Present an artificial intelligence-enabled pipeline for estimating the prevalence of depression and general anxiety among pregnant women using texts from their social media posts. Use said pipeline to analyze mental health trends on subreddits frequented by pregnant women and report on interesting insights that could be helpful for policy-makers, clinicians, etc.

Anaphylaxis is a severe life-threatening allergic reaction, and its accurate identification in healthcare databases can harness the potential of "Big Data" for healthcare or public health purposes.

Using agile software development practices, develop and evaluate an architecture and implementation for reliable and user-friendly self-service management of bioinformatic data stored in the cloud.

To develop and test a scalable, performant, and rule-based model for identifying 3 major domains of social needs (residential instability, food insecurity, and transportation issues) from the unstructured data in electronic health records (EHRs).

This study aims to summarize the research literature evaluating machine learning (ML)-based clinical decision support (CDS) systems in healthcare settings.

Federated learning (FL) has gained popularity in clinical research in recent years to facilitate privacy-preserving collaboration. Structured data, one of the most prevalent forms of clinical data, has experienced significant growth in volume concurrently, notably with the widespread adoption of electronic health records in clinical practice. This review examines FL applications on structured medical data, identifies contemporary limitations, and discusses potential innovations.

Generation of automated clinical notes has been posited as a strategy to mitigate physician burnout. In particular, an automated narrative summary of a patient's hospital stay could supplement the hospital course section of the discharge summary that inpatient physicians document in electronic health record (EHR) systems. In the current study, we developed and evaluated an automated method for summarizing the hospital course section using encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence transformer models.

Development of electronic health records (EHR)-based machine learning models for pediatric inpatients is challenged by limited training data. Self-supervised learning using adult data may be a promising approach to creating robust pediatric prediction models. The primary objective was to determine whether a self-supervised model trained in adult inpatients was noninferior to logistic regression models trained in pediatric inpatients, for pediatric inpatient clinical prediction tasks.

Patients who receive most care within a single healthcare system (colloquially called a "loyalty cohort" since they typically return to the same providers) have mostly complete data within that organization's electronic health record (EHR). Loyalty cohorts have low data missingness, which can unintentionally bias research results. Using proxies of routine care and healthcare utilization metrics, we compute a per-patient score that identifies a loyalty cohort.

Outcomes are important clinical study information. Despite progress in automated extraction of PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) entities from PubMed, rarely are these entities encoded by standard terminology to achieve semantic interoperability. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) and SNOMED-CT in encoding outcome concepts in randomized controlled trial (RCT) abstracts.
