In a context of escalating public health challenges, including the rise of chronic diseases, the impact of climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic, certain populations bear a disproportionate burden. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop public ...
Amyloidosis refers to a range of medical conditions in which misshapen proteins accumulate in various organs and tissues, forming insoluble fibrils. Cardiac amyloidosis is frequently linked to the buildup of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) or immunoglobulin ...
Limited availability of representative time-to-failure (TTF) trajectories either limits the performance of deep learning (DL)-based approaches on remaining useful life (RUL) prediction in practice or even precludes their application. Generating synthetic d ...

It is a challenge to keep abreast of all the clinical and scientific advances in the field of respiratory medicine. This article contains an overview of the laboratory-based science, clinical trials and qualitative research that were presented during the 2 ...
Medical research and technological advancements are heading towards tailored healthcare approaches that prioritize individual needs, allowing for more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments, and better patient outcomes overall. One such approach is ...
Background: Evaluating the impact of health systems on premature mortality across different countries is a very challenging task, as it is hardly possible to disentangle it from the influence of contextual factors such as cultural differences. In this resp ...
Re-use of patients’ health records can provide tremendous benefits for clinical research. Yet, when researchers need to access sensitive/identifying data, such as genomic data, in order to compile cohorts of well-characterized patients for specific studies ...
Medical data are often scattered among multiple clinics, hospitals, insurance companies, pharmacies, and research institutions that store and process personal healthcare information. The use of information and communication technologies for health (eHealth ...
Re-use of patients’ health records can provide tremendous benefits for clinical research. One of the first essential steps for many research studies, such as clinical trials or population health studies, is to effectively identify, from electronic health r ...
The digital revolution has contributed to very large data sets (ie, big data) relevant for public health. The two major data sources are electronic health records from traditional health systems and patient-generated data. As the two data sources have comp ...
The Swiss Nano-Tera.ch program addresses – among others – issues at the intersection of engineering and medical domains. Specifically, electronic-health (or E-Health) is a broad area of engineering that leverages transducer, circuit and systems technologie ...
Objectives: While electronic health record (EHR) systems have potential to drive improvements in healthcare, a majority of EHR implementations fall short of expectations. Shortcomings in implementations are often due to organizational issues around the imp ...
Given persistent barriers to effective electronic health record (EHR) system implementation and use, the authors investigated implementation training practices in six organizations reputed to have ambulatory care EHR system implementation "best practices." ...
Drug development and personalized therapy require accurate and frequent monitoring of the metabolic response by living tissues to treatments. In case of high risk side effects, e.g. therapies with interfering anti-cancer molecule cocktails, direct monitori ...
A multidisciplinary and shared computerized
patient record (CPR) has been progressively
implemented since 2002 for all public hospitals
in the State of Valais, Switzerland. This paper
presents the results of a formal evaluation of
