The mining of adverse drug events (ADEs) is pivotal in pharmacovigilance, enhancing patient safety by identifying potential risks associated with medications, facilitating early detection of adverse events, and guiding regulatory…
Medication nonadherence significantly reduces the effectiveness of therapies, yet it remains prevalent among patients. Nonadherence has been linked to adverse outcomes, including increased risks of mortality and hospitalization. Although…
The increased adoption of Electronic Health Records(EHRs) has brought changes to the way the patient care is carried out. The rich heterogeneous and temporal data space stored in EHRs can be leveraged by machine learning models to capture…
Extracting meaningful drug-related information chunks, such as adverse drug events (ADE), is crucial for preventing morbidity and saving many lives. Most ADEs are reported via an unstructured conversation with the medical context, so…
Medication errors and adverse drug events (ADEs) pose significant risks to patient safety, often arising from difficulties in reliably identifying pharmaceuticals in real-world settings. AI-based pill recognition models offer a promising…
Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a major safety issue in clinical trials. Thus, predicting ADEs is key to developing safer medications and enhancing patient outcomes. To support this effort, we introduce CT-ADE, a dataset for multilabel ADE…
Clinical trials are the basis of Evidence-Based Medicine. Trial results are reviewed by experts and consensus panels for producing meta-analyses and clinical practice guidelines. However, reviewing these results is a long and tedious task,…
Despite extensive safety assessments of drugs prior to their introduction to the market, certain adverse drug reactions (ADRs) remain undetected. The primary objective of pharmacovigilance is to identify these ADRs (i.e., signals). In…
Managing health-care records and information is an imperative necessity. Most patient health records are stored in separate systems and there are still huge paper trails of records that health-care providers must keep to comply with…
Evidence suggests that medication adherence applications (apps) are one of the most effective methods to remind patients to take medication on time. Reminders via apps are overwhelming today, consumers discard using them after a brief…
Post-market medical device surveillance is a challenge facing manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and health care providers. Electronic health records are valuable sources of real world evidence to assess device safety and track…
Mental healthcare is one of the prominent parts of the healthcare industry with alarming concerns related to patients depression, stress leading to self-harm and threat to fellow patients and medical staff. To provide a therapeutic…
We present a graphical, knowledge-based method for reviewing treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) in clinical trials. The approach enhances MedDRA by adding a hidden medical knowledge layer (Safeterm) that captures semantic relationships…
Falls have serious consequences and are prevalent in acute hospitals and nursing homes caring for older people. Most falls occur in bedrooms and near the bed. Technological interventions to mitigate the risk of falling aim to automatically…
Electronic health records (EHRs) contain patients' heterogeneous data that are collected from medical providers involved in the patient's care, including medical notes, clinical events, laboratory test results, symptoms, and diagnoses. In…
Poor medication adherence presents serious economic and health problems including compromised treatment effectiveness, medical complications, and loss of billions of dollars in wasted medicine or procedures. Though various interventions…
Electronic health record (EHR) data are becoming an increasingly common data source for understanding clinical risk of acute events. While their longitudinal nature presents opportunities to observe changing risk over time, these analyses…
The use of tiny devices capable of low-latency gesture recognition is gaining momentum in everyday human-computer interaction and especially in medical monitoring fields. Embedded solutions such as fall detection, rehabilitation tracking,…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, with 2% of the population affected. It is associated with an increased risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Monitoring at-risk…
For many decades High Energy Physics (HEP) instrumentation has been concentrated on detectors of ionizing radiation -- where the energy of incident particles or photons is sufficient to create mobile charge in gas, liquid, or solid…
