My company Draper and Dash have tasked me with organising a wider meet-up event for anyone who is interested in AI / ML in healthcare. This wider working group consists of people from different sectors, however they are interested in how we can apply AI / ML methods in their organisations. Why did we choose...
Lots of exciting things are happening with Draper and Dash at the moment. We have been working with key healthcare partners to design some core predictive machine learning algorithms to enable trusts to more effectively manage their performance, demand and capacity pressures. This series focuses on Stranded Patients and Super Stranded patients – these are...

I was inspired by my friend John Mackintosh to have a muck around with the fabulous gganimate. I have to say…. I am in love. I can remember coding this into Excel VBA, to get my animations to work on my data, and now R has the potential. John will remind me that it has...
It seems like two seconds ago since I was frantically preparing slides for the first NHS community. Wow – what an experience and kudos to the team @NHS-R Community for arranging it. The full content of the event has been posted: https://nhsrcommunity.com/nhs-r-conference-9-october-2018/. What a fantastic event this was and I met many of my fellow...
The problem I was working with a dataset where I wanted to assess the correlation of different variables in R. As much as I like R – the outputs from the console window leave something to be desired (in terms of data visualisation). Therefore, I wanted a way to visualise these correlations in a nicer...
