Comparing performance of primary care clinicians in the interpretation of SPIROmetry with or without Artificial Intelligence Decision support software (SPIRO-AID): a protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Spirometry is a point-of-care lung function test that helps support the diagnosis and monitoring of chronic lung disease. The quality and interpretation accuracy of spirometry is variable in primary care. This study aims to evaluate whe...

A machine learning tool for identifying patients with newly diagnosed diabetes in primary care.

Primary care diabetes
BACKGROUND AND AIM: It is crucial to identify a diabetes diagnosis early. Create a predictive model utilizing machine learning (ML) to identify new cases of diabetes in primary health care (PHC).

Identifying patients with undiagnosed small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours in primary care using statistical and machine learning: model development and validation study.

British journal of cancer
BACKGROUND: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are increasing in incidence, often diagnosed at advanced stages, and individuals may experience years of diagnostic delay, particularly when arising from the small intestine (SI). Clinical prediction models c...

Application and Prospects of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Early Screening of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease at Primary Healthcare Institutions in China.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), as one of the major global health threat diseases, particularly in China, presents a high prevalence and mortality rate. Early diagnosis is crucial for controlling disease progression and improving patien...

Model-Informed Precision Dosing Using Machine Learning for Levothyroxine in General Practice: Development, Validation and Clinical Simulation Trial.

Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics
Levothyroxine is one of the most prescribed drugs in the western world. Dosing is challenging due to high-interindividual differences in effective dosage and the narrow therapeutic window. Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) using machine learning...

Emergency department risk model: timely identification of patients for outpatient care coordination.

The American journal of managed care
OBJECTIVE: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is linked to a 61% increased risk of emergency department (ED) visits and frequent ED usage. Collaborative care management (CoCM) models target MDD treatment in primary care, but how best to prioritize patie...

Diagnosing glaucoma in primary eye care and the role of Artificial Intelligence applications for reducing the prevalence of undetected glaucoma in Australia.

Eye (London, England)
Glaucoma is the commonest cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with over 70% of people affected remaining undiagnosed. Early detection is crucial for halting progressive visual impairment in glaucoma patients, as there is no cure available. Thi...

Implications of conscious AI in primary healthcare.

Family medicine and community health
The conversation about consciousness of artificial intelligence (AI) is an ongoing topic since 1950s. Despite the numerous applications of AI identified in healthcare and primary healthcare, little is known about how a conscious AI would reshape its ...

Real-world testing of an artificial intelligence algorithm for the analysis of chest X-rays in primary care settings.

Scientific reports
Interpreting chest X-rays is a complex task, and artificial intelligence algorithms for this purpose are currently being developed. It is important to perform external validations of these algorithms in order to implement them. This study therefore a...
