Clinical practice calls for reliable diagnosis and optimized treatment. However, human errors in health care remain a severe issue even in industrialized countries. The application of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) casts light on this problem. However, given the great improvement in CDSS over the past several years, challenges to their wide-scale application are still present, including:...
Rare diseases are hard to identify and diagnose. Our goal is to use self-reported behavioural data to distinguish people with rare diseases from people with more common chronic illnesses. To this effect, we adapt a state of the art machine learning algorithm to make this classification. We find that using this method, and an appropriate set of questions, we can accurately identify people with rare...
It has been shown that acupuncture at acupoint of Shenmen can change the activities of brain and cure some neural diseases in clinic. Magnetic stimulation is a new kind of stimulating technique of non-invasive and painless. In this work, the effects of magnetic stimulation by stimulating the acupoint of Shenmen are studied. Moreover, the connections between the brain functional state and the chaos...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a powerful, non-invasive tool for investigating functions in the brain. The target inside the head is stimulated with eddy currents induced in the tissues by the time-varying magnetic field. TMS has been used in several applications in medical and clinical research which include brain mapping, treatment of mood disorder and schizophrenia, treatment of epilepsy,...
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a newly developed technique by which impedance measurements from the surface of an object are reconstructed into impedance image. But in the initial stage, the EIT problem is regarded as the two-dimensional EIT problem, which ignores too much important information and makes it can't give the exact spatial information of the place where the impedance has changed...
