Abstract
A method, a computer program product, and a computer system predict medication adherence of a patient. The method includes identifying risk factors associated with medication adherence of the patient. The method includes determining a likely behaviour for medication adherence of the patient based on the identified risk factors and a temporal causal model. The temporal causal model is based on features of a patient cluster to which the patient belongs. The features are nodes in the temporal causal model. The likely behaviour is based on causality measures for each identified risk factor to the nodes. The method includes determining a current medication adherence value of the patient. The current medication adherence value is indicative of a ratio between an actual medication regiment and an expected medication regiment. The method includes determining a future medication adherence value of the patient based on the current medication adherence value and the causality measures.
