Clinical concept extraction using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques is an alternative to manual data abstraction. Contextual word embedding models such as BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and FLAIR have enhanced performance of NLP tasks. Combining multiple clinically-trained embeddings can improve word representations and boost the performance of the clinical NLP systems. The objective of this study is to extract comprehensive clinical concepts from the consolidated colonoscopy documents using concatenated clinical embeddings. We built high-quality annotated corpora for three report types. BERT and FLAIR embeddings were trained on unlabeled colonoscopy related documents. We built a hybrid Artificial Neural Network (h-ANN) to concatenate and fine-tune BERT and FLAIR embeddings. To extract concepts of interest from three report types, 3 models were initialized from the h-ANN and fine-tuned using the annotated corpora. The models achieved best F1-scores of 91.76%, 92.25%, and 88.55% for colonoscopy, pathology, and radiology reports respectively.","PeriodicalId":72386,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical engineering systems and technologies, international joint conference, BIOSTEC ... revised selected papers.

Recently, deep learning (DL) methods that utilize word embeddings have become popular in clinical NLP tasks. However, there has been little work on evaluating and combining the word embeddings trained from different domains. The goal of this study is to improve the performance of NER in clinical discharge summaries by developing a DL model that combines different embeddings and investigate the combination of standard and contextual embeddings from the general and clinical domains. We developed: 1) A human-annotated high-quality internal corpus with discharge summaries and 2) A NER model with an input embedding layer that combines different embeddings: standard word embeddings, context-based word embeddings, a character-level word embedding using a convolutional neural network (CNN), and an external knowledge sources along with word features as one-hot vectors. Embedding was followed by bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) and conditional random field (CRF) layers. The proposed model reaches or overcomes state-of-the-art performance on two publicly available data sets and an F1 score of 94.31% on an internal corpus. After incorporating mixed-domain clinically pre-trained contextual embeddings, the F1 score further improved to 95.36% on the internal corpus. This study demonstrated an efficient way of combining different embeddings that will improve the recognition performance aiding the downstream de-identification of clinical notes.","PeriodicalId":72386,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical engineering systems and technologies, international joint conference, BIOSTEC ... revised selected papers.

Natural language processing (NLP) has been used as an alternative to manual data abstraction. Performance of Machine Learning (ML) based NLP solutions is heavily dependent on the accuracy of annotated corpora.

The diagnostic gold-standard involves manual review of a patient's biopsy tissue sample by a clinical pathologist for the presence of 15 or greater eosinophils within a single high-power field (400× magnification). Diagnosing EoE can be a cumbersome process with added difficulty for assessing the severity and progression of disease. We propose an automated approach for quantifying eosinophils using deep image segmentation. A U-Net model and post-processing system are applied to generate eosinophil-based statistics that can diagnose EoE as well as describe disease severity and progression. These statistics are captured in biopsies at the initial EoE diagnosis and are then compared with patient metadata: clinical and treatment phenotypes. The goal is to find linkages that could potentially guide treatment plans for new patients at their initial disease diagnosis. A deep image classification model is further applied to discover features other than eosinophils that can be used to diagnose EoE. This is the first study to utilize a deep learning computer vision approach for EoE diagnosis and to provide an automated process for tracking disease severity and progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":72386,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical engineering systems and technologies, international joint conference, BIOSTEC ... revised selected papers.

In fact, the health of an individual is partially related to access and quality of health care and mainly associated to his behaviours, socioeconomic conditions and other community related factors that are often challenging to address by health care organizations. To meet the need for information about local social services organizations and the ability to offer resource referrals, a number of platforms have been proposed that provide electronic social resource directories and facilitate referrals to social service agencies. However, these platforms show limitations with regards to their dependancy to health care organizations, application portability, service availability, and user engaging interactions such as tracking, monitoring and notification. Moreover, existing social resource referral platforms suffer from a fragmentation of services and a disconnection between individuals in need and service providers. In this paper, we introduce Smart Community Health (SCH), a novel independent platform that prioritizes connecting people in need with local community resources. SCH is a full-service, end-to-end community service provider recommendation platform designed to help address pressing social, environmental, and health needs within our communities. The platform is composed of a mobile application for individuals looking for services and a web application dashboard for the management of community service providers and health care organizations.</p>","PeriodicalId":72386,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical engineering systems and technologies, international joint conference, BIOSTEC ... revised selected papers.
