markets leads to increasing economic efficiency and growth, extreme risk or crisis can spread from one market to another in a very short period of time. Read more
Clinical prediction models (CPMs) are mathematical models/algorithms that take what we know about a person and predict the probability of experiencing a subsequent outcome using a regression model or algorithm. Read more
Background. Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent long-term conditions globally. However, options for identifying and preventing the condition have low uptake and underserve groups in greatest need. Read more
Half of all women, and 20% of men, aged over 50 years will sustain a fracture in their remaining lifetime. However, people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) are particularly predisposed towards excess fall and fracture risk and subsequent hospital admission. Read more
Scientific research is intimately bound up with risk. For one thing, scientific findings often reveal significant societal risks, such as risks of catastrophic climate change or dangerous disease outbreaks. Read more
Built on the initial work of ‘Applying AI to building blueprints for insurance risk assessment (AURIE)’, this project aims to develop an ontology digital twinning approach to construct the domain knowledge graphs for improved risk assessment and underwriting capability. Read more
HDR UK is funding six PhDs with leading UK universities and research organisations. This brand-new programme offers the chance to carry out a doctoral research project at the leading edge of health data science. Read more
As life-expectancy improves for people living with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), new challenges in optimally managing an older, co-morbid population are likely to arise. Read more
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Often, the main pathological process responsible is the development of an arterial thrombus (or blood clot). Read more
There is a clear and unmet need to address the diagnosis of hip fracture risk associated with osteoporosis. Whereas low weight is a well-documented risk factor for future bone fractures, a high body weight seems to protect against hip fracture. Read more
