A Reinforcement Learning Based Resource Management System for Long Term Care for Elderly People

Project Description

A reinforcement learning method will model the behaviour of community care organisations with sequential decision processes focusing on organising the distribution, procurement and management of daily necessities, consumables, food, hospital emergency care needs. This builds upon results from a previous study that have been done by Dr Chen at Anhui Medical University. This model will provide a framework to explore the optimal resource allocation for community care partners, with the goal of optimising resource allocation for care organisations. This research will bring both communities and hospitals to focus on the health care needs of an ageing society, focusing on developing a more sustainable role for community care.
