: In this paper, we aim to predict the patient’s length of stay (LOS) after they are dismissed from the emergency department and transferred to the next hospital unit. An accurate prediction has positive effects for patients, doctors and hospital administrators. We extract a dataset of 181,797 patients from the United States and perform a set of feature engineering steps. For the prediction we use a CatBoost regression architecture with a specifically implemented loss function. The results are compared with baseline models and results from related work on other use cases. With an average absolute error of 2.36 days in the newly defined use case of post ED LOS prediction, we outperform baseline models achieve comparable results to use cases from intensive care unit LOS prediction. The approach can be used as a new baseline for further improvements of the prediction.

Unstructured textual data is at the heart of healthcare systems. For obvious privacy reasons, these documents are not accessible to researchers as long as they contain personally identifiable information. One way to share this data while respecting the legislative framework (notably GDPR or HIPAA) is, within the medical structures, to de-identify it, i.e. to detect the personal information of a person through a Named Entity Recognition (NER) system and then replacing it to make it very difficult to associate the document with the person. The challenge is having reliable NER and substitution tools without compromising confidentiality and consistency in the document. Most of the conducted research focuses on English medical documents with coarse substitutions by not benefiting from advances in privacy. This paper shows how an efficient and differentially private de-identification approach can be achieved by strengthening the less robust de-identification method and by adapting state-of-the-art differentially private mechanisms for substitution purposes. The result is an approach for de-identifying clinical documents in French language, but also generalizable to other languages and whose robustness is mathematically proven.

: Navigational abilities and wayfinding are important skills for participation in society. Landmark-based navigation is considered as an important basic wayfinding strategy. This strategy is used as the underlying concept for a rehabilitation training for people with topological disorientation. A digitization of this approach is proposed based on a smartphone application employing Augmented Realty concepts. This application allows to describe routes based on landmarks and a training of the defined routes. It is developed in an agile, interdisciplinary research process taking especially usability and privacy aspects into account.

: This position paper argues the need for more details than simple statistical accuracy measures when comparing machine learning models constructed for patient outcome prediction. First, statistical accuracy measures are briefly discussed, including AROC, APRC, predictive accuracy, precision, recall, and their variants. Then, model correlation plots are introduced that compare outputs from two models. Finally, a more detailed analysis of inputs to the models is presented. The discussions are illustrated with two classification problems in predicting patient mortality and high utilization of medical services.

: Due to new technological innovations, the increase in lifestyle products, and the digitalisation of healthcare the volume of personal health data is constantly growing. However, in order to use, re-use, and link personalised health data and, thus, unlock their potential benefits in health research, the authors of the data need to voluntarily give their informed consent. That is a major challenge to health data research, because the classic informed consent process requires the immense administrative burden to ask for consent, every time personal health data is accessed. In this paper we argue that all alternative consent models that have been developed to tackle this problem, either do not reduce administrative burdens significantly or do not conform to the informed consent ideal. That is why we used the design thinking approach to develop an alternative consent model that we call the value-based consent model . This model has the potential to reduce administrative burdens while empowering research subjects to autonomously translate their values into consent decisions.

: The advent of transformer models has allowed for tremendous progress in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain. Pretrained transformers could successfully deliver the state-of-the-art performance in a myriad of NLP tasks. This study presents an application of transformers to learn contextual embeddings from free-text triage notes, widely recorded at the emergency department. A large-scale retrospective cohort of triage notes of more than 260K records was provided by the University Hospital of Amiens-Picardy in France. We utilize a set of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) for the French language. The quality of embeddings is empirically examined based on a set of clustering models. In this regard, we provide a comparative analysis of popular models including CamemBERT , FlauBERT , and mBART . The study could be generally regarded as an addition to the ongoing contributions of applying the BERT approach in the healthcare context.

This research aims to provide an overview of the existent digital solutions for birth plans’ creation, intending to contribute for the advance of e-health services focused on the perinatal decision-making process. Primary data was found through a web search procedure. Better ranked options complying with the following criteria were included: (a) available online and for free; (b) pregnant people as the target audience; (c) labor and/or birth plan creation features; (d) in English. Four online services were found, and a two part study was conducted: a) a non-exhaustive benchmarking-like analysis of webpages where the digital solutions to create birth plans were provided, according to six dimensions; b) followed by a content analysis of the digital solutions, resulting in 13 categories emerging, that were scored according to their occurrence and completeness. “Consent and Information” category had the lowest score, what is considered critical for the full purpose of a birth plan creation; while, “Freedom”, “Ambience and Equipment”, “People”, “Type of birth” and “Pain management” categories achieved the highest scores. Two solutions were considered particularly incomplete. Results show three solutions based on checklists, and one on visual icons. All solutions were based on a delivery approach, not including interactive or audiovisual components.
