The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans provide science-based advice to promote health and reduce risks for major chronic diseases through specific recommendations for physical activity and healthful eating. Translating the Guidelines into practical and actionable advice requires an educational approach with personalized guidance. The Internet is a valuable resource for promoting regular phys...

We introduce the Business Process Services Portal as an approach to make business processes more actionable and to reduce the entrance barrier for tool developers in adopting novel process-related technologies. The business process services portal makes several process-related web services available in a toolindependent manner, relying on REST technology and making use of the BPMN 2.0 standard....

Current buildings’ performance assessment tools are deficient in their ability to integrate and process building monitoring data to generate actionable information that can assist in achieving a higher level of building performance. Therefore, this paper addresses this problem by proposing the design and implementation of a multi-dimensional data analysis concept for building monitoring data. F...

Identifying molecular cancer drivers is critical for precision oncology. Multiple advanced algorithms to identify drivers now exist, but systematic attempts to combine and optimize them on large datasets are few. We report a PanCancer and PanSoftware analysis spanning 9,423 tumor exomes (comprising all 33 of The Cancer Genome Atlas projects) and using 26 computational tools to catalog driver ge...

Future health ecosystems demand the integration of emerging data technology with an increased focus on preventive medicine. Cybernetics extracts the full potential of data to serve the spectrum of health care, from acute to chronic problems. Building actionable cybernetic navigation tools can greatly empower optimal health decisions, especially by quantifying lifestyle and environmental data. T...

The electronic health record (EHR) provides an unprecedented opportunity to build actionable tools to support physicians at the point of care. In this paper, we introduce deep survival analysis, a hierarchical generative approach to survival analysis in the context of the EHR. It departs from previous approaches in two main ways: (1) all observations, including covariates, are modeled jointly c...

Background Personalised immunotherapy approaches rely on the ability of tumour-derived neoantigens to elicit a T-cell immune reaction able recognise and kill tumour cells expressing them. Clinical attempts leverage power have however yielded mixed results. This can mostly be attributed difficulty finding truly immunogenic peptides from set novel generated by mutations in given cancer patient. I...

Abstract Dashboards are powerful electronic tools that can provide actionable insights for healthcare professionals, especially in support of the increasing senior population. With advancements technology and IoT infrastructure, remote patient monitoring has become a feasible option professionals through dashboards. To best serve diverse needs dashboards should be tailored each user, considerin...

Average revenue per casino hotel resort per year is $87,887,253 [1]. This much revenue attracts fraud and criminals leading to millions in lost revenue [2]. Recently, casinos have begun to track patrons. Their vital statistics and spending habits are all recorded in massive databases. This, however, has led to the challenge of extracting the pertinent information from these data sets and how to...

The search for relevant and actionable information is a key to achieving clinical and research goals in biomedicine. Biomedical information exists in different forms: as text and illustrations in journal articles and other documents, in images stored in databases, and as patients’ cases in electronic health records. This paper presents ways to move beyond conventional text-based searching of th...
