Taiwo Oluwatosin Omolase: How Data-Driven Risk Stratification Can Support Early Stroke Detection and Prevention

Taiwo Oluwatosin Omolase, Data Analyst at Kinplus Technologies, shared on LinkedIn:

”Stroke Risk Analytics Dashboard | Healthcare Data Project

I recently analyzed 5,109 patient records from the Kaggle Stroke Prediction Dataset to explore patterns in stroke occurrence.

Key Findings:

  • Total Stroke Cases: 249 (4.87%)
  • Average Stroke Age: 67.7 years
  • Female patients recorded more stroke cases (141 vs 108 males)
  • 73% of stroke patients had no diagnosed hypertension
  • Age 60+ consistently showed stronger association with stroke occurrence.

What This Project Reinforced:

  • Raw counts can be misleading in healthcare analytics.
  • Risk interpretation requires subgroup rate calculations, not just frequency.
  • For example, while a large number of stroke cases appeared in older non smokers without hypertension, this may reflect population distribution rather than elevated individual risk.

Tools Used:

As a pharmacist with growing interest in healthcare analytics, I am particularly passionate about how datadriven risk stratification can support early detection and preventive medicine.

I welcome feedback from healthcare professionals and data scientists.”
