Bridging the gap between models and reality: development of a research environment for an object-oriented hospital information system to integrate artificial intelligence and robotics into clinical practice.

INTRODUCTION: Hospital information systems (HISs) are the main access opportunity for medical professionals to computer-based patient administration. However, current HISs are primarily designed to function as office applications rather than as comprehensive management and supporting tools. Due to their inflexible architecture, integrating modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) mode...

Machine learning for the prediction of urosepsis using electronic health record data.

Urosepsis, a medical condition resulting from the progression of urinary tract infection (UTI), is a leading cause of death in the US. Urosepsis occurs due to complicated UTI and constitutes ~25% of sepsis cases. Early prediction of urosepsis is critical in providing personalized care, reducing diagnostic uncertainty, lowering mortality rates. While machine learning (ML) techniques have the potent...
