ISGlobal is seeking a statistician/data scientist to work in the project TOLIFE, which aims to combine artificial intelligence and smart sensing toward better management and improved quality of LIFE in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The statistician will derive early warning signals from the smart sensors used for data collection and then estimate whether they are predictive of a subsequent exacerbation in the next days. To build a model for early prediction of the exacerbation events, the trends and patterns of the patient health variables and indexes will be integrated and analysed, thus characterizing the clinical profiles the days preceding an exacerbation. The candidate needs to have skills in time-series analyses and machine learning.
