Predicting place of delivery choice among childbearing women in East Africa: a comparative analysis of advanced machine learning techniques.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Sub-Saharan Africa faces high neonatal and maternal mortality rates due to limited access to skilled healthcare during delivery. This study aims to improve the classification of health facilities and home deliveries using advanced machine...

The Promise of Remote Patient Monitoring.

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
The promise of remote patient monitoring (RPM) lies in its ability to revolutionize health care delivery by enabling continuous, real-time tracking of patient health outside traditional clinical settings. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoptio...

Integrating large language models in mental health practice: a qualitative descriptive study based on expert interviews.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Progress in developing artificial intelligence (AI) products represented by large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT has sparked enthusiasm for their potential use in mental health practice. However, the perspectives on the i...

Factors predicting access to medications for opioid use disorder for housed and unhoused patients: A machine learning approach.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a growing public health crisis, with opioids involved in an overwhelming majority of drug overdose deaths in the United States in recent years. While medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) effectively redu...

Health inequities, bias, and artificial intelligence.

Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology
Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain leads to significant healthcare utilization, decreased productivity, and disability globally. Due to its complex etiology, MSK pain is often chronic and challenging to manage effectively. Disparities in pain management-infl...

High-resolution mapping of essential maternal and child health service coverage in Nigeria: a machine learning approach.

BMJ open
BACKGROUND: National-level coverage estimates of maternal and child health (MCH) services mask district-level and community-level geographical inequities. The purpose of this study is to estimate grid-level coverage of essential MCH services in Niger...

Socio-demographic predictors of not having private dental insurance coverage: machine-learning algorithms may help identify the disadvantaged.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: For accessing dental care in Canada, approximately 62% of the population has employment-based insurance, 6% have some publicly funded coverage, and 32% have to pay out-of pocket. Those with no insurance or public coverage find dental care...

Using machine learning to increase access to and engagement with trauma-focused interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder.

The British journal of clinical psychology
BACKGROUND: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) poses a global public health challenge. Evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for PTSD reduce symptoms and improve functioning (Forbes et al., Guilford Press, 2020, 3). However, a number of barriers t...

Identifying definite patterns of unmet needs in patients with multiple sclerosis using unsupervised machine learning.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
INTRODUCTION: People with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) exhibit a spectrum of needs that extend beyond solely disease-related determinants. Investigating unmet needs from the patient perspective may address daily difficulties and optimize care. Our aim w...
