Depression places substantial pressure on mental health services, and many people describe their experiences outside clinical settings in high-volume user-generated text (e.g., online forums and social media). Automatically identifying…
In healthcare, the emphasis on patient safety and the minimization of medical errors cannot be overstated. Despite concerted efforts, many healthcare systems, especially in low-resource regions, still grapple with preventing these errors…
Background - Social anxiety (SA) is a common and debilitating condition, negatively affecting life quality even at sub-diagnostic thresholds. We sought to characterize SA's acoustic signature using hypothesis-testing and machine learning…
Accurate prediction of clinical outcomes using Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is critical for early intervention, efficient resource allocation, and improved patient care. EHRs contain multimodal data, including both structured data and…
Objective: This paper introduces a patient simulator for scalable, automated evaluation of healthcare conversational agents, generating realistic, controllable interactions that systematically vary across medical, linguistic, and behavioral…
Large-scale pretraining has transformed modeling of language and other data types, but its potential remains underexplored in healthcare with structured electronic health records (EHRs). We present a novel generative pretraining strategy…
Stroke affected millions annually, yet poor symptom recognition often delayed care-seeking. To address risk recognition gap, we developed a passive surveillance system for early stroke risk detection using patient-reported symptoms among…
Objectives: With accurate estimates of expected safety results, clinical trials could be better designed and monitored. We evaluated methods for predicting serious adverse event (SAE) results in clinical trials using information only from…
Electronic medical records (EMR) contain longitudinal information about patients that can be used to analyze outcomes. Typically, studies on EMR data have worked with established variables that have already been acknowledged to be…
Access to electronic health records (EHRs) for digital health research is often limited by privacy regulations and institutional barriers. Synthetic EHRs have been proposed as a way to enable safe and sovereign data sharing; however,…
Suicide is among the leading causes of death in China. However, technical approaches toward preventing suicide are challenging and remaining under development. Recently, several actual suicidal cases were preceded by users who posted…
Clinical information extraction, which involves structuring clinical concepts from unstructured medical text, remains a challenging problem that could benefit from the inclusion of tabular background information available in electronic…
We conducted a prospective analysis of incident dementia and its association with 65 sociodemographic, early-life, economic, health and behavioral, social, and genetic risk factors in a sample of 7,908 adults over the age of 50 from the…
Warning: This paper discusses topics of suicide and suicidal ideation, which may be distressing to some readers. The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) documents information about suicides in the United States, including free…
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients often present with complex, overlapping signs of physiological deterioration that require timely escalation of care. Traditional early warning systems, such as SOFA or MEWS, are limited by their focus on…
Causal inference from electronic health records (EHR) is fundamentally limited by unmeasured confounding: critical clinical states such as frailty, goals of care, and mental status are documented in free-text notes but absent from…
The promising research on Artificial Intelligence usages in suicide prevention has principal gaps, including black box methodologies, inadequate outcome measures, and scarce research on non-verbal inputs, such as social media images…
Unstructured information comprises a valuable source of data in clinical records. For text mining in clinical records, concept extraction is the first step in finding assertions and relationships. This study presents a system developed for…
Clinical trials assessing neurological treatment are challenging due to the diversity of brain function, and the difficulty in quantifying it. Traditional treatment studies in epilepsy use seizure frequency as the primary outcome measure,…
The SEAR Dataset is a novel multimodal resource designed to study the emerging threat of social engineering (SE) attacks orchestrated through augmented reality (AR) and multimodal large language models (LLMs). This dataset captures 180…
