Machine Learning Approaches for Extracting Stage from Pathology Reports in Prostate Cancer.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical and pathological stage are defining parameters in oncology, which direct a patient's treatment options and prognosis. Pathology reports contain a wealth of staging information that is not stored in structured form in most electronic health r...

An Adversorial Approach to Enable Re-Use of Machine Learning Models and Collaborative Research Efforts Using Synthetic Unstructured Free-Text Medical Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We leverage Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to produce synthetic free-text medical data with low re-identification risk, and apply these to replicate machine learning solutions. We trained GAN models to generate free-text cancer pathology repor...

Maxwell®: An Unsupervised Learning Approach for 5P Medicine.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In the 5P medicine (Personalized, Preventive, Participative, Predictive and Pluri-expert), the general trend is to process data by displacing the barycenter of the information from hospital centered systems to the patient centered ones through his pe...

Identifying Patients with Significant Problems Related to Social Determinants of Health with Natural Language Processing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Social and behavioral factors influence health but are infrequently recorded in electronic health records (EHRs). Here, we demonstrate that psychosocial vital signs can be extracted from EHR data. We processed structured and unstructured EHR data usi...

Skin Lesion Detection with Support Vector Machines on iOS Devices.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Automated wound detection has become a common issue in health care. A broad variety of image processing algorithms already exist, but they are very power consuming on mobile devices. Meanwhile the use of machine learning algorithms is on the rise and...

Demand Analysis and Function Design of Health Decision Support System in China.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In order to improve the level of health decision-making, based on health information resources and decision support function types, this study summarized five core functions of health decision support system: information support, monitoring and early...

Extracting Alcohol and Substance Abuse Status from Clinical Notes: The Added Value of Nursing Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We applied an open source natural language processing (NLP) system "NimbleMiner" to identify clinical notes with mentions of alcohol and substance abuse. NimbleMiner allows users to rapidly discover clinical vocabularies (using word embedding model) ...

A New Approach to Compare the Performance of Two Classification Methods of Causes of Death for Timely Surveillance in France.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Timely mortality surveillance in France is based on the monitoring of electronic death certificates to provide information to health authorities. This study aims to analyze the performance of a rule-based and a supervised machine learning method to c...

Evaluating the Validity of a Knowledge-Based System for Proactive Knowledge Transfer for Caregiving Relatives.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The evaluation of the validity of a knowledge-based system is of great importance during its development. It determines whether the system represents the experts' knowledge correctly. This is highly important, but also particularly difficult, if the ...

Automatic Sleep Stages Classification Combining Semantic Representation and Dynamic Expert System.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Interest in sleep has been growing in the last decades, considering its benefits for well-being, but also to diagnose sleep troubles. The gold standard to monitor sleep consists of recording the course of many physiological parameters during a whole ...
