Predicting patient risk of leaving without being seen using machine learning: a retrospective study in a single overcrowded emergency department.

BMC emergency medicine
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding has become a critical issue in hospital management, leading to increased patient wait times and higher rates of individuals leaving without being seen (LWBS). This study aims to identify key factors influencing ...

Towards real-world monitoring scenarios: An improved point prediction method for crowd counting based on contrastive learning.

PloS one
In open environments, complex and variable backgrounds and dense multi-scale targets are two key challenges for crowd counting. Due to the reliance on supervised learning with labeled data, current methods struggle to adapt to crowd detection in comp...

Predicting emergency department admissions using a machine-learning algorithm: a proof of concept with retrospective study.

BMC emergency medicine
INTRODUCTION: Overcrowding in emergency departments (ED) is a major public health issue, leading to increased workload and exhaustion for the teams, resulting poor outcomes. It seems interesting to be able to predict the admissions of patients in the...

Enhanced forecasting of emergency department patient arrivals using feature engineering approach and machine learning.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is an important problem in many countries. Accurate predictions of ED patient arrivals can help management to better allocate staff and medical resources. In this study, we investigate the use of cal...

Optimized deep maxout for crowd anomaly detection: A hybrid optimization-based model.

Network (Bristol, England)
Monitoring Surveillance video is really time-consuming, and the complexity of typical crowd behaviour in crowded situations makes this even more challenging. This has sparked a curiosity about computer vision-based anomaly detection. This study intro...

Managing low-acuity patients in an Emergency Department through simulation-based multiobjective optimization using a neural network metamodel.

Health care management science
This paper deals with Emergency Department (ED) fast-tracks for low-acuity patients, a strategy often adopted to reduce ED overcrowding. We focus on optimizing resource allocation in minor injuries units, which are theĀ ED units that can treat low-acu...

A study on deep learning model based on global-local structure for crowd flow prediction.

Scientific reports
Crowd flow prediction has been studied for a variety of purposes, ranging from the private sector such as location selection of stores according to the characteristics of commercial districts and customer-tailored marketing to the public sector for s...

Modular hierarchical reinforcement learning for multi-destination navigation in hybrid crowds.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Real-world robot applications usually require navigating agents to face multiple destinations. Besides, the real-world crowded environments usually contain dynamic and static crowds that implicitly interact with each other during navigation. To addre...

Context-Aware Multi-Scale Aggregation Network for Congested Crowd Counting.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, we propose a context-aware multi-scale aggregation network named CMSNet for dense crowd counting, which effectively uses contextual information and multi-scale information to conduct crowd density estimation. To achieve this, a context...
