Deep learning for COVID-19 diagnosis using CXR images with limited data.
Online symptom checkers have significant potential to improve patient care, however their reliability and accuracy remain variable. We hypothesised that an artificial intelligence (AI) powered triage and diagnostic system would compare favourably with human doctors with respect to triage and diagnostic accuracy. We per…
Visual summarization of clinical data collected on patients contained within the electronic health record (EHR) may enable precise and rapid triage at the time of patient presentation to an emergency department (ED). The triage process is critical in the appropriate allocation of resources and in anticipating eventual …
Deep learning model predicts severe COVID-19 outcomes.
Emergency Department (ED) crowding is a worldwide issue that affects the efficiency of hospital management and the quality of patient care. This occurs when the request for an admit ward-bed to receive a patient is delayed until an admission decision is made by a doctor. To reduce the overcrowding and waiting time of E…
Gradient-based algorithm improves model performance with triage.
With an aging and growing population, the number of women requiring either screening or symptomatic mammograms is increasing. To reduce the number of mammograms that need to be read by a radiologist while keeping the diagnostic accuracy the same or better than current clinical practice, we develop Man and Machine Mammo…
PCA-Triage optimizes sensor data sampling for IoT networks.
Analyzes COVID-19 data to predict mortality, forecast spread, and optimize resource allocation.
We present an operational component of a real-world patient triage system. Given a specific patient presentation, the system is able to assess the level of medical urgency and issue the most appropriate recommendation in terms of best point of care and time to treat. We use an attention-based convolutional neural netwo…
Much work aims to explain a model's prediction on a static input. We consider explanations in a temporal setting where a stateful dynamical model produces a sequence of risk estimates given an input at each time step. When the estimated risk increases, the goal of the explanation is to attribute the increase to a few r…
SpeakerStew verifies 46 languages with reduced training and inference costs.
Discovering oral cavity cancer (OCC) at an early stage is an effective way to increase patient survival rate. However, current initial screening process is done manually and is expensive for the average individual, especially in developing countries worldwide. This problem is further compounded due to the lack of speci…
Study assesses CNN model robustness to noise in low-cost CT scans.
Email has remained a principal form of communication among people, both in enterprise and social settings. With a deluge of emails crowding our mailboxes daily, there is a dire need of smart email systems that can recover important emails and make personalized recommendations. In this work, we study the problem of pred…
Bayesian neural networks improve SHD classification and uncertainty quantification.
Dynamic CBDT improves treatment effect estimation in clinical data.
Framework uses human judgment to distinguish algorithmically indistinguishable cases.
The standard approach to compressive sampling considers recovering an unknown deterministic signal with certain known structure, and designing the sub-sampling pattern and recovery algorithm based on the known structure. This approach requires looking for a good representation that reveals the signal structure, and sol…
Improved forecasting of suicide attempts using LSGPs for patients with little data.
Efficiently fine-tunes patient-independent seizure detection models with tensor kernel machine.
Many data-rich industries are interested in the efficient discovery and modelling of structures underlying large data sets, as it allows for the fast triage and dimension reduction of large volumes of data embedded in high dimensional spaces. The modelling of these underlying structures is also beneficial for the creat…
In this work we explore the use of metric index structures, which accelerate nearest neighbor queries, in the scenario where we need to interleave insertions and queries during deployment. This use-case is inspired by a real-life need in malware analysis triage, and is surprisingly understudied. Existing literature ten…
Personalized models explain TB treatment outcomes considering patient context.
Simulates patient pathways to detect delayed rare disease diagnoses.
Model predicts wound and episode-level readmission risk and time to re-admit.
Currently, approximately 30% of epileptic patients treated with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) remain resistant to treatment (known as refractory patients). This project seeks to understand the underlying similarities in refractory patients vs. other epileptic patients, identify features contributing to drug resistance acr…
Cluster analysis aims at separating patients into phenotypically heterogenous groups and defining therapeutically homogeneous patient subclasses. It is an important approach in data-driven disease classification and subtyping. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a syndrome due to sudden decrease of coronary artery blood f…
The health outcomes of high-need patients can be substantially influenced by the degree of patient engagement in their own care. The role of care managers includes that of enrolling patients into care programs and keeping them sufficiently engaged in the program, so that patients can attain various goals. The attainmen…
Deep learning model creates patient representations for scalable EHR-based stratification.
Characterizing a patient's progression through stages of sepsis is critical for enabling risk stratification and adaptive, personalized treatment. However, commonly used sepsis diagnostic criteria fail to account for significant underlying heterogeneity, both between patients as well as over time in a single patient. W…
We develop a personalized real time risk scoring algorithm that provides timely and granular assessments for the clinical acuity of ward patients based on their (temporal) lab tests and vital signs. Heterogeneity of the patients population is captured via a hierarchical latent class model. The proposed algorithm aims t…
Longitudinal patient data has the potential to improve clinical risk stratification models for disease. However, chronic diseases that progress slowly over time are often heterogeneous in their clinical presentation. Patients may progress through disease stages at varying rates. This leads to pathophysiological misalig…
Study automates detection of visitation disruptions in ICU patients.
Bayesian methods improve group testing for identifying infected patients.
To address potential gaps noted in patient monitoring in the hospital, a novel patient behavior detection system using mmWave radar and deep convolution neural network (CNN), which supports the simultaneous recognition of multiple patients' behaviors in real-time, is proposed. In this study, we use an mmWave radar to t…
Model identifies key problems in HIV patients' records.
Evaluating the clinical similarities between pairwise patients is a fundamental problem in healthcare informatics. A proper patient similarity measure enables various downstream applications, such as cohort study and treatment comparative effectiveness research. One major carrier for conducting patient similarity resea…
Study develops electronic phenotypes of ICU patient acuity.
Deep learning clusters patient time-series data for better prognosis.
Multi-output Gaussian processes (GPs) are a flexible Bayesian nonparametric framework that has proven useful in jointly modeling the physiological states of patients in medical time series data. However, capturing the short-term effects of drugs and therapeutic interventions on patient physiological state remains chall…
Over the past decades, both critical care and cancer care have improved substantially. Due to increased cancer-specific survival, we hypothesized that both the number of cancer patients admitted to the ICU and overall survival have increased since the millennium change. MIMIC-III, a freely accessible critical care data…
Machine learning detects NASH patients from medical claims data.
Many computational models were proposed to extract temporal patterns from clinical time series for each patient and among patient group for predictive healthcare. However, the common relations among patients (e.g., share the same doctor) were rarely considered. In this paper, we represent patients and clinicians relati…
