Augmented Intelligence (AI) systems have the power to transform health care and bring us closer to the quadruple aim: enhancing patient experience, improving population health, reducing costs, and improving the work life of health care providers. Ear...
Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) re-humanize or de-humanize medicine? As AI becomes pervasive in clinical medicine, we argue that the ethical framework that sustains a responsible implementation of such technologies should be reconsidered. The emerg...
The classification of esophageal disease based on gastroscopic images is important in the clinical treatment, and is also helpful in providing patients with follow-up treatment plans and preventing lesion deterioration. In recent years, deep learning...
Developers proposing new machine learning for health (ML4H) tools often pledge to match or even surpass the performance of existing tools, yet the reality is usually more complicated. Reliable deployment of ML4H to the real world is challenging as ex...
Autonomous intelligent systems are starting to influence clinical practice, as ways to both readily exploit experts' knowledge when contextual conditions demand so, and harness the overwhelming amount of patient related data currently at clinicians' ...
We explore the Covid-19 diffusion with an agent-based model of an Italian region with a population on a scale of 1:1000. We also simulate different vaccination strategies. From a decision support system perspective, we investigate the adoption of art...
In radiology, natural language processing (NLP) allows the extraction of valuable information from radiology reports. It can be used for various downstream tasks such as quality improvement, epidemiological research, and monitoring guideline adherenc...
Medical image segmentation has seen positive developments in recent years but remains challenging with many practical obstacles to overcome. The applications of this task are wide-ranging in many fields of medicine, and used in several imaging modali...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease with first symptoms similar to the flu. COVID-19 appeared first in China and very quickly spreads to the rest of the world, causing then the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic. In many cases, thi...
It is well known that information technology (IT) can play a pivotal role in enhancing healthcare quality and patient safety. The use of computational science to enhance the capabilities of hospital information systems helps deliver enhanced healthca...
