6 Top-Notch Applications of Machine Learning in Healthcare Industries



Wazzup Pilipinas!

The health care sectors are one of the fastest-growing industries. That offers value-based care for millions of people for helping them in saving their life. In today's date, health care industries in America generate more than 1.756 trillion dollars, which is a lot more compared to their per capita income. With disease and accidents becoming more deadly, precise operations are needed to save a life. It can be difficult for a doctor to do, even if he or she has a lot of experience.

With machine learning, the biggest buzzwords of the 21st century. Not only healthcare industries but all industries are evolving at a higher pace. The work process has become more automated than human involvement. And the results yielding are more accurate than it was ever before. With smart machines, the work process has become simple and more effective.
Introduction

Machine Learning has a wide range of applications in the healthcare industry. But the way ML and health care industries are evolving together is quite surprising. In simple words, the application of ML in healthcare industries created many life-saving opportunities in recent times. And we all are grateful for it.

The main goals are to deliver better care to patients, streamline the internal process. Provide hassle-free services, boost staff productivity, and reduce costs. Here are eight top-notch applications of Machine Learning in the healthcare industry. Let's explore each one in turn. 


Robotic-Assisted Surgery; Boon For Humanity

Robotic-assisted surgery is the newest evolution in the market. That is for minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgeries. Instead of dissecting the human body, the machines insert three to four arms inside the human body. Where one arm holds the camera, the other two hold equipment, and the last one helps to move the obstructions.

The advantage of using this process is, it is easy to operate precisely, where humans cannot access it. The major applications are in oncological surgery, pelvic parts, and morbid obesity. 



Virtual Nursing Assistant For Hassle-Free Consultation

Virtual nurse assistants enhance real-time clinical and nonclinical data by improving constant monitoring and interaction with patients. By using analytics, they help patients understand their reports and provide them with better solutions without dedicated doctors.

Virtual nursing assistants use data and analytics to provide more engaging care, better healthcare management, and chronic condition monitoring. 



Dosage Error Reductions is Saving Lifes

Dosages are highly essential for maintaining better health. And the percentage of dosage is so minute that it's very tough for pharmacists, and there are high chances for calculation errors. Misprogramming could cause life loss or health problems. Thus these ML-coded machines track the over-delivery of drugs, electrolytes. Or any other fluids, Dosage Errors Reduction Systems to defense against medicare errors.

Medication errors are a failure in the treatment process. The chances of medication errors are in choosing which medicine or dosage regimen. To use for prescribing the patients or while manufacturing or wrong labeling.

ML algorithms such as KNN algorithm using R can identify patterns with any predictions. Discovering or manufacturing drugs can be expensive. And even a long process because there are several components to consider. 


Automated Image Diagnosis For Precise Reports

Images are one of the largest sources of data in the healthcare industry. That is because you see a lot of diagrams on hospital walls or in the doctor chambers. Thus clinics rely on medical image analysis by serving as helpers to the overworked radiologists by analyzing themselves.

The machine uses time series analysis to provide accurate information about a specific disease. That is about to happen, or in which stage using the automated analysis to deliver faster results.

With ML techniques such as deep analytics, it is even possible to find microscopic deformities in the scanned images. And doctors can diagnose the exact reason behind the health issues.

Advanced techniques like x-ray, CT scan are enough to inspect minor irregularities. But if it's increasing significantly, proper measures are highly essential. To save patients from getting into bad conditions. 


Health Monitoring Over The Internet is Instantly

Though we are in the 21st era, it's even harder to diagnose disease manually. But machines play a crucial role in identifying the disease, monitoring health, and suggesting the next steps. It is easy to detect deadly diseases such as cancer from its early stages.

There are specific ways they took the advantages of machine learning to develop treatments in oncology. The core idea here is to diagnose by automating the process as much as possible, along with different clinical conditions. 



Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) For Patients and Doctors

Register record maintenance is obsolete since the introduction of computers and smart devices. Our present system uses computers to maintain all the connected devices and optimize better networks. As healthcare is crucial, there are always new challenges to offer services to customers.

Maintaining all records in a multispeciality hospital is tedious work. Where many things are happening simultaneously and managing the financial, hospital, and clinical aspects are no less than burdens.

Therefore, hospital information management systems are highly essential to automate different hospital processes. That helps patients to know about the availability of specialist doctors, and also, it helps as a reminder for doctors to the patients they are treating. And it helps to distinguish the emergencies of the patients. 


 
Endpoints

All thanks to machine learning and artificial intelligence for the medical revolution we are witnessing today. Using trending technologies alone won’t help unless some dedicated minds and curiosity are applied to develop new technologies.

For that, specialists need to understand the real problems in the health care sectors and do adequate research to find out the solutions to them.

The recent application of ML to the healthcare sector, such as HIMS, Health Monitoring, and robotic surgery, virtual nursing Assistants, and Automated Image Diagnosis may be costly. But they simplify the various processes in the hospital and play a life-saving role.



For this reason, pharmaceutical companies are investing massive amounts of money for AI and ML to get an extra edge over their competitors in drug discovery.

Justice Marvic Leonen faces impeachment complaint

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Like in the impeachment complaint against ex-Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, Justice Marvic Leonen is accused of lacking integrity for his supposed failure to file his SALNs when he was a law professor. 

Leonen is now facing an impeachment complaint at House of Representatives filed by an Edwin Cordevilla over alleged delays in resolving SC and House election cases and supposed non-filing of SALNS. Filing facilitated by lawyer Lorezon "Larry" Gadon. 

SALN is trending, because a Marcos relative & Larry "Bobo" Gadon filed an impeachment complaint versus Justice Marvic Leonen for violation of Constitution & non-disclosure of SALN.

KALOKOHAN!

This is about BongBong Marcos wanting to get rid of the man standing in his way in his electoral protest versus Leni!

Gadon filed a quo warranto petition in order to remove Leonen as a justice of the SC. The grounds for removal are likened to the case of Sereno for non-filing of SALN and also failure to exhibit impartiality and probity which are qualities of a justice.

SolGen Calida will file a comment to the petition and another petition to remove Leonen from the SC.

Larry Gadon is as criminally insane as Rudy Giuliani who insists that there's widespread fraud in the US election.

And both are blatantly tainted with many legal suit mishaps!  Who needs them as counsels with awful records?  Duh!

Sising sisi tuloy siguro si Leonen nung di niya tinuluyang kasuhan si Calida at yung Jomar Canlas. Hayss! Di sya titigilan ng nga kampon ni Satanas. Kakapal ng mukha. SALN na naman ang ini-issue pero yung SALN ni Duts wala pa rin.

He may be the lone dissenter sa SC pero he failed to do the right thing on several occasions thinking he will be spared from the wrath of Duterte. Here we are now.

Akala niya titigilan na siya nung di niya tinuluyan. Kaso desperate na si BBM. Lapit na 2022 eh.



Gadon held a presscon after filing the impeachment complaint versus Leonen where he stressed that neither Bongbong Marcos nor his election protest has anything to do with the impeachment complaint. Leonen is in charge of PET case versus VP Robredo.

Gadon said he has not talked to Bongbong Marcos about impeachment complaint, but acknowledged Marcos tried to stop him from pursuing quo warranto.

Bongbong earlier said about Gadon: "We are in touch, nagte-text kami."

So now we know one of them is lying.

Gadon said that Rep. Angelo Barba, a cousin of Bongbong Marcos, endorsed the impeachment complaint only because he represents the district where the complainant, Edwin Cordevilla, resides. 

Gadon called Leonen "incompetent, lazy & biased" supposedly because he has 82 pending cases yet to be resolved and is allegedly critical of Duterte admin and Marcoses.

Leonen is among most vocal dissenters in SC even during PNoy's time, writing extensive opinions. 

Gadon acknowledged impeachment complaint is based on newspaper articles from The Manila Times. Asked for documentary evidence, he said there are documents but the originals and certified true copies will be summoned by the House of Reps.

An impeachment case is not a criminal or a regular case filed in regular courts because in an impeachment case the House has the power to summon documents and to summon witnesses.

Gadon not foreclosing possibility Leonen impeachment complaint will follow same route as ousted CJ Maria Lourdes Sereno's who first faced impeachment complaint before quo warranto petition using evidence gathered from House probe. He insisted probe not fishing expedition.

"Easier to impeach Leonen because the issue here is very simple. The grounds are determinable by yes/no. Is it true there are 82 cases you have not decided on?" 

The impeachment complaint accused Leonen of not resolving 37 of 82 pending cases within 24 months, supposedly violating the Constitution. Gadon said provision is self-executing: "Mabigat ito, direct violation of Consti."

Reacting to impeachment complaint vs Leonen, NUPL President Edre Olalia says complaint is defective in form and substance, “suspect and comes not from the purest of intentions.” Cites the need for dissents in SC, one of issues raised vs Leonen in complaint. 

Congressman Barba endorsed the impeachment complaint againstLeonen. Barba is a cousin of BBM. Go figure. And Gadon is their lawyer? Double go figure. Lol.

Gadon can deny all he wants but this Impeachment Complaint has a big "MARCOS" written on it.

If Gadon has so much time in his hands, he can also do something about Pres. Duterte's secret SALNs and medical records?

Duterte’s time changed our metrics.

Confidence level? From 1 to Gadon.

Bastos level? From 1 to Harry.

Never give up level? From 1 to BBM.

Photo op level? From 1 to Go.

Party level? From 1 to Debold.

Marvic Leonen is one Justice in a Supreme Court overwhelmed by Duterte appointees. Takot pa sila? Impeachment effort? It’s not the case outcome they fear... it’s the spirit of dissent and independence.

DIWA. Malayang diwa. That is what this regime fears most. And THAT is our main weapon against tyranny. Never forget.

This current leadership is just too allergic to dissent, to opposing views. The mentality of a tyrant.


DOTr-TRB: SMCTC, NLEX Corp., MPTC ink MOA for interoperability testing of AutoSweep and EasyTrip RFID cashless toll payment systems



Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) today announced that the SMC TPLEX Corp. (SMCTC), the Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC), and the NLEX Corp. (NLEX) have agreed to conduct testing for the interoperability of their systems last Friday, 04 December 2020.

The toll operators and concessionaires signed the memorandum of agreement (MOA) to jointly test the use of AutoSweep and EasyTrip radio frequency identification (RFID) cashless toll payments for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) and on the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and to determine the Read Rate Percentage.

SMCTC, a subsidiary of the San Miguel Holdings Corporation (SMHC), and the concessionaire and the operator of the TPLEX, uses the AutoSweep RFID tag. Meanwhile, the MPTC, the investment holding company of the NLEX Corp. (operator of the NLEX and SCTEX), uses the EasyTrip RFID tag for its electronic toll collection.

The test is part of the ongoing campaign by the DOTr, through the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), to implement a policy of toll interoperability for the fast, efficient, and seamless travel of motorists along various toll roads, as the country continues to recover from the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Signatories to the MOA were San Miguel Holdings Corp. (SMHC) head Lorenzo Formoso III and SMHC CFO Raoul Romulo; NLEX Chief Finance Officer Jose Luigi Bautista and NLEX Corp. Chief Finance Officer Maria Theresa Wells; and MPTC president and CEO Rodrigo Franco.

DOTr Transport Secretary Arthur Tugade witnessed the signing of the MOA.

Secretary Tugade expressed his appreciation to the toll operators and concessionaires for their willingness to fast-track the necessary measures to fully implement the toll interoperability policy for the benefit of motorists and commuters, especially now that measures, such as strict physical distancing and cashless transactions, are being enforced to contain the spread of COVID-19.

“We are grateful to our private partners who have demonstrated their unparalleled support in this project. We need their assistance to fast-track the necessary measures to fully implement toll interoperability. Hindi ‘ho namin ito kakayanin mag-isa. Tulung-tulong ‘ho tayo muli. At dahil sa kinakaharap nating pandemya, kailangan 'ho nating bilisan ang programang ito,” Secretary Tugade said.

Under the MOA, a steering committee will be created to implement and monitor the Parties’ compliance with the agreement. An AutoSweep RFID sticker will be activated using an EasyTrip account, and an EasyTrip RFID sticker will be activated using an AutoSweep account. The test will involve 45 vehicles, composed equally of the different vehicle classifications.

The interoperability testing will be conducted for 14 consecutive days. After the test, the participants will submit their test transaction reports and dashcam video recordings to the steering committee for validation and assessment. The steering committee is given five (5) days, from the complete submission of the data collected, to determine the read rate percentage or the system's performance indicator when comparing RFID infrastructure.

It may be recalled that the Toll Collection Interoperability project was launched in 2017 with the signing of a MOA between the toll operators and concessionaires where they agreed to "timely, smoothly, and fairly implement the interoperability of the electronic toll collection (ETC) systems."
