Background: The selection of machine learning (ML) models in the biomedical sciences often relies on global performance metrics. When these metrics are closely clustered among candidate models, identifying the most suitable model for real-world deplo...

This paper investigates the state of substance use disorder (SUD) and the frequency of substance use by utilizing three unsupervised machine learning techniques, based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 (DSM-5) of mental health disorders. We...

Background: To propose an automatic liver and hepatic vessel segmentation solution based on a stacking model and decision fusion. This model combines the decisions of multiple models to achieve increased accuracy. It exhibits improved robustness due...

Background: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) outcome prediction is challenging, and machine learning (ML) can enhance it by leveraging large datasets. Methods: We built an ML model to predict PICU outcomes (“Death vs. Survival”, &ldqu...

Background: Quantum machine learning (QML) holds significant promise for advancing medical image classification. However, its practical application to large-scale, high-resolution datasets is constrained by the limited number of qubits and the inhere...

Background: Virtual coaching can help people adopt new healthful behaviors by encouraging them to set specific goals and helping them review their progress. One challenge in creating such systems is analyzing clients’ statements about their act...

Background/Objectives: Dementia is a leading cause of cognitive decline, with significant challenges for early detection and timely intervention. The lack of effective, user-centred technologies further limits clinical response, particularly in under...

Virtual-reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an emerging treatment for psychiatric disorders that enables immersive and controlled exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli. Recent developments integrate real-time physiological monitoring, including heart...

Background: Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a respiratory virus in the Pneumoviridae family. HMPV is an enveloped, negative-sense RNA virus encoding three surface proteins: SH, G, and F. The highly immunogenic fusion (F) protein is essential for vira...

Breast cancer remains a critical global health challenge, with over 2.1 million new cases annually. This review systematically evaluates recent advancements (2022–2024) in machine and deep learning approaches for breast cancer detection and ris...
