Using machine learning algorithms to guide rehabilitation planning for home care clients
BACKGROUND Targeting older clients for rehabilitation is a clinical challenge and a research priority. We investigate the potential of machine learning algorithms - Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) - to guide rehabilitation planning for home care clients. METHODS This study is a secondary analysis of data on 24,724 longer-term clients from eight home care programs in...
متن کاملOpinion 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...
متن کاملTransparent Machine Learning Algorithm Offers Useful Prediction Method for Natural Gas Density
Machine-learning algorithms aid predictions for complex systems with multiple influencing variables. However, many neural-network related algorithms behave as black boxes in terms of revealing how the prediction of each data record is performed. This drawback limits their ability to provide detailed insights concerning the workings of the underlying system, or to relate predictions to specific ...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملBeyond the Black Box Approach to Ethics!; Comment on “Expanded HTA: Enhancing Fairness and Legitimacy”
In the editorial published in this journal, Daniels and colleagues argue that his and Sabin’s accountability for reasonableness (A4R) framework should be used to handle ethical issues in the health technology assessment (HTA)-process, especially concerning fairness. In contrast to this suggestion, it is argued that such an approach risks suffering from the irrrelevance or insufficiency they war...
