Machine Learning applications have brought new insights into a secondary analysis of medical data. Machine Learning helps to develop new drugs, define populations susceptible to certain illnesses, identify predictors of many common…
Mixed Reality (MR) is of increasing interest within technology-driven modern medicine but is not yet used in everyday practice. This situation is changing rapidly, however, and this paper explores the emergence of MR technology and the…
Leveraging knowledge from electronic health records (EHRs) to predict a patient's condition is essential to the effective delivery of appropriate care. Clinical notes of patient EHRs contain valuable information from healthcare…
Diagnosis of a clinical condition is a challenging task, which often requires significant medical investigation. Previous work related to diagnostic inferencing problems mostly consider multivariate observational data (e.g. physiological…
Development of new medications is a very lengthy and costly process. Finding novel indications for existing drugs, or drug repositioning, can serve as a useful strategy to shorten the development cycle. In this study, we present an approach…
This study is dedicated to exploring the application of prompt learning methods to advance Named Entity Recognition (NER) within the medical domain. In recent years, the emergence of large-scale models has driven significant progress in NER…
The challenge of recognizing named entities in a given text has been a very dynamic field in recent years. This is due to the advances in neural network architectures, increase of computing power and the availability of diverse labeled…
Recently, word embedding algorithms have been applied to map the entities of recommender systems, such as users and items, to new feature spaces using textual element-context relations among them. Unlike many other domains, this approach…
Medicine is rife with high-stakes uncertainty. Doctors routinely make clinical judgments and decisions that juggle many fundamental unknowns, like predictions about what might be causing a patients' symptoms or decisions about what…
Medication recommendation systems have gained significant attention in healthcare as a means of providing tailored and effective drug combinations based on patients' clinical information. However, existing approaches often suffer from…
Accurate recognition of biomedical named entities is critical for medical information extraction and knowledge discovery. However, existing methods often struggle with nested entities, entity boundary ambiguity, and cross-lingual…
In this work, we consider the medical concept normalization problem, i.e., the problem of mapping a disease mention in free-form text to a concept in a controlled vocabulary, usually to the standard thesaurus in the Unified Medical Language…
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…
Predicting medications is a crucial task in many intelligent healthcare systems. It can assist doctors in making informed medication decisions for patients according to electronic medical records (EMRs). However, medication prediction is a…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown transformative potential in medical applications, yet their performance is hindered by conventional data curation strategies that rely on coarse-grained partitioning by modality or…
Monitoring the administration of drugs and adverse drug reactions are key parts of pharmacovigilance. In this paper, we explore the extraction of drug mentions and drug-related information (reason for taking a drug, route, frequency,…
In November 27, 2018, Amazon Web Services (AWS) released Amazon Comprehend Medical (ACM), a deep learning based system that automatically extracts clinical concepts (which include anatomy, medical conditions, protected health information…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated dominating performance in many NLP tasks, especially on generative tasks. However, they often fall short in some information extraction tasks, particularly those requiring domain-specific…
Physicians provide expert opinion to legal courts on the medical state of patients, including determining if a patient is likely to have permanent or non-permanent injuries or ailments. An independent medical examination (IME) report…
Medication mistaking is one of the risks that can result in unpredictable consequences for patients. To mitigate this risk, we develop an automatic system that correctly identifies pill-prescription from mobile images. Specifically, we…
