A virtual standardized patient (VSP) prototype was tested for natural language understanding (NLU) performance. The conversational VSP was evaluated in a controlled 61 subject study over four repetitions of a patient case. The prototype achieved more...
Accurate knowledge of body segment inertia parameters (BSIP) improves the assessment of dynamic analysis based on biomechanical models, which is of paramount importance in fields such as sport activities or impact crash test. Early approaches for BSI...
Computational models of diarthrodial joints serve to inform the biomechanical function of these structures, and as such, must be supplied appropriate inputs for performance that is representative of actual joint function. Inputs for these models are ...
BACKGROUND: Value-based and patient-specific care represent 2 critical areas of focus that have yet to be fully reconciled by today's bundled care model. Using a predictive naïve Bayesian model, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop a mach...

Cancer is a complex collection of diseases that are to some degree unique to each patient. Precision oncology aims to identify the best drug treatment regime using molecular data on tumor samples. While omics-level data is becoming more widely availa...
The use of treatment plan characteristics to predict patient-specific quality assurance (QA) measurement results has recently been reported as a strategy to help facilitate automated pre-treatment verification workflows or to provide a virtual assess...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that causes abnormal blood glucose (BG) regulation that might result in short and long-term health complications and even death if not properly managed. Currently, there is no cure for diabet...
We propose a method for automatic segmentation of individual muscles from a clinical CT. The method uses Bayesian convolutional neural networks with the U-Net architecture, using Monte Carlo dropout that infers an uncertainty metric in addition to th...

Electro-stimulation or modulation of deep brain regions is commonly used in clinical procedures for the treatment of several nervous system disorders. In particular, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is widely used as an affordable clini...
