"Agent-based modeling and its applications in healthcare"
Modeling and simulation are increasingly used in healthcare research, in particular in population health using a systems approach. Examples of application areas include the study of health interventions, such as smoking cessation or weight reduction approaches. So-called agent-based or individual-based models are very popular for this purpose, due to their flexibility and ease of construction. This talk will provide an introduction to agent-based models, their basic structure, with a detailed discussion of some specific models.
