Job opening: Amsterdam UMC seeks PhD candidate for AI model in palliative care for heart failure

Amsterdam UMC is looking for a PhD candidate to contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of cardiology, AI, and palliative care. This project focuses on developing an AI model to predict timely palliative care for heart failure and reduce hospital admissions.

Heart failure is one of the most common causes of death in the Netherlands, with significant impact on patients and their families. This research project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model that uses data from electronic health records to accurately predict the final 12 months of life for heart failure patients. The goal is to better align care with patient needs and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions.

As a PhD candidate, you will play a central role in developing and validating the AI model, collaborating with healthcare professionals and patient organizations to ensure practical application of the results.
