Machine-Learning-Based Prediction Models for AKI
2019 23 Aug
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common occurrence for critically ill patients in the ICU, and its early diagnosis has proven to be challenging. The accuracy of the online, machine-learning-based prediction model, AKIpredictor , was analysed for its use in a clinical setting. The study, which took place over five ICUs in Belgium, compared the predictions... Read more
The promise of AI in radiology
2019 30 Jan
Needless to say, radiology plays a critical role in healthcare delivery. It is rare for a patient to pass through a hospital without requiring the opinion of a radiologist somewhere along their journey – be it in triaging patients in the ER , assessing the need for treatment, or evaluating the effectiveness of treatment. Equally important is... Read more
Improving diagnosis for neurodevelopmental disorders
2018 30 Jan
A new method that uses epigenetic signatures and machine learning algorithms provides a better way to diagnose neurodevelopmental disorders with much clinical overlap, according to a new study published in The American Journal of Human Genetics. The epigenetic signatures were developed through methylation array analysis by Greenwood Genetic Center... Read more
