A remote management system for control and surveillance of echinococcosis: design and implementation based on internet of things.

Infectious diseases of poverty
BACKGROUND: As a neglected cross-species parasitic disease transmitted between canines and livestock, echinococcosis remains a global public health concern with a heavy disease burden. In China, especially in the epidemic pastoral communities on the ...

CT-Based COVID-19 triage: Deep multitask learning improves joint identification and severity quantification.

Medical image analysis
The current COVID-19 pandemic overloads healthcare systems, including radiology departments. Though several deep learning approaches were developed to assist in CT analysis, nobody considered study triage directly as a computer science problem. We de...

Machine learning methods to predict mechanical ventilation and mortality in patients with COVID-19.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected millions of people across the globe. It is associated with a high mortality rate and has created a global crisis by straining medical resources worldwide.

Social Telepresence Robots: A Narrative Review of Experiments Involving Older Adults before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Social isolation is a common phenomenon among the elderly. Retirement, widowhood, and increased prevalence of chronic diseases in this age group lead to a decline in social relationships, which in turn has adverse consequences on health and well-bein...

An automated COVID-19 detection based on fused dynamic exemplar pyramid feature extraction and hybrid feature selection using deep learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
The new coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 is currently a pandemic that is spread out the whole world. Several methods have been presented to detect COVID-19 disease. Computer vision methods have been widely utilized to detect COVID-19 by using ch...

ConceptWAS: A high-throughput method for early identification of COVID-19 presenting symptoms and characteristics from clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Identifying symptoms and characteristics highly specific to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) would improve the clinical and public health response to this pandemic challenge. Here, we describe a high-throughput approach - Concept-Wide A...

Artificial Intelligence-Aided Precision Medicine for COVID-19: Strategic Areas of Research and Development.

Journal of medical Internet research
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can play a key role in preventing, detecting, and monitoring epidemics. In this paper, we provide an overview of the recently published literature on the COVID-19 pandemic in four strategic areas: (1) triage,...

AI support for ethical decision-making around resuscitation: proceed with care.

Journal of medical ethics
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being used in healthcare, thanks to the high level of performance that these systems have proven to deliver. So far, clinical applications have focused on diagnosis and on prediction of outcomes. ...

Explainable automated coding of clinical notes using hierarchical label-wise attention networks and label embedding initialisation.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic or procedural coding of clinical notes aims to derive a coded summary of disease-related information about patients. Such coding is usually done manually in hospitals but could potentially be automated to improve the efficiency...
