Psychosocial risk factors and social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to persistent disparities in liver transplantation access. We developed a large language model framework to extract and analyze how these factors influence care trajectories….

The rapid emergence of patient-facing medical artificial intelligence (MAI) raises pressing questions about its design and impact on healthcare. Current anthropomorphic design strategies, which endow AIs with human-like features, are based on a reductivist…

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is proposed as essential for high-risk applications like healthcare, where it aims to enhance user trust. However, studies often rely on automated metrics rather than user evaluation. We adapt a…

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) offers insights into gene expression patterns and their spatial context within the tumor microenvironment, but remains limited by the scalability of current sequencing technologies. Existing approaches infer ST from whole-slide images…

Adult diffuse gliomas are clinically and molecularly heterogeneous, complicating risk stratification and personalized management. We introduce GlioSurv, a multimodal transformer model based on an accelerated failure time framework to integrate multiparametric MRI, clinical and…

Silent brain infarctions (SBIs), affecting 20% of adults and increasing stroke risk, evade routine MRI screening. While retinal scans offer a “window to the brain,” prior AI failed to simultaneously detect SBIs and predict…

Little is known about the prognostic value of continuous, out-of-clinic biometric monitoring of cardiovascular function in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study, a mean (±SD) of 50.3 ± 9.3 h of EKG recordings from wearable BioPatch…

Cage subsidence after oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) frequently causes poor outcomes, yet existing predictive models lack accuracy and applicability. This study leveraged the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression to efficiently…

Health human resource constraints in Canada have left millions of patients without timely access to primary care (PC), leading many to attend emergency departments (ED) to see a doctor. We evaluated changes in service…

Potentially malignant oral lesions are visible mucosal changes with risk of progressing to squamous cell carcinoma. These lesions are currently graded as no, mild, moderate, or severe dysplasia per WHO guidelines. While widely used,…
