Reducing hospital readmissions using data science and a social twist
summary
A clinical randomized trial tests whether family-sent SMS prompts increase attendance to cardiac rehab compared with usual robo-calls, measuring each patient's presence across the 36 insured sessions (baseline dropout about two thirds). The project pairs a simple messaging platform with analysis of EMR-derived risk factors — distance, income, smoking, caregiver status — to target who needs intervention, and reports initial enrollment where patients supply contacts and family members reliably opt in. Results will show whether this low‑cost social nudge changes session-by-session adherence.
