Machine learning-based prediction of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Uganda.

BMC infectious diseases
BACKGROUND: Efforts toward tuberculosis management and control are challenged by the emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistance to existing anti-TB drugs. This study aimed to explore the potential of machine learning algorithms in predi...

Deep Learning to Predict Traumatic Brain Injury Outcomes in the Low-Resource Setting.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In these settings, accurate patient prognostication is both difficult and essential for high-quality patient care. With the ultimate goal of ...

Predicting the Individual Treatment Effect of Neurosurgery for Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury in the Low-Resource Setting: A Machine Learning Approach in Uganda.

Journal of neurotrauma
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In these low-resource settings, effective triage of patients with TBI-including the decision of whether or not to perform neurosurgery-is critical in op...

Constrained binary classification using ensemble learning: an application to cost-efficient targeted PrEP strategies.

Statistics in medicine
Binary classification problems are ubiquitous in health and social sciences. In many cases, one wishes to balance two competing optimality considerations for a binary classifier. For instance, in resource-limited settings, an human immunodeficiency v...

Artificial intelligence and employee performance in Uganda's healthcare institutions: exploring the mediation effects of perceived ease of use and skills enhancement.

Journal of health organization and management
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and employee performance in Uganda's healthcare institutions, with a specific focus on exploring the mediating effects of perceived ease of use...

Regulation of artificial intelligence in Uganda's healthcare: exploring an appropriate regulatory approach and framework to deliver universal health coverage.

International journal for equity in health
BACKGROUND: Uganda, like other United Nations (UN) member states, has undertaken to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030 in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 targets. However, if this target is to be achieved, efforts will nee...

Using artificial intelligence on dermatology conditions in Uganda: a case for diversity in training data sets for machine learning.

African health sciences
BACKGROUND: In pursuit of applying universal non-biased Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, it is essential that data from different geographies are represented.

Super learner analysis of real-time electronically monitored adherence to antiretroviral therapy under constrained optimization and comparison to non-differentiated care approaches for persons living with HIV in rural Uganda.

Journal of the International AIDS Society
INTRODUCTION: Real-time electronic adherence monitoring (EAM) systems could inform on-going risk assessment for HIV viraemia and be used to personalize viral load testing schedules. We evaluated the potential of real-time EAM (transferred via cellula...

Detection of tuberculosis patterns in digital photographs of chest X-ray images using Deep Learning: feasibility study.

The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of Deep Learning-based detection and classification of pathological patterns in a set of digital photographs of chest X-ray (CXR) images of tuberculosis (TB) patients.

Combining satellite imagery and machine learning to predict poverty.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Reliable data on economic livelihoods remain scarce in the developing world, hampering efforts to study these outcomes and to design policies that improve them. Here we demonstrate an accurate, inexpensive, and scalable method for estimating consumpt...
