Lymphocyte-Infiltrated Periportal Region Detection with Structurally-Refined Deep Portal Segmentation and Heterogeneous Infiltration Features 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
The early diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis is essential to reduce hepatitis-related liver function deterioration and mortality. One component of the widely-used Ishak grading system for the grading of periportal… read more

Assessment of Reader Technologies for Over-the-Counter Diagnostic Testing
Assessment of Reader Technologies for Over-the-Counter Diagnostic Testing 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Background: Over-the-counter (OTC) diagnostic testing is on the rise with many in vitro diagnostic tests being lateral flow assays (LFAs). A growing number of these are adopting reader technologies, which… read more

Infra-Red Imaging to Detect Respirator Leak in Healthcare Workers During Fit-Testing Clinic
Infra-Red Imaging to Detect Respirator Leak in Healthcare Workers During Fit-Testing Clinic 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Objective: This study addressed the problem of objectively detecting leaks in P2 respirators at point of use, an essential component for healthcare workers’ protection. To achieve this, we explored the… read more

COVID-19 Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis using only Cough Recordings
Author(s)3: Jordi Laguarta, Ferran Hueto, Brian Subirana
COVID-19 Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis using only Cough Recordings 200 200 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
We hypothesized that COVID-19 subjects, especially including asymptomatics, could be accurately discriminated only from a forced-cough cell phone recording using Artificial Intelligence. To train our MIT Open Voice model we built a data collection pipeline of COVID-19 cough recordings through our website (opensigma.mit.edu) between April and May 2020 and created the largest audio COVID-19 cough balanced dataset reported to date with 5,320 subjects. read more
