To enable interactive visualization of phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) on electronic health records (EHR).

Automatically identifying patients at risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced colitis allows physicians to improve patientcare. However, predictive models require training data curated from electronic health records (EHR). Our objective is to automatically identify notes documenting ICI-colitis cases to accelerate data curation.

To assess the extent to which health disparities content is integrated in multidisciplinary health informatics training programs and examine instructor perspectives surrounding teaching strategies and challenges, including student engagement with course material.

Situational awareness and anticipatory guidance for nurses receiving a patient after surgery are keys to patient safety. Little work has defined the role of artificial intelligence (AI) to support these functions during nursing handoff communication or patient assessment. We used interviews to better understand how AI could work in this context.

Post-acute sequalae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) is not well defined in pediatrics given its heterogeneity of presentation and severity in this population. The aim of this study is to use novel methods that rely on data mining approaches rather than clinical experience to detect conditions and symptoms associated with pediatric PASC.

Enabling discovery across the spectrum of rare and common diseases requires the integration of biological knowledge with clinical data; however, differences in terminologies present a major barrier. For example, the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is the primary vocabulary for describing features of rare diseases, while most clinical encounters use International Classification of Diseases (ICD) billing codes. ICD codes are further organized into clinically meaningful phenotypes via phecodes. Despite their prevalence [...]

This study aimed to understand how a metaverse-based (virtual) workspace can be used to support the communication and collaboration in an academic health informatics lab.

There is much interest in utilizing clinical data for developing prediction models for Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, progression, and outcomes. Existing studies have mostly utilized curated research registries, image analysis, and structured electronic health record (EHR) data. However, much critical information resides in relatively inaccessible unstructured clinical notes within the EHR.

Coronavirus disease (COVID)-related misinformation is prevalent online, including on social media. The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with user engagement with COVID-related misinformation on the social media platform, TikTok. A sample of TikTok videos associated with the hashtag #coronavirus was downloaded on September 20, 2020. Misinformation was evaluated on a scale (low, medium, and high) using a codebook developed by experts in infectious diseases. Multivariable modeling [...]

Inter- and intra-observer variability is a concern for medical school admissions. Artificial intelligence (AI) may present an opportunity to apply a fair standard to all applicants systematically and yet maintain sensitivity to nuances that have been a part of traditional screening methods.
