Book Leveraging Data Science for Global Health

Download or read book Leveraging Data Science for Global Health written by Leo Anthony Celi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores ways to leverage information technology and machine learning to combat disease and promote health, especially in resource-constrained settings. It focuses on digital disease surveillance through the application of machine learning to non-traditional data sources. Developing countries are uniquely prone to large-scale emerging infectious disease outbreaks due to disruption of ecosystems, civil unrest, and poor healthcare infrastructure – and without comprehensive surveillance, delays in outbreak identification, resource deployment, and case management can be catastrophic. In combination with context-informed analytics, students will learn how non-traditional digital disease data sources – including news media, social media, Google Trends, and Google Street View – can fill critical knowledge gaps and help inform on-the-ground decision-making when formal surveillance systems are insufficient.

Book Discovering Data Driven Actionable Intelligence for Clinical Decision Support

Download or read book Discovering Data Driven Actionable Intelligence for Clinical Decision Support written by Ahmed Mohamed Alaa Ibrahim and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid digitization of healthcare has led to a proliferation of clinical data, manifesting through electronic health records, biorepositories, and disease registries. This dissertation addresses the question of how machine learning (ML) techniques can capitalize on these data resources to assist clinicians in predicting, preventing and treating illness. To this end, we develop a set of MLbased, data-driven models of patient outcomes that we envision to be embedded within systems of decision support deployed at different stages of patient care. We focus on two broad setups for analyzing clinical data: (1) the cross-sectional setup wherein data is collected by observing many patients at a particular point of time, and (2) the longitudinal setup in which repeated observations of the same patient are collected over time. In both setups, we develop models that are: (a) capable of answering counter-factual questions, i.e., can predict outcomes under alternative treatment scenarios, (b) interpretable in the sense that clinicians can understand how the model predictions for individual patients are issued, and (c) automated in the sense that they adaptively tune their modeling choices for the dataset at hand, with little or no need for expert intervention. Models satisfying these three requirements would enable the realization of actionable, transparent and automated decision support systems that operate symbiotically within existing clinical workflows. Our technical contributions are multi-faceted. In the cross-sectional data setup, we develop ML models that fulfill the aforementioned requirements (a)-(c) as follows. We start by developing a comprehensive theoretical framework for causal inference, whereby we quantify the limits to how well ML models can recover the causal effects of counter-factual treatment decisions on individual patients using observational (retrospective) data, and we build ML models -- based on Gaussian processes -- that achieve these limits. Next, we develop a novel symbolic meta-modeling approach for interpreting the predictions of any ML-based prognostic model by converting the "black-box" model into an understandable symbolic equation that relates patients' features to their predicted outcomes. Finally, we develop a model selection approach based on Bayesian optimization that enables the automation of predictive and causal modeling. In the longitudinal data setup, we develop a novel deep probabilistic model for sequential clinical data that satisfies requirements (a)- (c) by capitalizing on the strengths of both state-space models and deep recurrent neural networks. To demonstrate the utility of our models, we evaluate their performance on various real-world datasets for cohorts of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and cystic fibrosis patients. We show that, compared to existing clinical scorers, our ML-based models can improve the accuracy of predicting individual-level prognoses, guide treatment decisions for individual patients, and provide insights into underlying disease mechanisms.

  • Pages : 142 pages

Download or read book Toward Precision Medicine written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by the explosion of molecular data on humans-particularly data associated with individual patients-and the sense that there are large, as-yet-untapped opportunities to use this data to improve health outcomes, Toward Precision Medicine explores the feasibility and need for "a new taxonomy of human disease based on molecular biology" and develops a potential framework for creating one. The book says that a new data network that integrates emerging research on the molecular makeup of diseases with clinical data on individual patients could drive the development of a more accurate classification of diseases and ultimately enhance diagnosis and treatment. The "new taxonomy" that emerges would define diseases by their underlying molecular causes and other factors in addition to their traditional physical signs and symptoms. The book adds that the new data network could also improve biomedical research by enabling scientists to access patients' information during treatment while still protecting their rights. This would allow the marriage of molecular research and clinical data at the point of care, as opposed to research information continuing to reside primarily in academia. Toward Precision Medicine notes that moving toward individualized medicine requires that researchers and health care providers have access to very large sets of health- and disease-related data linked to individual patients. These data are also critical for developing the information commons, the knowledge network of disease, and ultimately the new taxonomy.

Book Evolution of Translational Omics

Download or read book Evolution of Translational Omics written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.
