In contrast to the structured clinical data typically used for administrative purposes, clinical notes are more nuanced and are primarily used by healthcare providers for detailed documentation. Each patient encounter is associated with several clinical notes. This poses many challenges for analyzing the free text in these documents. The same holds for notes taken in […]

Dr. Rashidi will join Dr. Azra Bihorac and Dr. Yoshua Bengio in a discussion titled “How to achieve equitable, inclusive, and ethical AI development and implementation” at ISN Virtual World Congress of Nephrology 2021.

A Comprehensive Survey  Human Activity Recognition Research Paper [link] Nowadays, the aging population is becoming one of the world’s primary concerns. It is estimated that the population aged over 65 will increase from 461 million to 2 billion by 2050. Such a substantial increase in the elderly population will have significant social and health care […]
