Clinical Phenotyping in the Prediction of Pediatric Acute Kidney Injury
Predicting pediatric acute kidney injury is a difficult but important task. Accurate prediction would allow preventative measures to be taken before kidney injury occurs, decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated ... -
Creating a Smartphone Application for Image-Assisted Dietary Assessment among Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
In the United States, the population of those aged 65 or over numbered 44.7 million in 2013 and is anticipated to reach approximately 74 million people by 2030. More than one in four people in the United States aged 65 ... -
Data Driven Methods for Scaffolding Genomes with Hi-C
High-quality reference genomes are once again in vogue with the publication of the telomere-to-telomere human genome and several challenging plant and animal genomes. Recent efforts in genome assembly have coalesced around ... -
Data Mining the Electronic Medical Record with Intelligent Agents to Inform Decision Support Systems
An intelligent agent framework is used on an ICU EMR to create prediction models for disease onset. Eleven models are created to inspect 5 diseases: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); severe acute hypoxemic ... -
Data-driven Methods and Models for Predicting Protein Structure using Dynamic Fragments and Rotamers
(2014-04-30)Proteins play critical roles in cellular processes. A protein's conformation directly relates to its biological function and, consequently, determination of such structure can provide great insight into a protein's function. ... -
Deriving a sociotechnical model for discovery in genomics-enabled learning health systems
Recent advances in genetic sequencing technologies and analysis tools have made genomic data widely available for medical research. Despite the expectation that genomic data will revolutionize medicine, there exist major ... -
Design and Evaluation of Health Visualizations for Older Adults
Older adults, those 60 years and above, represent the quickest growing demographic group in the United States. Additionally, health related changes associated with aging make this population one of the primary consumers ... -
Design for Use and Acceptance of Tracking Tools in Healthcare
(2014-02-24)Tracking tools that collect patient-generated data can have a major impact on health outcomes and patient-clinician communication. The relationship between the patient and the clinician can be fundamentally altered when ... -
Design Implications for design of mind-body technology for adolescent sleep.
Sleep problems are common in adolescents and impact many aspects of young people. Pervasive media use, particularly in the evening, is a major reason for sleep problems in adolescents. Current approaches to reducing media ... -
Design recommendations for Pharmacogenomics Clinical Decision Support Systems
The use of pharmacogenomics (PGx)in clinical practice is still facing several challenges in reaching full adoption. PGx is an emerging field that aims to deploy genetic information to target drug therapy. To incorporate ... -
Design, Development, and Evaluation of a Patient-Centered Health Dialog System to Support Inguinal Hernia Surgery Patient Information-Seeking
Surgery patients engage in health information-seeking activities to better understand their health conditions. An example of this activity is patients collecting data outside of the hospital to track their surgery recovery. ... -
Designing and Evaluating a Patient-Driven Application for Patients with Primary Brain Tumors
From the time of diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, patients with primary brain tumors and their caregivers face a multitude of challenges and uncertainties. Many of these challenges and uncertainties have been ... -
Designing Wellness Tools for and with Older Adults
Over the past few decades, the use of new technologies such as computing and internet technology, has expanded rapidly. The emergence of these new technologies has created opportunities for health related uses. With the ... -
Developing and Evaluating a Prototype Communicable Disease Web-based Clinical Reporting Tool
Reporting reportable diseases within a timeframe is considered a cornerstone of any public health surveillance system. The purpose of surveillance is to empower decision makers to act by providing timely and accurate data. ... -
Development and Evaluation of a Web-based Electronic Medical Record System Without Borders
(2013-04-17)Despite implementation of electronic medical record (EMR) systems in the United States and other countries, EMRs often lack global access, standardization, an efficient interface, and effective knowledge-based tools at the ... -
Differential expression analysis of TOR3 knockouts in arginine-starved Leishmania major
The Arginine Deprivation Response (ADR) pathway is essential for Leishmania parasites to overcome host macrophage defense mechanisms and establish infection. The activation of this pathway appears to rely in part on ... -
EHR-Driven Phenotyping
The digital transformation of healthcare over the past two decades has led to the proliferation of electronic health record (EHR) databases. These databases present an unprecedented opportunity for biomedical knowledge ... -
Enhancing Empathy in Text-Based Teletherapy with Emotional State Inference
Over half of the U.S. population lives in an area without adequate access to mental health care and the unmet demand for mental health services has shifted to care providers who have not been trained to provide mental ... -
Enhancing Health Information-Gathering Experiences in Online Health Communities
Online health communities can offer a range of diverse personal health expertise and experiences, yet gathering relevant health information is a significant challenge for members and researchers as each party faces different ... -
