Historically, personalised medicine has been synonymous with pharmacogenomics and oncology. We argue for a new framework for personalised medicine analytics that capitalises on more detailed patient-level data and leverages recent advances in causal ...
BACKGROUND: The large amount of clinical signals in intensive care units can easily overwhelm health-care personnel and can lead to treatment delays, suboptimal care, or clinical errors. The aim of this study was to apply deep machine learning method...
INTRODUCTION: Sepsis is associated to a high mortality rate, and its severity must be evaluated quickly. The severity of illness scores used are intended to be applicable to all patient populations, and generally evaluate in-hospital mortality. Howev...

OBJECTIVE: There is a growing interest in using natural language processing (NLP) for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) monitoring. A French project consortium, SYNODOS, developed a NLP solution for detecting medical events in electronic medica...
Sequences of events have often been modeled with computational techniques, but typical preprocessing steps and problem settings do not explicitly address the ramifications of timestamped events. Clinical data, such as is found in electronic health re...
Deep learning models (aka Deep Neural Networks) have revolutionized many fields including computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition, and is being increasingly used in clinical healthcare applications. However, few works exist w...
