Ensemble machine learning of factors influencing COVID-19 across US counties.

Scientific reports
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) the causal agent for COVID-19, is a communicable disease spread through close contact. It is known to disproportionately impact certain communities due to both biological susceptibility and...

The Need for Ethnoracial Equity in Artificial Intelligence for Diabetes Management: Review and Recommendations.

Journal of medical Internet research
There is clear evidence to suggest that diabetes does not affect all populations equally. Among adults living with diabetes, those from ethnoracial minority communities-foreign-born, immigrant, refugee, and culturally marginalized-are at increased ri...

The Emerging Hazard of AI-Related Health Care Discrimination.

The Hastings Center report
Artificial intelligence holds great promise for improved health-care outcomes. But it also poses substantial new hazards, including algorithmic discrimination. For example, an algorithm used to identify candidates for beneficial "high risk care manag...

A Novel Use of Artificial Intelligence to Examine Diversity and Hospital Performance.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The US population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Research suggests that cultural diversity within organizations can increase team potency and performance, yet this theory has not been explored in the field of surgery. F...

Word embeddings quantify 100 years of gender and ethnic stereotypes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Word embeddings are a powerful machine-learning framework that represents each English word by a vector. The geometric relationship between these vectors captures meaningful semantic relationships between the corresponding words. In this paper, we de...

The Impact of Oversampling with SMOTE on the Performance of 3 Classifiers in Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes.

Medical decision making : an international journal of the Society for Medical Decision Making
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) on the performance of probabilistic neural network (PNN), naïve Bayes (NB), and decision tree (DT) classifiers for predicting diabetes in a prospective cohort ...

Screening of Glaucoma in High-Risk Minority Populations.

Journal of glaucoma
PRECIS: This chapter reviews the current recommendations on screening for open angle glaucoma in Black and Hispanic populations. Strategies for increasing case-finding and decreasing cost, with emphasis on evolving technologies, are presented.

Increasing the ethnic diversity of senior leadership within the English National Health Service: using an artificial intelligence approach to evaluate inclusive recruitment strategies in hospital settings.

Human resources for health
BACKGROUND: The English National Health Service (NHS) strives for a fair, diverse, and inclusive workplace, but Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) representation in senior leadership roles remains limited. To address this, a large multi-hospital acute N...

Machine Learning Strategies for Improved Phenotype Prediction in Underrepresented Populations.

Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing
Precision medicine models often perform better for populations of European ancestry due to the over-representation of this group in the genomic datasets and large-scale biobanks from which the models are constructed. As a result, prediction models ma...

Bias at warp speed: how AI may contribute to the disparities gap in the time of COVID-19.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
The COVID-19 pandemic is presenting a disproportionate impact on minorities in terms of infection rate, hospitalizations, and mortality. Many believe artificial intelligence (AI) is a solution to guide clinical decision-making for this novel disease,...
