The mathematical concept that predicts your health.(Markov chain)

Описание: What if a simple math idea could predict hospital readmissions, cancer survival, and who should be seen first in triage? In this video, we break down Markov chains in plain English and show how doctors, hospitals, and researchers use them to forecast patient outcomes, schedule smarter, and design better clinical studies.

0:00 Intro — How doctors predict timelines
0:11 The core idea — Markov chains in medicine
0:34 Memoryless assumption explained
0:56 Cancer as a state journey
1:38 Defining health states: no evidence, progressed, death
2:12 Why doctors track your current state
2:32 Estimating the next state from today’s state
3:05 Prognosis numbers are population averages
3:24 Why some people beat the odds
3:59 Limits of old data and new trials
4:36 Hospital capacity planning with probabilities
5:02 Bucketing patients by urgency
5:42 How triage sets who is seen first
6:19 Why getting an appointment can be hard
6:44 Final takeaway — prioritizing the sickest helps all
