Automated Error Detection in Physiotherapy Training.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: Manual skills teaching, such as physiotherapy education, requires immediate teacher feedback for the students during the learning process, which to date can only be performed by expert trainers.

Cleansing and Imputation of Body Mass Index Data and Its Impact on a Machine Learning Based Prediction Model.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: A challenge of using electronic health records for secondary analyses is data quality. Body mass index (BMI) is an important predictor for various diseases but often not documented properly.

EHR Text Categorization for Enhanced Patient-Based Document Navigation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Patients with multiple disorders usually have long diagnosis lists, constitute by ICD-10 codes together with individual free-text descriptions. These text snippets are produced by overwriting standardized ICD-Code topics by the physicians at the poin...

A New Machine Learning Framework for Understanding the Link Between Cannabis Use and First-Episode Psychosis.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Lately, several studies started to investigate the existence of links between cannabis use and psychotic disorders. This work proposes a refined Machine Learning framework for understanding the links between cannabis use and 1st episode psychosis. Th...

Selection of Semantic Relevant Healthcare Services Subsets.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We describe an approach to select semantically coherent specialty subsets based on the historical use of terminology by different service areas. Our approach uses rule-based and machine learning techniques to obtain a reduced set of 29 specialties.

Radiation Oncology Terminology Linker: A Step Towards a Linked Data Knowledge Base.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Performing image feature extraction in radiation oncology is often dependent on the organ and tumor delineations provided by clinical staff. These delineation names are free text DICOM metadata fields resulting in undefined information, which require...

Personalized Knowledge Transfer for Caregiving Relatives.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Caregiving relatives have to manage very diverse tasks and need a lot of care-relevant knowledge. For most of them it is not easy to find the knowledge required. Thus, a personalized knowledge transfer for caregiving relatives is necessary. Against t...

Building Bayesian Networks from Causal Rules.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Bayesian Networks (BNs) are often used for designing diagnosis decision support systems. They are a well-established method for reasoning under uncertainty and making inferences. But, eliciting the probabilities can be tedious and time-consuming espe...

Improving Layman Readability of Clinical Narratives with Unsupervised Synonym Replacement.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We report on the development and evaluation of a prototype tool aimed to assist laymen/patients in understanding the content of clinical narratives. The tool relies largely on unsupervised machine learning applied to two large corpora of unlabeled te...

Fine-Tuning Neural Patient Question Retrieval Model with Generative Adversarial Networks.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The online patient question and answering (Q&A) system attracts an increasing amount of users in China. Patient will post their questions and wait for doctors' response. To avoid the lag time involved with the waiting and to reduce the workload o...
