Latest AI and machine learning research in universal precautions for healthcare professionals.
In 2021, Maccabi Healthcare Services (MHS) introduced "UTI Smart-Set" (UTIS), an AI-driven decision support system (DSS) based on a machine-learning (ML) algorithm, to optimize antibiotic treatments for UTIs. UTIS reduced antibiotic mismatch-defined as pathogen resistance to prescribed empiric antibiotic based on culture-by ~ 30%, yet ~ 33% of physicians did not follow its recommendations. We aime...
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease plays a crucial role in viral maturation by cleaving both viral and host precursor proteins. Accurate prediction of HIV-1 protease cleavage sites is therefore essential for understanding viral pathogenesis and developing therapeutic inhibitors. This study aimed to establish a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN)-based framework integrated...
