One of the significant barriers to the adoption of rehabilitation robotics into clinical care over the last 30 years has been the high investment costs of the technology. There have been limited efforts to understand the healthcare economics of imple...
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need for early risk stratification in primary prevention. Traditional Cox models assume proportional hazards and linear effects,...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the biggest causes of mortality worldwide. Risk stratification for early detection is essential for the primary prevention of CAD. QRISK3 is known to overestimate future CAD risk in some populations...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being rolled out across the UK National Health Service (NHS) to improve efficiency; yet, its carbon footprint is largely invisible within mandatory Green Plan reporting. This work shows where NHS carbon reporting omits...
Data from wearable devices collected in free-living settings, and labelled with physical activity behaviours compatible with health research, are essential for both validating existing wearable-based measurement approaches and developing novel machin...
BACKGROUND: There is still no clinical biomarker to diagnose depression. Given the complexity of a multifactorial disease like depression, a single biomarker is unlikely to capture the full heterogeneity of the disease and be applicable in clinical p...
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes affects ~10% of the world's population and is rising. Treatment costs in the UK are ~15% of the NHS budget. Diabetes-related complications can be lowered through better evidence-based clinician management and patient self-manag...
Syndromic surveillance now forms an integral part of the surveillance for a wide range of hazards in many countries. Establishing syndromic surveillance systems can be difficult due to the many different sources of data that can be used, cost pressur...
BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHRs) are a cornerstone of modern health care delivery, but their current configuration often fragments information across systems, impeding timely and effective clinical decision-making. In gynecological oncolo...
BACKGROUND: In order to seriously impact the global burden of heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease (CAD), identifying at-risk individuals as early as possible is vital. Risk calculator tools in wide clinical use today are informed by tradit...
