To develop a data harmonization framework for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) studies and demonstrate its suitability for prognostic biomarker development.

Unstructured data, such as procedure notes, contain valuable medical information that is frequently underutilized due to the labor-intensive nature of data extraction. This study aims to develop a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) pipeline using an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) with built-in guardrails and a retry mechanism to extract data from unstructured right heart catheterization (RHC) notes while minimizing errors, including hallucinations.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a growing public health burden with persistent racial and ethnic disparities. . This study assessed the completeness of social determinants of health (SdoH) data for patients with T2D in Epic Cosmos, a nationwide, cross-institutional electronic health recors (EHR) database.

Assess time impact and provider perception of AI-generated encounter summaries.

To develop a natural language processing (NLP) pipeline for unstructured electronic health record (EHR) data to identify symptoms and functional impacts associated with Long COVID in children.

Studies on symptom concordance between patients and their caregivers often use cross-sectional designs, which may fail to capture the longitudinal, dynamic symptom experience. The Behavioral and Environmental Sensing and Intervention for Cancer (BESI-C) is a remote health monitoring system that utilizes smartwatches and ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) to empower patients and caregivers to monitor and manage cancer pain at home. BESI-C collects real-time symptom data in naturalistic settings, enabling longitudinal [...]

To enable users with modest technical background to perform biomedical natural language processing (NLP).

To evaluate and compare different dimensionality reduction techniques for quantifying housing conditions as a social determinant of health (SDOH) across various geographic levels in the United States.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated high levels of performance in clinical information extraction compared to rule-based systems and traditional machine-learning approaches, offering scalability, contextualization, and easier deployment. However, most studies rely on proprietary models with privacy concerns and high costs, limiting accessibility. We aim to evaluate 14 publicly available open-source LLMs for extracting clinically relevant findings from free-text echocardiogram reports and examine the feasibility of their implementation in information [...]

Our objective is to compare different pre-training strategies for electronic health record (EHR) foundation models.
