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...

Improving Access to Eye Care Through Community Health Screenings Using Artificial Intelligence.

Ophthalmic epidemiology
PURPOSE: To the best of our knowledge, implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based vision screening in community health fair settings has not been previously studied. This prospective cohort study explored the incorporation of AI in a commun...
