AI Surveillance during Pandemics: Ethical Implementation Imperatives.

The Hastings Center report
Artificial intelligence surveillance can be used to diagnose individual cases, track the spread of Covid-19, and help provide care. The use of AI for surveillance purposes (such as detecting new Covid-19 cases and gathering data from healthy and ill ...

Prediction of Polyp Pathology Using Convolutional Neural Networks Achieves "Resect and Discard" Thresholds.

The American journal of gastroenterology
OBJECTIVES: Reliable in situ diagnosis of diminutive (≤5 mm) colorectal polyps could allow for "resect and discard" and "diagnose and leave" strategies, resulting in $1 billion cost savings per year in the United States alone. Current methodologies h...

Development of a global infectious disease activity database using natural language processing, machine learning, and human expertise.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether machine learning can be utilized to allow efficient extraction of infectious disease activity information from online media reports.

Assessing Mosquito Breeding Sites and Abundance Using An Unmanned Aircraft.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association
An unmanned aircraft system (UAS; i.e., drone) with an attached multispectral camera was used to quantify accumulated surface water on a 0.54-km tidal marsh that abuts San Francisco Bay, CA, USA. The results of the survey showed unequal accumulation ...

An Observational Study of Deep Learning and Automated Evaluation of Cervical Images for Cancer Screening.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus vaccination and cervical screening are lacking in most lower resource settings, where approximately 80% of more than 500 000 cancer cases occur annually. Visual inspection of the cervix following acetic acid applicati...

Validity of Natural Language Processing for Ascertainment of and Test Results in SEER Cases of Stage IV Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

JCO clinical cancer informatics
PURPOSE: SEER registries do not report results of epidermal growth factor receptor () and anaplastic lymphoma kinase () mutation tests. To facilitate population-based research in molecularly defined subgroups of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we...

Real-time Epidemic Forecasting: Challenges and Opportunities.

Health security
Infectious disease outbreaks play an important role in global morbidity and mortality. Real-time epidemic forecasting provides an opportunity to predict geographic disease spread as well as case counts to better inform public health interventions whe...

Unhealthy Behaviors, Prevention Measures, and Neighborhood Cardiovascular Health: A Machine Learning Approach.

Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP
This study identifies and ranks predictors of cardiovascular health at the neighborhood level in the United States. We merged the 500 Cities Data and the 2011-2015 American Community Survey to create a new data set that includes sociodemographic char...

Visualization of Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Co-Occurrence With Network Methods.

JCO clinical cancer informatics
PURPOSE: Cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are common causes of morbidity and mortality, and measurement and interpretation of their co-occurrence rate have important implications for public health and patient care. Here, we present the raw and...
