This project presents a comprehensive Power BI report for analyzing health-related datasets, focusing on environmental impacts on mental and physical well-being. The report is developed using Microsoft Power BI and covers multiple dimensions of urban health, including air pollution, noise, stress levels, sleep quality, and healthcare records.
The analysis is based on two primary datasets:
-
Air Pollution and Mental Health
Provided by the CitieS-Health project and collected in Barcelona, Spain. It investigates how air pollution and environmental factors (e.g., NO₂ levels, noise, green space exposure) influence mental health and well-being. It includes self-reported data such as stress levels, sleep quality, and cognitive test results (e.g., Stroop test). -
Healthcare Dataset
A hospital dataset covering U.S. patients from 2019 to 2024. It includes information about medical conditions, hospital admissions, billing, treatments, and outcomes, enabling trend and cost-effectiveness analyses over time.
- Microsoft Power BI: For data import, cleaning, modeling, and dashboard/report creation.
- Power Query Editor: For data transformation.
- GeoJSON + Shape Map: For district-level geospatial filtering in Barcelona.
- Null value treatment (removal, replacement with mean, etc.)
- Data type conversions
- Redundant or erroneous data elimination
- Feature engineering (new calculated columns such as well-being level, sleep quality groupings, etc.)
- Correlation between NO₂ levels and well-being, stress, and cognitive performance
- Impact of noise on perceived stress
- Sleep quality versus air quality
- Effect of education level on perceived well-being
- Outdoor activity time vs. exposure to pollution
- Seasonal trends in pollution and temperature
- Gender-based exposure comparisons
- District-specific dashboards (via interactive maps)
- Patient age vs. recovery time and medical condition
- Admission type analysis
- Clustering of patient profiles
- Blood type distribution and health outcomes
- Barcelona, Spain (Air pollution dataset)
- United States (Healthcare dataset)
- Interactive filtering by district, gender, or survey date
- Use of geospatial mapping for targeted insights
- Temporal trend analysis for both health and environmental variables
- Dynamic dashboards with slicers and KPIs
