SURF-SVM Based Identification and Classification of Gastrointestinal Diseases in Wireless Capsule Endoscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Endoscopy provides a major contribution to the diagnosis of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) diseases. With Colon Endoscopy having its certain limitations, Wireless Capsule Endoscopy is gradually taking over it in the terms of ease and efficiency. WCE is performed with a miniature optical endoscope which is swallowed by the patient and transmits colour

Determining Health Utilities through Data Mining of Social Media [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 'Health utilities' measure patient preferences for perfect health compared to specific unhealthy states, such as asthma, a fractured hip, or colon cancer. When integrated over time, these estimations are called quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Until now, characterizing health utilities (HUs) required detailed patient interviews or written surveys ...

Cluster detection and risk estimation for spatio-temporal health data [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In epidemiological disease mapping one aims to estimate the spatio-temporal pattern in disease risk and identify high-risk clusters, allowing health interventions to be appropriately targeted. Bayesian spatio-temporal models are used to estimate smoothed risk surfaces, but this is contrary to the aim of identifying groups of areal units that exhibit ...
