The combination of big data and deep learning is a world-shattering technology that can greatly impact any objective if used properly. With the availability of a large volume of health care datasets and progressions in deep learning techniques, systems are now well equipped to predict the future trend of any health problems. From the literature survey, we found the SVM was used to predict the heart failure rate without relating objective factors. Utilizing the intensity of important historical information in electronic health records (EHR), we have built a smart and predictive model utilizing long short-term memory (LSTM) and predict the future trend of heart failure based on that health record. Hence the fundamental commitment of this work is to predict the failure of the heart using an LSTM based on the patient's electronic medicinal information. We have analyzed a dataset containing the medical records of 299 heart failure patients collected at the Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology and the Allied Hospital in Faisalabad (Punjab, Pakistan). The patients consisted of 105 women and 194 men and their ages ranged from 40 and 95 years old. The dataset contains 13 features, which report clinical, body, and lifestyle information responsible for heart failure. We have found an increasing trend in our analysis which will contribute to advancing the knowledge in the field of heart stroke prediction.


The Fight Against Health Misinformation Could Backfire Spectacularly

Slate

Soon after Roe v. Wade was overturned, a neonatal nurse took to a local Ohio newspaper to share how strongly she agreed with the Supreme Court's opinion. Instead of explicitly expressing religious views or personal beliefs, she shared that in her "professional experience" the 1973 cementing of national abortion rights "led to the utter demise of respect for humanity at any lifestage and has, singlehandedly, led to a demise in our societal culture and ethical values." She noted that 99 percent of people seeking abortions are doing so "as a birth control method." The newspaper piece is a startling artifact of the anti-choice movement. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is firm in its own stance: "Abortion is an essential component of comprehensive, evidence-based health care."


Planning Courses for Student Success at the American College of Greece

We model the problem of optimizing the schedule of courses a student at the American College of Greece will need to take to complete their studies. We model all constraints set forth by the institution and the department, so that we guarantee the validity of all produced schedules. We formulate several different objectives to optimize in the resulting schedule, including fastest completion time, course difficulty balance, and so on, with a very important objective our model is capable of capturing being the maximization of the expected student GPA given their performance on passed courses using Machine Learning and Data Mining techniques. All resulting problems are Mixed Integer Linear Programming problems with a number of binary variables that is in the order of the maximum number of terms times the number of courses available for the student to take. The resulting Mathematical Programming problem is always solvable by the GUROBI solver in less than 10 seconds on a modern commercial off-the-self PC, whereas the manual process that was installed before used to take department heads that are designated as student advisors more than one hour of their time for every student and was resulting in sub-optimal schedules as measured by the objectives set forth.


After the buzz, AI finding its place in health care

#artificialintelligence

READY FOR ITS CLOSE-UP: Artificial intelligence has long been hyped as a game changer in health care: Remember this 2012 prediction that computers will replace 80 percent of doctors? But it's been much harder to get a sense of the real-world scale of the phenomenon. Is AI a perpetual technology of the future? Or is it starting to get a toehold? A recently released Food and Drug Administration database starts to get at that question.


New Partnership to Advance Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology

#artificialintelligence

SAN FRANCISCO--July 28, 2021-- The American College of Radiology Data Science Institute (ACR DSI) and the American Academy of Ophthalmology today announced a collaboration that will expand ACR DSI's groundbreaking AI-LAB platform to include eye care. Leveraging use cases and data from the Academy, this collaboration will accelerate the use of machine learning in the ophthalmic industry to the benefit of patients across the globe. "We've now made it easier for the ophthalmology community to access real world examples for our own use cases. By working together with ACR, we are leveraging a platform developed for the radiology community to educate our own community about AI development and encouraging new AI to be developed that will benefit our specialty," said Tamara R. Fountain, MD, president of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The Academy will provide the ophthalmology content and the ACR will provide the IT infrastructure to integrate the use cases and datasets into the landmark AI-LAB.


AI has a long way to go before doctors can trust it with your life

Geoffrey Hinton is a legendary computer scientist. When Hinton, Yann LeCun, and Yoshua Bengio were given the 2018 Turing Award, considered the Nobel prize of computing, they were described as the "Godfathers of artificial intelligence" and the "Godfathers of Deep Learning." Naturally, people paid attention when Hinton declared in 2016, "We should stop training radiologists now, it's just completely obvious within five years deep learning is going to do better than radiologists." The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first AI algorithm for medical imaging that year and there are now more than 80 approved algorithms in the US and a similar number in Europe. Yet, the number of radiologists working in the US has gone up, not down, increasing by about 7% between 2015 and 2019.


Yale Study Shows Limitations of Applying Artificial Intelligence to Registry Databases

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence will play a pivotal role in the future of health care, medical experts say, but so far, the industry has been unable to fully leverage this tool. A Yale study has illuminated the limitations of these analytics when applied to traditional medical databases -- suggesting that the key to unlocking their value may be in the way datasets are prepared. Machine learning techniques are well-suited for processing complex, high-dimensional data or identifying nonlinear patterns, which provide researchers and clinicians with a framework to generate new insights. But the study suggests that achieving the potential of artificial intelligence will require improving the data quality of electronic health records (EHR). "Our study found that advanced methods that have revolutionized predictions outside healthcare did not meaningfully improve prediction of mortality in a large national registry. These registries that rely on manually abstracted data within a restricted number of fields may, therefore, not be capturing many patient features that have implications for their outcomes," said Rohan Khera, MD, MS, the first author of the new study published in JAMA Cardiology.

New artificial intelligence models show potential for predicting outcomes – IAM Network

New applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care settings have shown early success in improving survival and outcomes in traffic accident victims transported by ambulance and in predicting survival after liver transplantation, according to two research studies presented at the virtual American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress 2020. Both studies evaluated how AI can crunch massive amounts of data to support decision-making by surgeons and other care providers at the point of care. In one study, researchers at the University of Minnesota applied a previously published AI approach known as natural language processing (NLP) to categorize treatment needs and medical interventions for 22,529 motor vehicle crash patients that emergency medical service (EMS) personnel transported to ACS-verified Level I trauma centers in Minnesota. According to a 2016 study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 20 percent of medical injury deaths are potentially preventable representing a quality gap the researchers sought to address. Reviewing the performance of EMS teams to profile potentially preventable deaths can enable quality improvement efforts to reduce these deaths.
