In today's world, healthcare is the most important factor affecting human life. Due to heavy work load it is not possible for personal healthcare. The proposed system acts as a preventive measure for determining whether a person is fit or…
This paper studies the use of highly stratified designs for the efficient estimation of a large class of treatment effect parameters that arise in the analysis of experiments. By a "highly stratified" design, we mean experiments in which…
Calibration in recommender systems is an important performance criterion that ensures consistency between the distribution of user preference categories and that of recommendations generated by the system. Standard methods for mitigating…
Dynamic facility location problems aim at placing one or more valuable resources over a planning horizon to meet customer demand. Existing literature commonly assumes that customer demand quantities are defined independently for each time…
The recently introduced online Minimum Peak Appointment Scheduling (MPAS) problem is a variant of the online bin-packing problem that allows for deferred decision making. Specifically, it allows for the problem to be split into an online…
Medicine is moving from a curative discipline to a preventative discipline relying on personalised and precise treatment plans. The complex and multi level pathophysiological patterns of most diseases require a systemic medicine approach…
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) play a crucial role in transportation and service tasks at hospitals, contributing to enhanced efficiency and meeting medical demands. This paper investigates the optimization problem of scheduling strategies…
The paper investigates the escalating concerns surrounding the surge in diabetes cases, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent strain on medical resources. The research aims to construct a predictive model quantifying…
Objective: A patient medical insurance coverage plays an essential role in determining the post-acute care (PAC) discharge disposition. The prior health insurance authorization process postpones the PAC discharge disposition, increases the…
Session-based recommendation aims to generate recommendations for the next item of users' interest based on a given session. In this manuscript, we develop prospective preference enhanced mixed attentive model (P2MAM) to generate…
This paper aims to address the integrated routing and appointment scheduling (RAS) problem for a single service provider. The RAS problem is an operational challenge faced by operators that provide services requiring home attendance, such…
Due to the wider availability of modern electronic health records, patient care data is often being stored in the form of time-series. Clustering such time-series data is crucial for patient phenotyping, anticipating patients' prognoses by…
We develop a conservative continuous-time stochastic control framework for treatment optimization from irregularly sampled patient trajectories. The unknown patient dynamics are modeled as a controlled stochastic differential equation with…
The recent increase in morbidity is primarily due to chronic diseases including Diabetes, Heart disease, Lung cancer, and brain tumours. The results for patients can be improved, and the financial burden on the healthcare system can be…
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is critical in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), where diagnostic uncertainty often drives broad-spectrum antibiotic use, increasing antimicrobial resistance and potential long-term harms. Machine…
The automatic, sensor-based assessment of challenging behavior of persons with dementia is an important task to support the selection of interventions. However, predicting behaviors like apathy and agitation is challenging due to the large…
Sustained treatment strategies are common in many domains, particularly in medicine, where many treatment are delivered repeatedly over time. The effects of adherence to a treatment strategy throughout follow-up are often more relevant to…
We address the personalized policy learning problem using longitudinal mobile health application usage data. Personalized policy represents a paradigm shift from developing a single policy that may prescribe personalized decisions by…
We consider real-time timely tracking of infection status (e.g., covid-19) of individuals in a population. In this work, a health care provider wants to detect infected people as well as people who have recovered from the disease as quickly…
This paper develops a data-driven, constraint-based optimization framework for a complex industrial job shop scheduling problem variant in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The formulation captures fixed routings and designated machines,…
