Analytics for Living’s Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence algorithms and syndicated tools can identify at risk populations. 

Syndicated tools identify subnational geographic areas of concern among priority population segments; utilization of rx, therapy, patient types (young adults, racial/ethnic minorities, essential workers) and military.  

Integrating syndicated Analytics-for-Livings ML/AI tools with public, community, educational, employer, health system(s) and corporation data enables prioritization within subsets of the populations and persons at risk
