Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic requires accurate forecasting of health system capacity requirements using readily available inputs. We examined whether testing and hospitalization data could help quantify the anticipated burden on the health system given shelter-in-place (SIP) order.

The study sought to develop an information model of data describing a person's work for use by health information technology (IT) systems to support clinical care, population health, and public health.

To reduce pathogen exposure, conserve personal protective equipment, and facilitate health care personnel work participation in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic, three affiliated institutions rapidly and independently deployed inpatient telemedicine programs during March 2020. We describe key features and early learnings of these programs in the hospital setting.

Unsupervised machine learning approaches hold promise for large-scale clinical data. However, the heterogeneity of clinical data raises new methodological challenges in feature selection, choosing a distance metric that captures biological meaning, and visualization. We hypothesized that clustering could discover prognostic groups from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a disease that provides biological validation through well-understood outcomes.

Ubiquitous technologies can be leveraged to construct ecologically relevant metrics that complement traditional psychological assessments. This study aims to determine the feasibility of smartphone-derived real-world keyboard metadata to serve as digital biomarkers of mood.

To conduct a systematic scoping review of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) models that use real-world electronic health record data, categorize these techniques according to different biomedical applications, identify gaps of current studies, and suggest future research directions.

Many countries have implemented quarantine rules during the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Understanding how hospitals can continue providing services in an effective manner under these circumstances is thus important. In this study, we investigate how information technology (IT) helped hospitals in mainland China better respond to the outbreak of the pandemic.

The study sought to create an online resource that informs the public of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks in their area.
