• Abstract summary: Constant patient monitoring enables better medical treatment as it allows practitioners to react on time and provide the appropriate treatment. Telemedicine can provide constant remote monitoring so patients can stay in their homes, only requiring medical sensing equipment and network connections. A limiting factor for telemedical centers is the amount of patients that can be monitored simultaneously. This paper investigates a machine learning model to estimate a risk score based on patient vital parameters.

• Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases and heart failures in particular are the main cause of non-communicable disease mortality in the world. Constant patient monitoring enables better medical treatment as it allows practitioners to react on time and provide the appropriate treatment. Telemedicine can provide constant remote monitoring so patients can stay in their homes, only requiring medical sensing equipment and network connections. A limiting factor for telemedical centers is the amount of patients that can be monitored simultaneously. We aim to increase this amount by implementing a decision support system. This paper investigates a machine learning model to estimate a risk score based on patient vital parameters that allows sorting all cases every day to help practitioners focus their limited capacities on the most severe cases. The model we propose reaches an AUCROC of 0.84, whereas the baseline rule-based model reaches an AUCROC of 0.73. Our results indicate that the usage of deep learning to improve the efficiency of telemedical centers is feasible. This way more patients could benefit from better health-care through remote monitoring.

  We leverage a state-of-the-art noninvasive computer vision system based on depth imaging to characterize ICU visitations and patients' mobility. We found an association between deteriorating patient acuity and the incidence of delirium with increased visitations. Our findings highlight the feasibility and potential of using noninvasive autonomous systems to monitor ICU patients.

  A novel methodology is proposed by combining multi-modal features, extracted from Computed Tomography (CT) scans and Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. Deep learning models are leveraged to extract quantitative features from CT scans. These features combined with those directly read from the EHR database are fed into machine learning models to eventually output the probabilities of patient outcomes.

  It is important that the patient discharge task addresses the nuanced trade-off between decreasing a patient's length of stay and the risk of readmission or even death following the discharge decision. This work introduces an end-to-end general framework for capturing this trade-off to recommend optimal discharge timing decisions. A data-driven approach is used to derive a parsimonious, discrete state space representation that captures a patient's physiological condition.
