AI Chatbot for Cancer Patient Support: Development and Evaluation Using Llama 3.1, Mistral 7B, and PHI 3B.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This study develops and evaluates a question-answering (Q&A) system for breast cancer patients using generative AI technologies. We compared the performance of three language models-Llama 3.1, Mistral 7B and Phi 3.5. The goal is to integrate this sys...

Delirium Identification from Nursing Reports Using Large Language Models.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This study investigates large language models for delirium detection from nursing reports, comparing keyword matching, prompting, and finetuning. Using a manually labelled dataset from the University Hospital Freiburg, Germany, we tested Llama3 and P...

Artificial Intelligence Powered Audiomics: The Futuristic Biomarker in Pulmonary Medicine - A State-of-the-Art Review.

Studies in health technology and informatics
AI-driven "audiomics" leverages voice and respiratory sounds as non-invasive biomarkers to diagnose and manage pulmonary conditions, including COVID-19, tuberculosis, ILD, asthma, and COPD. By analyzing acoustic features, machine and deep learning en...

Exploring the Potential of GPT-4 in Creating Billing Codes from Clinic Notes.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Creating standardized billing codes from clinic notes is challenging due to the complexity of over 22,000 codes and the unstructured nature of medical records. This paper investigates how well GPT-4, can automate CPT/HCPCS codes generation. To assess...

Transformer-Based Multilabel NER Using Wikipedia Corpora in Multiple Languages.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The high cost of manual data labeling and privacy concerns result in a considerable dearth of medical annotations in non-English texts. Recent work by Frank and Kramer [1] introduces an unsupervised approach for constructing an ontology-annotated cor...

A Perfect Start with Retrieval-Augmented Generation: Building a Chatbot to Support the Onboarding Process in SMEs.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The integration of new employees into a company is crucial for employee satisfaction and staff retention. This paper presents a chatbot designed to optimize onboarding using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which provides interactive and persona...

Evaluating LLMs' Potential to Identify Rare Patient Identifiers in Patient Health Records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This study explores the utility of Large Language Models (LLMs) to support finding rare patient record details that could make a patient identifiable. Whilst most research has focused on what we call direct patient identifiers, indirect patient ident...

Optimizing Automated KCD Coding: A Retrieval-Verification Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This study proposes a two-step Retrieval-Verification system for automating the assignment of Korean Standard Classification of Diseases (KCD) codes to free-text diagnoses. The system uses SapBERT-XLMR for initial retrieval, followed by Llama 3.1 for...

Translating UMLS Concepts to Improve Medical Entity Linking in French: A SapBERT-Based Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Medical Entity Linking (MEL) refers to the task of automatically detecting and codifying medical concepts, which is an important preprocessing step for exploiting unstructured medical reports. SapBERT is an efficient MEL method for the English langua...

Automating Performance Status Annotation in Oncology Using Llama-3.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This work explores the automated extraction of medical information from Dutch clinical notes using Llama-3 and a limited amount of annotations. We compared zero-, one- and few-shot learning for the extraction of performance status of patients with pa...
