Needs Assessment Survey Identifying Research Processes Which may be Improved by Automation or Artificial Intelligence: ICU Community Modeling and Artificial Intelligence to Improve Efficiency (ICU-Comma).

Journal of intensive care medicine
BACKGROUND: Critical care research in Canada is conducted primarily in academically-affiliated intensive care units with established research infrastructure, including research coordinators (RCs). Recently, efforts have been made to engage community ...

The views of physicians and nurses on the potentials of an electronic assessment system for recognizing the needs of patients in palliative care.

BMC palliative care
OBJECTIVES: Patients in oncological and palliative care (PC) often have complex needs, which require a comprehensive treatment approach. The assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) has been shown to improve identification of patient needs and ...

A validation of machine learning-based risk scores in the prehospital setting.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The triage of patients in prehospital care is a difficult task, and improved risk assessment tools are needed both at the dispatch center and on the ambulance to differentiate between low- and high-risk patients. This study validates a ma...

Predictors of adherence to nicotine replacement therapy: Machine learning evidence that perceived need predicts medication use.

Drug and alcohol dependence
BACKGROUND: Nonadherence to smoking cessation medication is a frequent problem. Identifying pre-quit predictors of nonadherence may help explain nonadherence and suggest tailored interventions to address it.

Developing assistive robots for people with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia: a qualitative study with older adults and experts in aged care.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: This research is part of an international project to design and test a home-based healthcare robot to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early dementia. The aim was to investigate the perceived usefulness of differe...

Artificial intelligence and breast screening: French Radiology Community position paper.

Diagnostic and interventional imaging
The objective of this article was to evaluate the evidence currently available about the clinical value of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast imaging. Nine experts from the disciplines involved in breast disease management - including physicists ...

Assistive robots to improve the independent living of older persons: results from a needs study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
BACKGROUND: More than 70% of elderly people age 80 and older are experiencing problems in personal mobility. Assistive robotics can represent a concrete support providing also a support for caregivers, clinicians and nurses by reducing their burden.

Handheld laparoscopic robotized instrument: progress or challenge?

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Handheld laparoscopic robotized instruments have been developed to combine the advantages of a robotic operation system and conventional laparoscopic instruments. Direct objective standards are needed to quantify surgeons' skill level and...
