Tuberculosis diagnosis support analysis for precarious health information systems.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a world emergency for the World Health Organization. Techniques and new diagnosis tools are important to battle this bacterial infection. There have been many advances in all those fields, but in de...

Big Data in Public Health: Terminology, Machine Learning, and Privacy.

Annual review of public health
The digital world is generating data at a staggering and still increasing rate. While these "big data" have unlocked novel opportunities to understand public health, they hold still greater potential for research and practice. This review explores se...

Development of artificial intelligence approach to forecasting oyster norovirus outbreaks along Gulf of Mexico coast.

Environment international
This paper presents an artificial intelligence-based model, called ANN-2Day model, for forecasting, managing and ultimately eliminating the growing risk of oyster norovirus outbreaks. The ANN-2Day model was developed using Artificial Neural Network (...

Developing a dengue forecast model using machine learning: A case study in China.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
BACKGROUND: In China, dengue remains an important public health issue with expanded areas and increased incidence recently. Accurate and timely forecasts of dengue incidence in China are still lacking. We aimed to use the state-of-the-art machine lea...

Enhancing Seasonal Influenza Surveillance: Topic Analysis of Widely Used Medicinal Drugs Using Twitter Data.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Uptake of medicinal drugs (preventive or treatment) is among the approaches used to control disease outbreaks, and therefore, it is of vital importance to be aware of the counts or frequencies of most commonly used drugs and trending topi...

Lightweight predicate extraction for patient-level cancer information and ontology development.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Knowledge engineering for ontological knowledgebases is resource and time intensive. To alleviate these issues, especially for novices, automated tools from the natural language domain can assist in the development process of ontologies. ...

The effects of natural language processing on cross-institutional portability of influenza case detection for disease surveillance.

Applied clinical informatics
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the accuracy and portability of a natural language processing (NLP) tool for extracting clinical findings of influenza from clinical notes across two large healthcare systems. Effectiveness is evaluated on how well NL...

Machine-Learning Algorithms to Code Public Health Spending Accounts.

Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974)
OBJECTIVES: Government public health expenditure data sets require time- and labor-intensive manipulation to summarize results that public health policy makers can use. Our objective was to compare the performances of machine-learning algorithms with...

Ontology-based automatic identification of public health-related Turkish tweets.

Computers in biology and medicine
Social media analysis, such as the analysis of tweets, is a promising research topic for tracking public health concerns including epidemics. In this paper, we present an ontology-based approach to automatically identify public health-related Turkish...

Deep Learning for Health Informatics.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
With a massive influx of multimodality data, the role of data analytics in health informatics has grown rapidly in the last decade. This has also prompted increasing interests in the generation of analytical, data driven models based on machine learn...
