That was the central question when Nanna Winther Selmer presented her PhD project at the GRASPH Summer School on 13–14 May.
The project, part of the overarching Interreg Öresund–Kattegat–Skagerrak project Bridging Safe Elderly Care, focuses on developing a prediction model to identify elderly multimorbid patients at risk of being readmitted within 30 days.
During the summer school, Nanna received valuable professional feedback and academic input from both supervisors and PhD peers with related research interests.
Predictive modelling was a recurring theme in several keynote presentations and workshops, where the possibilities, limitations, and ethical aspects of predictive health models were discussed – a rapidly evolving field of great relevance for the healthcare systems of the future.
The GRASPH Summer School is an annual initiative organised by the national network for **doctoral training in public health, in collaboration with Denmark’s four universities.
The programme brings together junior and senior researchers for academic lectures, workshops, and project presentations – all aimed at strengthening public health research in Denmark.
