OBJECTIVE: To describe the experiences of clinicians who have used robotic exoskeletons in their practice and acquire information that can guide clinical decisions and training strategies related to robotic exoskeletons.
Advanced regression and machine learning models can provide personalized risk predictions to support clinical decision-making. We aimed to understand whether modeling methods impact the tendency of calibration to deteriorate as patient populations sh...
OBJECTIVE: Assessment of medical trainee learning through pre-defined competencies is now commonplace in schools of medicine. We describe a novel electronic advisor system using natural language processing (NLP) to identify two geriatric medicine com...
OBJECTIVE: Many healthcare systems employ population-based risk scores to prospectively identify patients at high risk of poor outcomes, but it is unclear whether single point-in-time scores adequately represent future risk. We sought to identify and...
