[Population Modeling] Introduction Email

[Walonoski, Jason A.]

While we model asthma at a high-level, using some publicly available statistics, we have not closely validated that module against real-world data. The modules have varying levels of verification and validation. Since our model does not consider regional air pollution, I have no reason to believe it would be that accurate. Pollution (of all kinds), the environment, and a wide range of  other “determinants of health” are factors that we want to add as time goes on.

Thanks,
Jay.

As a follow-up, have you compared health effect estimates using the synthetic and real-world data? For example, if you looked at the impact of air pollution on asthma using each type of data, then do you get similar results?

Thanks

Hi Jason,

When Synthea outputs to EHR, it uses  HL7 or FHIR - this is an advantage over many other systems. I thought it is worthwhile mentioning this beyond your text.

I also saw it has built in modules and you already modeled some diseases such as diabetes, beyond your example.

Thanks for sharing.
