ObjectiveThis study examined the use of machine learning (ML) and domain-specific enrichment in patient-generated health data, in the form of free-text meal logs, to classify meals on alignment with different nutritional goals.Materials and…
ObjectivesArtificial intelligence (AI) models utilizing electronic health record data for disease prediction can enhance risk stratification but may lack specificity, which is crucial for reducing the economic and psychological burdens asso…
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and challenges of mapping between SNOMED CT and the ICD-11 Foundation in both directions, SNOMED International and the World Health Organization conducted a pilot mapping project between September 2021 an…
ObjectivesChart review as the current gold standard for phenotype evaluation cannot support observational research on electronic health records and claims data sources at scale. We aimed to evaluate the ability of structured data to support…
ObjectiveA participant's medical history is important in clinical research and can be captured from electronic health records (EHRs) and self-reported surveys. Both can be incomplete, EHR due to documentation gaps or lack of interoperabilit…
ObjectiveThe study sought to build predictive models of next menstrual cycle start date based on mobile health self-tracked cycle data. Because app users may skip tracking, disentangling physiological patterns of menstruation from tracking …
ObjectiveTo elicit novel ideas for informatics solutions to support individuals through the menopausal transition. (Note: We use "individuals experiencing menopause" and "experiences" rather than "symptoms" when possible to counter typical …
ObjectiveMost healthcare providers are reluctant to use health apps for healthcare because there is no rigorous way of choosing the best app for their patient or consumer. Accordingly, we developed a new method of app selection that fully c…
ObjectiveCytokines play a central role in both health and disease, modulating immune responses and acting as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. This work takes a systems-level approach for integration and examination of immune patt…
ObjectiveWe describe experiments designed to determine the feasibility of distinguishing known from novel associations based on a clinical dataset comprised of International Classification of Disease, V.9 (ICD-9) codes from 1.6 million pati…
ObjectiveA method for the automatic resolution of coreference between medical concepts in clinical records.Materials and methodsA multiple pass sieve approach utilizing support vector machines (SVMs) at each pass was used to resolve corefer…
The authors report on the development of the Cancer Tissue Information Extraction System (caTIES)--an application that supports collaborative tissue banking and text mining by leveraging existing natural language processing methods and algo…
