Using machine learning algorithms to guide rehabilitation planning for home care clients

Opinion versus practice regarding the use of rehabilitation services in home care: an investigation using machine learning algorithms

BACKGROUND Resources for home care rehabilitation are limited, and many home care clients who could benefit do not receive rehabilitation therapy. The interRAI Contact Assessment (CA) is a new screening instrument comprised of a subset of interRAI Home Care (HC) items, designed to be used as a preliminary assessment to identify which potential home care clients should be referred for a full ass...

The K-nearest neighbor algorithm predicted rehabilitation potential better than current Clinical Assessment Protocol.

OBJECTIVE There may be great potential for using computer-modeling techniques and machine-learning algorithms in clinical decision making, if these can be shown to produce results superior to clinical protocols currently in use. We aim to explore the potential to use an automatic, data-driven, machine-learning algorithm in clinical decision making. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Using a database co...

Using Machine Learning to Plan Rehabilitation for Home Care Clients: Beyond "Black-Box" Predictions

Elderly Daily Activity-Based Mood Quality Estimation Using Decision-Making Methods and Smart Facilities (Smart Home, Smart Wristband, and Smartphone)

Due to the growth of the aging phenomenon, the use of intelligent systems technology to monitor daily activities, which leads to a reduction in the costs for health care of the elderly, has received much attention. Considering that each person's daily activities are related to his/her moods, thus, the relationship can be modeled using intelligent decision-making algorithms such as machine learn...

Home care after hip fracture in a health planning region.

Health-care restructuring has increased the focus on integrating health care. Therefore the study purpose was to quantify patient movement from hospital to home care before restructuring occurred in a health planning district. Hospital discharge abstracts and home care records identified patients with a hip fracture who used home care (n = 353). Patients from acute care were more likely than re...
