The Health Gym: Synthetic Health-Related Datasets for the Development of Reinforcement Learning Algorithms [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In recent years, the machine learning research community has benefited tremendously from the availability of openly accessible benchmark datasets. Clinical data are usually not openly available due to their highly confidential nature. This has hampered the development of reproducible and generalisable machine learning applications in health care.

Reinforcement Learning Assisted Oxygen Therapy for COVID-19 Patients Under Intensive Care [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Patients with severe Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) typically require supplemental oxygen as an essential treatment. We developed a machine learning algorithm, based on a deep Reinforcement Learning (RL), for continuous management of oxygen flow rate for critical ill patients under intensive care, which can identify the optimal personalized oxygen ...
