Article Synopsis
  • * The study validated the use of smartwatches in both hospital and home settings, showing better performance in motor symptom assessments during clinical evaluations compared to single-sensor metrics.
  • * Results indicated that digital measurements are sensitive to medication effects and reliable in real-world environments, with varying reliability depending on the frequency of data collection.

Sensor-based remote monitoring could help better track Parkinson's disease (PD) progression, and measure patients' response to putative disease-modifying therapeutic interventions. To be useful, the remotely-collected measurements should be valid, reliable, and sensitive to change, and people with PD must engage with the technology. We developed a smartwatch-based active assessment that enables unsupervised measurement of motor signs of PD.

Predicting infarct volume from magnetic resonance perfusion-weighted imaging can provide helpful information to clinicians in deciding how aggressively to treat acute stroke patients. Models have been developed to predict tissue fate, yet these models are mostly built using hand-crafted features (e.g.

Current clinical practice relies on clinical history to determine the time since stroke (TSS) onset. Imaging-based determination of acute stroke onset time could provide critical information to clinicians in deciding stroke treatment options, such as thrombolysis. The patients with unknown or unwitnessed TSS are usually excluded from thrombolysis, even if their symptoms began within the therapeutic window.

Prostate cancer is the most common and second most deadly form of cancer in men in the United States. The classification of prostate cancers based on Gleason grading using histological images is important in risk assessment and treatment planning for patients. Here, we demonstrate a new region-based convolutional neural network framework for multi-task prediction using an epithelial network head and a grading network head.

Automated Gleason grading is an important preliminary step for quantitative histopathological feature extraction. Different from the traditional task of classifying small pre-selected homogeneous regions, semantic segmentation provides pixel-wise Gleason predictions across an entire slide. Deep learning-based segmentation models can automatically learn visual semantics from data, which alleviates the need for feature engineering.

Gleason grading of histological images is important in risk assessment and treatment planning for prostate cancer patients. Much research has been done in classifying small homogeneous cancer regions within histological images. However, semi-supervised methods published to date depend on pre-selected regions and cannot be easily extended to an image of heterogeneous tissue composition.

Models have been developed to predict stroke outcomes (e.g., mortality) in attempt to provide better guidance for stroke treatment.
