The shift towards Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in both research and clinical practice is making it easier to give patients the care they need without adding extra costs [3]. Accessing highly qualified big EHR datasets for improving deep learning-based models is a big challenge. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of deep learning models that can generate realistic and high-quality synthetic data that can be used for various applications. A time-series GAN is required for generating patient data since this type of data is considered temporal and is being measured over time [2]. In this master thesis, we aim to improve time series generative adversarial networks [1] in terms of EHR’s temporal and spatial aspects.
