Identify and monitor clinical variation using machine intelligence: a pilot in colorectal surgery.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Standardized clinical pathways are useful tool to reduce variation in clinical management and may improve quality of care. However the evidence supporting a specific clinical pathway for a patient or patient population is often imperfect limiting ado...

Improved perfusion pattern score association with type 2 diabetes severity using machine learning pipeline: Pilot study.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with alterations in the blood-brain barrier, neuronal damage, and arterial stiffness, thus affecting cerebral metabolism and perfusion. There is a need to implement machine-learning methodolog...

An Orthopaedic Robotic-Assisted Rehabilitation Method of the Forearm in Virtual Reality Physiotherapy.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The use of robotic rehabilitation in orthopaedics has been briefly explored. Despite its possible advantages, the use of computer-assisted physiotherapy of patients with musculoskeletal injuries has received little attention. In this paper, we detail...

Crowdsourcing image analysis for plant phenomics to generate ground truth data for machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
The accuracy of machine learning tasks critically depends on high quality ground truth data. Therefore, in many cases, producing good ground truth data typically involves trained professionals; however, this can be costly in time, effort, and money. ...

Improving well-being in patients with major neurodegenerative disorders: differential efficacy of brief social robot-based intervention for 3 neuropsychiatric profiles.

Clinical interventions in aging
BACKGROUND: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) affect patients' daily life and subjective well-being. International recommendations stress nonpharmacological interventions as first-line treatment. While newer psychosocial initia...

Estimating the Temperature of Heat-exposed Bone via Machine Learning Analysis of SCI Color Values: A Pilot Study.

Journal of forensic sciences
Determining maximum heating temperatures of burnt bones is a long-standing problem in forensic science and archaeology. In this pilot study, controlled experiments were used to heat 14 fleshed and defleshed pig vertebrae (wet bones) and archaeologica...

Using the MEDiPORT humanoid robot to reduce procedural pain and distress in children with cancer: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

Pediatric blood & cancer
BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous port needle insertions are painful and distressing for children with cancer. The interactive MEDiPORT robot has been programmed to implement psychological strategies to decrease pain and distress during this procedure. This s...

Chronic obstructive lung disease "expert system": validation of a predictive tool for assisting diagnosis.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were development and validation of an expert system (ES) aimed at supporting the diagnosis of chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD).
