D2Hawkeye to Present New Methods in Predictive Modeling at Society Of Actuaries Annual Meeting Print


Company Unveils and Validates New Methods for Modeling Risk for Individuals,

Driving Earlier Medical Interventions



WALTHAM, Mass. - October 10, 2007 - D2Hawkeye®, Inc., the market leader in transforming healthcare data into actionable information, announced today that its founder and CEO, Chris Kryder, M.D.,  will outline new methods in predictive modeling at the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Annual Meeting on Monday, October 15. 

 

Dr. Kryder will be joined by Margrét Vilborg Bjarnadóttir, a PhD Candidate at the MIT Operations Research Center, and David Wilson, President of Windsor Strategy Partners, in a session titled, “Analytics You Should Know, but Don’t.”  The panel will address research developed by D2Hawkeye and members of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Operations Research Center, and introduce new modeling ideas, new methods for cost predictions, and validation in the form of sample experiments.

 

“This discussion will provide actuaries with a first look at research that will have an immediate and direct impact upon underwriting,” said Dr. Kryder.  “We believe that actuaries have never before had access to quantifiable, repeatable, prospective, and transparent risk measurements for individuals and population sub-groups. Furthermore, we will demonstrate analytical methods that pinpoint the ‘evidence-based medical’ opportunities which are mission critical for early interventions that improve outcomes and reduce costs.”
