Using Machine Learning to Fight Child Acute Malnutrition and Predict Weight Gain During Outpatient Treatment with a Simplified Combined Protocol.

Nutrients
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Child acute malnutrition is a global public health problem, affecting 45 million children under 5 years of age. The World Health Organization recommends monitoring weight gain weekly as an indicator of the correct treatment. Ho...

Machine learning analysis of the effects of COVID-19 on migration patterns.

Scientific reports
This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on European tourist mobility patterns from 2019 to 2021 by conceptualizing countries as monomers emitting radiation to model and analyze their patterns through the lens of socio-economics an...

Social Robots and Sensors for Enhanced Aging at Home: Mixed Methods Study With a Focus on Mobility and Socioeconomic Factors.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Population aging affects society, with a profound impact on daily activities for those of a low socioeconomic status and with motor impairments. Social assistive robots (SARs) and monitoring technologies can improve older adults' well-bei...

Configurational analysis of ovarian cancer incidence in 30 provinces of China and its policy implications: a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis approach.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer is one of the three most common gynecological cancers, with the highest mortality rate among gynecological malignancies. Previous studies on the environmental and socioeconomic (ESE) factors that affect ovarian cancer inc...

How sociodemographic factors relate to trust in artificial intelligence among students in Poland and the United Kingdom.

Scientific reports
The article aims to determine the sociodemographic factors associated with the level of trust in artificial intelligence (AI) based on cross-sectional research conducted in late 2023 and early 2024 on a sample of 2098 students in Poland (1088) and th...

Unlocking insights: Using machine learning to identify wasting and risk factors in Egyptian children under 5.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
INTRODUCTION: Malnutrition, particularly wasting, continues to be a significant public health issue among children under five years in Egypt. Despite global advancements in child health, the prevalence of wasting remains a critical concern. This stud...

Sociodemographic bias in clinical machine learning models: a scoping review of algorithmic bias instances and mechanisms.

Journal of clinical epidemiology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Clinical machine learning (ML) technologies can sometimes be biased and their use could exacerbate health disparities. The extent to which bias is present, the groups who most frequently experience bias, and the mechanism t...

Mapping Spatiotemporal Disparities in Residential Electricity Inequality Using Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
The move toward electrification is critical for decarbonizing the energy sector but may exacerbate energy unaffordability without proper safeguards. Addressing this challenge requires capturing neighborhood-scale dynamics to uncover the blind spots i...

Clinical and socioeconomic predictors of hospital use and emergency department visits among children with medical complexity: A machine learning approach using administrative data.

PloS one
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to identify clinical and socioeconomic predictors of hospital and ED use among children with medical complexity within 1 and 5 years of an initial discharge between 2010 and 2013. A secondary object...

Haves and have-nots: socioeconomic position improves accuracy of machine learning algorithms for predicting high-impact chronic pain.

Pain
Lower socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with increased risk of developing chronic pain, experiencing more severe pain, and suffering greater pain-related disability. However, SEP is a multidimensional construct; there is a dearth of research...
