Abstract

Temporal sequence modelling and claims-based analytics help deep learning pipelines forecast public and commercial health system illness costs. Hybrid LSTM networks and temporal CNNs represent chronic and infectious disease development's intricate temporal connections and nonlinear cost dynamics. Data on electronic health records, insurance claims, demographics, and resource use predict multi-institutional healthcare costs and financial risk. Hospital and payer system interpretation and scalability are real-time with feature attribution and modular pipelines. Policy and finance benefit from foresight, cost spike identification, and resource allocation optimisation. Health economics cost-control and risk-management benefit from deep temporal models.
