Latest AI and machine learning research in flu & uri for healthcare professionals.
Emerging pandemics are often driven by viral spillover events. However, predicting them remains difficult due to the complex interplay between viral genetics, host adaptability, and ecological dynamics. While traditional models rely on ecological or host traits, recent advances using viral sequence data and machine learning approaches have improved prediction accuracy. However, these approaches of...
BACKGROUND: Traditional auscultation, heavily dependent on the subjective judgment of physicians, can lead to variability in diagnoses. This study aimed to explore the application of machine learning algorithms for analyzing breath sounds in children with asthma, particularly those with asthma in remission and those with cough variant asthma (CVA). METHODS: Our study collected breath sound data fr...
