Large-scale data sources, remote sensing technologies, and superior computing power have tremendously benefitted to environmental health study. Recently, various machine-learning algorithms were introduced to provide mechanistic insights about the he...
Social Robots are used in different contexts and, in healthcare, they are better known as Socially Assistive Robots. In the context of asthma, the use of Socially Assistive Robots has the potential to increase motivation and engagement to treatment. ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) when coupled with large amounts of well characterised data can yield models that are expected to facilitate clinical practice and contribute to the delivery of better care, especially in chronic diseases such as asthma.Th...

OBJECTIVE: Acute exacerbations contribute significantly to the morbidity of asthma. Recent studies have shown that early detection and treatment of asthma exacerbations leads to improved outcomes. We aimed to develop a machine learning algorithm to d...
BACKGROUND: Asthma exacerbation is an acute or subacute episode of progressive worsening of asthma symptoms and can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. However, efficient methods that can help identify personalized risk factors an...
INTRODUCTION: Most asthma attacks and subsequent deaths are potentially preventable. We aim to develop a prognostic tool for identifying patients at high risk of asthma attacks in primary care by leveraging advances in machine learning.
PURPOSE: Little is known about the characteristics and impact of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) during episodes of asthma exacerbation. We aimed to characterize patients diagnosed with acute PE in the setting of asthma exacerbation, develop a predicti...

Intelligent medical diagnosis has become common in the era of big data, although this technique has been applied to asthma only in limited contexts. Using routine blood biomarkers to identify asthma patients would make clinical diagnosis easier to im...
BACKGROUND: Approximately 500,000 children undergo tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) annually for treatment of obstructive sleep disordered breathing (oSDB). Although polysomnography is beneficial for preoperative risk stratification in these chi...
