Depression is a common mental health issue that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Despite the promise of social media data for depression detection, the opacity of employed deep learning models hinders interpretability and raises…
In this paper, we aimed at reviewing several different approaches present today in the search for more accurate diagnostic and treatment management in mental healthcare. Our focus is on mood disorders, and in particular on the major…
Introduction: Identifying neurobiological differences between patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and healthy individuals has been a mainstay of clinical neuroscience for decades. However, recent meta- and mega-analyses…
Depression, a prevalent and serious mental health issue, affects approximately 3.8\% of the global population. Despite the existence of effective treatments, over 75\% of individuals in low- and middle-income countries remain untreated,…
When treating depression, clinicians are interested in determining the optimal treatment for a given patient, which is challenging given the amount of treatments available. To advance individualized treatment allocation, integrating data…
Almost 50% depression patients face the risk of going into relapse. The risk increases to 80% after the second episode of depression. Although, depression detection from social media has attained considerable attention, depression relapse…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease with a high degree of heterogeneity in its clinical features, rate of progression, and change of variables over time. In this work, we present a novel data-driven, network-based…
Mental disorders impact the lives of millions of people globally, not only impeding their day-to-day lives but also markedly reducing life expectancy. This paper addresses the persistent challenge of predicting mortality in patients with…
Users of social platforms often perceive these sites as supportive spaces to post about their mental health issues. Those conversations contain important traces about individuals' health risks. Recently, researchers have exploited this…
Objective: To determine if a realistic, but computationally efficient model of the electrocardiogram can be used to pre-train a deep neural network (DNN) with a wide range of morphologies and abnormalities specific to a given condition -…
Precision oncology aims to prescribe the optimal cancer treatment to the right patients, maximizing therapeutic benefits. However, identifying patient subgroups that may benefit more from experimental cancer treatments based on randomized…
Advancements in machine learning algorithms have had a beneficial impact on representation learning, classification, and prediction models built using electronic health record (EHR) data. Effort has been put both on increasing models'…
Deep learning (DL) methods have in recent years yielded impressive results in medical imaging, with the potential to function as clinical aid to radiologists. However, DL models in medical imaging are often trained on public research…
Predictive machine learning (ML) models are computational innovations that can enhance medical decision-making, including aiding in determining optimal timing for discharging patients. However, societal biases can be encoded into such…
We describe the development of a model to detect user-level clinical depression based on a user's temporal social media posts. Our model uses a Depression Symptoms Detection (DSD) classifier, which is trained on the largest existing samples…
We developed computational models to predict the emergence of depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Twitter users. Twitter data and details of depression history were collected from 204 individuals (105 depressed, 99 healthy). We…
Differentiated thyroid cancer DTC recurrence is a major public health concern, requiring classification and predictive models that are not only accurate but also interpretable and uncertainty aware. This study introduces a comprehensive…
Major depressive disorder (MDD) presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its complex and heterogeneous nature. Emerging evidence indicates that reward processing abnormalities may serve as a behavioral marker for MDD. To…
Speech patterns have been identified as potential diagnostic markers for neuropsychiatric conditions. However, most studies only compare a single clinical group to healthy controls, whereas clinical practice often requires differentiating…
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to limit their social activities, which has resulted in a rise in mental illnesses, particularly depression. To diagnose these illnesses with accuracy and speed, and prevent severe outcomes such…
