The overarching goal of such reasoning is to help aid decision-making for optimal triage and subsequent intervention. Healthcare and Bio-informatics: More commonly known as'Survival Analysis' involves prognostication of an adverse physiological event like a stroke, the onset of cancer, re-hospitalization, and mortality.
