The aim of the study was to investigate the usefulness of processing visual field (VF) using a variational autoencoder (VAE). The training data consisted of 82,433 VFs from 16,836 eyes. Testing dataset 1 consisted of test-retest VFs from 104 eyes wit...
BACKGROUND: The Oncology Care Model (OCM) was developed as a payment model to encourage participating practices to provide better-quality care for cancer patients at a lower cost. The risk-adjustment model used in OCM is a Gamma generalized linear mo...
Blood pressure (BP) is a vital sign that provides fundamental health information regarding patients. Continuous BP monitoring is important for patients with hypertension. Various studies have proposed cuff-less BP monitoring methods using pulse trans...
Gene expression analysis plays a significant role for providing molecular insights in cancer. Various genetic and epigenetic factors (being dealt under multi-omics) affect gene expression giving rise to cancer phenotypes. A recent growth in understan...

Patient perceptions of wait time during outpatient office visits can affect patient satisfaction. Providing accurate information about wait times could improve patients' satisfaction by reducing uncertainty. However, these are rarely known about effi...
BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing enables massively parallel processing, allowing lower cost than the other sequencing technologies. In the subsequent analysis with the NGS data, one of the major concerns is the reliability of variant calls. Alt...

BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in fast and reliable assessment of abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume for risk stratification of metabolic disorders. However, imaging based measurement of VAT is costly and limited by scanner avail...
Following a stimulus, the neural response typically strongly varies in time and across neurons before settling to a steady-state. While classical population coding theory disregards the temporal dimension, recent works have argued that trajectories o...
