Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of hospitalization and death in the United States. Moreover, as average age individuals increases around world, early detection diagnosis AF become even more pressing. In this paper, we introduce novel deep learning architecture for normal sinus rhythm, AF, other abnormal rhythms, noise.We have demonstrated through systematic approach many hyperparameters, input sets, optimization methods that yielded influence both training time performance...
Established guidelines describe minimum requirements for reporting algorithms in healthcare; it is equally important to objectify the characteristics of ideal that confer maximum potential benefits patients, clinicians, and investigators. We propose a framework algorithms, including 6 desiderata: explainable (convey relative importance features determining outputs), dynamic (capture temporal changes physiologic signals clinical events), precise (use high-resolution, multimodal data aptly...

Interventions: The was divided into domain CDE portions each composed two item generation rounds one reduction/refinement...
A complicated clinical course for critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) usually includes multiorgan dysfunction and subsequent death. Owing heterogeneity, complexity, unpredictability of disease progression, ICU patient is challenging. Identifying predictors courses mortality at early stages recognizing trajectory from vast array longitudinal quantitative data difficult. Therefore, we attempted perform a meta-analysis previously published gene expression datasets...
We present an interpretable machine learning algorithm called ‘eARDS’ for predicting ARDS in ICU population comprising COVID-19 patients, up to 12-hours before satisfying the Berlin clinical criteria. The analysis was conducted on data collected from Intensive care units (ICU) at Emory Healthcare, Atlanta, GA and University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN Cerner ® Facts Deidentified Database, a multi-site EMR database. participants consisted adults over 18 years age. Clinical...
Abstract With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare systems all over world are struggling to manage massive increase in emergency department (ED) visits. This has put an enormous demand on medical professionals. Increased wait times ED increases risk of infection transmission. In this work we present open-source, low cost, off-body system assist automatic triage patients based widely available hardware. The initially focuses two symptoms fever and cyanosis. use visible far-infrared...
This paper presents a novel method for hierarchical analysis of machine learning algorithms to improve predictions at risk patients, thus further enabling prompt therapy. Specifically, we develop multi-layer approach analyze continuous, high-frequency data. We illustrate the capabilities this early identification patients sepsis, potentially life-threatening complication an infection, using (minute-by-minute) physiological data collected from bedside monitors. In our cohort 586 model...
Heart failure (HF) exacerbations, characterized by pulmonary congestion and breathlessness, require frequent hospitalizations, often resulting in poor outcomes. Current methods for tracking lung fluid respiratory distress are unable to produce continuous, holistic measures of cardiopulmonary health. We present a multimodal sensing system that captures bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), multi-channel sounds from four contact microphones, multi-frequency impedance pneumography (IP), temperature,...
