Emergency Medical Services (EMS) demand load has become a considerable burden for many government authorities, and EMS demand is often an early indicator for stress in communities, a warning sign of emerging problems. In this paper, we…
Plasmodium falciparum malaria still poses one of the greatest threats to human life with over 200 million cases globally leading to half-million deaths annually. Of these, 90% of cases and of the mortality occurs in sub-Saharan Africa,…
World models offer a principled framework for simulating future states under interventions, but realizing such models in complex, high-stakes domains like medicine remains challenging. Recent large language models (LLMs) have achieved…
America has one of the best medical systems in the world. The medical treatment care options offered by the medical system make it sophisticated. However, many American patients are not receiving health care on a regular basis, and at the…
Model-based disease mapping remains a fundamental policy-informing tool in the fields of public health and disease surveillance. Hierarchical Bayesian models have emerged as the state-of-the-art approach for disease mapping since they are…
Expert diagnostic support systems have been extensively studied. The practical applications of these systems in real-world scenarios have been somewhat limited due to well-understood shortcomings, such as lack of extensibility. More…
Maternal health literacy is associated with greater odds of positive pregnancy outcomes. There is an increasing proliferation of websites dedicated to maternal health education, but the scope and quality of their content varies widely. In…
Evidence-based health care (EBHC) is an important practice of medicine which attempts to provide systematic scientific evidence to answer clinical questions. In this context, Epistemonikos (www.epistemonikos.org) is one of the first and…
Human disease diagnosis is a complicated process and requires high level of expertise. Any attempt of developing a web-based expert system dealing with human disease diagnosis has to overcome various difficulties. This paper describes a…
Despite steady global advances, maternal mortality remains alarmingly high in Pakistan (155 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2023); largely as a consequence of fragmented paper records, low literacy, poor access to quality healthcare, and…
Africa faces significant challenges in healthcare delivery due to limited infrastructure and access to advanced medical technologies. This study explores the use of federated learning to overcome these barriers, focusing on perinatal…
Internet and expert systems have offered new ways of sharing and distributing knowledge, but there is a lack of researches in the area of web based expert systems. This paper introduces a development of a web-based expert system for the…
We partner with a leading European healthcare provider and design a mechanism to match patients with family doctors in primary care. We define the matchmaking process for several distinct use cases given different levels of available…
Large language models are increasingly used for medical guidance, but women's health remains under-evaluated in benchmark design. We present the Women's Health Benchmark (WHBench), a targeted evaluation suite of 47 expert-crafted scenarios…
Malaria remains a major public health concern in Ethiopia, particularly in the Amhara Region, where seasonal and unpredictable transmission patterns make prevention and control challenging. Accurately forecasting malaria outbreaks is…
Hospitals are complex systems and optimising their function is critical to the provision of high quality, cost effective healthcare. Nevertheless, metrics of performance have to date focused on the performance of individual elements rather…
Digital health interventions, particularly electronic referrals (e-referrals) and health information systems, have revolutionised clinical workflows in public hospitals by automating processes. However, the utilization of e-referrals has…
Expert System is developed as consulting service for users spread or public requires affordable access. The Internet has become a medium for such services, but presence of mobile devices make the access becomes more widespread by utilizing…
Motivation: Electronic health record (EHR) data provides a new venue to elucidate disease comorbidities and latent phenotypes for precision medicine. To fully exploit its potential, a realistic data generative process of the EHR data needs…
The study investigated the impact of healthcare system efficiency on the delivery of maternal, newborn, and child services in Africa. Data Envelopment Analysis and Tobit regression were employed to assess the efficiency of 46 healthcare…
