 Evidence supports using patient-generated blood pressure data for better outcomes in hypertension management. However, obstacles like dealing with home-generated paper data sets and questions of validity slowed the meaningful incorporation of home blood pressure into clinical care. As clinicians value patient data more, reliance on digital health solutions for data collection and shared decision-making grows.

Development of search queries for systematic reviews (SRs) is time-consuming. In this work, we capitalize on recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and a relatively large dataset of natural language descriptions of reviews and corresponding Boolean searches to generate Boolean search queries from SR titles and key questions.

Serum creatinine (SCr) is the primary biomarker for assessing kidney function; however, it may lag behind true kidney function, especially in instances of acute kidney injury (AKI). The objective of the work is to develop Nephrocast, a deep-learning model to predict next-day SCr in adult patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU).

This article focuses on the role of the electronic health record (EHR) to generate meaningful formative feedback for medical students in the clinical setting. Despite the scores of clinical data housed within the EHR, medical educators have only just begun to tap into this data to enhance student learning. Literature to-date has focused almost exclusively on resident education.

We aimed to develop and validate a novel multimodal framework Hierarchical Multi-task Auxiliary Learning (HiMAL) framework, for predicting cognitive composite functions as auxiliary tasks that estimate the longitudinal risk of transition from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide opportunities for the development of computable predictive tools. Conventional machine learning methods and deep learning methods have been widely used for this task, with the approach of usually designing one tool for one clinical outcome. Here we developed PheW2P2V, a Phenome-Wide prediction framework using Weighted Patient Vectors. PheW2P2V conducts tailored predictions for phenome-wide phenotypes using numeric representations of patients' past medical records weighted based on [...]

This study aimed to investigate the predictive capabilities of historical patient records to predict patient adverse outcomes such as mortality, readmission, and prolonged length of stay (PLOS).

 This study aimed to assess the desirability, feasibility, and sustainability of integrating a project-based capstone course with the course-based curriculum of an interdisciplinary MSc Health Informatics program guided by a student-partnered steering committee and student-centered approach.

To report lessons from integrating the methods and perspectives of clinical informatics (CI) and implementation science (IS) in the context of Improving the Management of symPtoms during and following Cancer Treatment (IMPACT) Consortium pragmatic trials.
