The study sought to build predictive models of next menstrual cycle start date based on mobile health self-tracked cycle data. Because app users may skip tracking, disentangling physiological patterns of menstruation from tracking behaviors is necessary for the development of predictive models.

This work examined the secondary use of clinical data from the electronic health record (EHR) for screening our healthcare worker (HCW) population for potential exposures to patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

To characterize variation in clinical documentation production patterns, how this variation relates to individual resident behavior preferences, and how these choices relate to work hours.

The aim of this study was to collect and synthesize evidence regarding data quality problems encountered when working with variables related to social determinants of health (SDoH).

The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic response at the Medical University of South Carolina included virtual care visits for patients with suspected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The telehealth system used for these visits only exports a text note to integrate with the electronic health record, but structured and coded information about COVID-19 (eg, exposure, risk factors, symptoms) was needed to support clinical care and early research [...]

There have been various methods to deal with the erroneous training data in distantly supervised relation extraction (RE), however, their performance is still far from satisfaction. We aimed to deal with the insufficient modeling problem on instance-label correlations for predicting biomedical relations using deep learning and reinforcement learning.

We address a first step toward using social media data to supplement current efforts in monitoring population-level medication nonadherence: detecting changes to medication treatment. Medication treatment changes, like changes to dosage or to frequency of intake, that are not overseen by physicians are, by that, nonadherence to medication. Despite the consequences, including worsening health conditions or death, 50% of patients are estimated to not take medications as indicated. Current methods [...]
