Bridging the AI-Literacy Gap in Health Care: Qualitative Analysis of the Flanders Case Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Building on the assertion that nearly every clinician will eventually use artificial intelligence (AI), this study provides a triangulated qualitative analysis of the requirements, challenges, and prospects for integrating AI into routine...

A comparative analysis of heterogeneity in lung cancer screening effectiveness in two randomised controlled trials.

Nature communications
Clinical trials demonstrate that screening can reduce lung cancer mortality by over 20%. However, lung cancer screening effectiveness (reduction in lung cancer specific mortality) may vary by personal risk-factors. Here we evaluate heterogeneity in l...

Comparing the applicability of de facto population markers for spatiotemporal trend analysis in wastewater-based epidemiology.

Journal of hazardous materials
Wastewater-based epidemiology is an effective public health approach that enables early detection, monitoring, and assessment of community health trends by analysing human excretion products in wastewater. Here, accurate population normalization is e...

Predicting haemoglobin deferral using machine learning models: Can we use the same prediction model across countries?

Vox sanguinis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Personalized donation strategies based on haemoglobin (Hb) prediction models may reduce Hb deferrals and hence costs of donation, meanwhile improving commitment of donors. We previously found that prediction models perform ...

Report of the First ONTOX Stakeholder Network Meeting: Digging Under the Surface of ONTOX Together With the Stakeholders.

Alternatives to laboratory animals : ATLA
The first Stakeholder Network Meeting of the EU Horizon 2020-funded ONTOX project was held on 13-14 March 2023, in Brussels, Belgium. The discussion centred around identifying specific challenges, barriers and drivers in relation to the implementatio...

Characterizing fall risk factors in Belgian older adults through machine learning: a data-driven approach.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: Falls are a major problem associated with ageing. Yet, fall-risk classification models identifying older adults at risk are lacking. Current screening tools show limited predictive validity to differentiate between a low- and high-risk of...

Modelization of Covid-19 pandemic spreading: A machine learning forecasting with relaxation scenarios of countermeasures.

Journal of infection and public health
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Mathematical modeling is the most scientific technique to understand the evolution of natural phenomena, including the spread of infectious diseases. Therefore, these modeling tools have been widely used in epidemiology for pr...

Combining citizen science and deep learning for large-scale estimation of outdoor nitrogen dioxide concentrations.

Environmental research
Reliable estimates of outdoor air pollution concentrations are needed to support global actions to improve public health. We developed a new approach to estimating annual average outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO) concentrations using approximately 20,000...

Machine learning analysis of motor evoked potential time series to predict disability progression in multiple sclerosis.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Evoked potentials (EPs) are a measure of the conductivity of the central nervous system. They are used to monitor disease progression of multiple sclerosis patients. Previous studies only extracted a few variables from the EPs, which are ...
