Abstract: Digital care management platform for managing a care service and comprising a processor and a memory storing a database storing data for service users and program code. The program code when executed by the processor for each visit by a care assistant to a service user indicates a list of questions to a mobile computing device of the care assistant and updates the database in accordance with answers to the questions received from the carer device. The memory further stores program code to implement a predictive model, which may be a machine learning model utilising logistic regression, which processes data for a service user to calculate a score indicative of the likelihood that the service user will require hospitalisation in a subsequent time period. The list of questions may be personalised to service users based on the stored data, and may vary in dependence on whether the user is affected by particular medical conditions in a list. The conditions may include chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), types 1 and 2 diabetes, and urinary tract infection (UTI). The program code may provide a recommended preventative action to reduce the risk of hospitalisation if the calculated risk exceeds a threshold.
