Improvement of the healthcare system is a focal point for academic leaders. In recent years, precision medicine initiatives have gained traction as a solution to improve care by leveraging healthcare analytics and informatic ... -
Approaches and Strategy for Cancer Research and Surveillance Data: Integration, Information Pipeline, Data Models, and Informatics Opportunities
The advancement of cancer research, patient care and public health currently rely on acquisition of data from a variety of sources, information-processing activities, and timely access to data that is of acceptable quality ... -
Assessing the Feasibility of Predictive Modeling for HFE- Hereditary Hemochromatosis using Electronic Health Records
Secondary use of electronic health records allows researchers the opportunity to test hypothe ses and gain new insights on complex disease phenotypes. Hereditary hemochromatosis is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder ... -
Assessing the fitness for use of real-world electronic health records and log data with and without the application of privacy preserving technologies
Over the past decade, electronic health record (EHR) adoption has led to an explosion in the volume of electronic health record and log data, then efforts to effectively harness the potential of these data for knowledge ... -
Assessing the utility of digital health technology to improve our capacity to assess and intervene in depression
When it comes to mental health, no country is considered developed. In the last decade, the burden of mental health disorders (MHD) has risen in all countries due to disparities in timely diagnosis and access to evidence-based ... -
Automated Assessment of Social Cognition in People with a Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder
Social cognitive deficits are core features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) or schizophrenia, amongst other conditions. These deficits limit overall functioning, arguably the most important outcome when treating ... -
Bayesian networks from ontological formalisms in radiation oncology
Bayesian networks (BNs) are compact, powerful representations of probabilistic knowledge well suited to applications of reasoning under uncertainty in medical domains. Traditional development of BN topology requires that ... -
Bicluster-Based Identification of Gene Sets Through Multivariate Meta-Analysis (MVMA)
Omics technologies are among the most exciting developments in biology and medicine in recent decades. They offer a whole new way of investigating a sample or a patient by taking comprehensive molecular-level snapshots. ... -
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 ... -
