Nothing like a PhD defense to kick off the weekend!

Joakim Edin knows all about
Computer-assisted Medical Coding using Explainable Machine Learning - Toward faster and more accurate medical documentation - and now so does this amazing crowd!

Congrats, Joakim!

A yellow sun paints the morning sky orange as the pale light strokes the icy Copenhagen rooftops on a cold, Monday morning.
The lakes in the middle of the city are still frozen and the hazy freezing morning air breathes its own light.

Finally, our breast cancer risk prediction paper has been published!
 
Breast cancer screening tailored to a woman’s individual risk seems beneficial both for each woman and at the societal level — but only if we can measure that risk accurately.
 
In this study, we used the BOADICEA breast cancer risk prediction model, which combines age, genetics, family history, lifestyle/hormonal factors, and mammographic density, and applied it to 50,000 Danish women.
 
Overall, the predictions were well calibrated and provided valid risk estimates.
 
Thank you to all coauthors for your great and valuable contributions.

Bedre forståelse af Polyfarmaci kan redde liv 🧪

I denne 2023-artikel i @plos.org baseret på danske registerdata fandt vores forskere næsten 4000 medicinalkombinationer, der påvirkede genindlæggelse (60%), dødelighed og 8% var forbundet med nedsat nyrefunktion.

Det er klima-dyrt at opbevare sundhedsdata. Så i fremtiden skal vi måske kode det ind i DNA Store mængder data kræver store mængder energi, både når det skal analyseres og opbevares. I fremtiden skal vi måske opbevare vores data på en helt anden måde, siger professor.

Thanks for the tag ❤️🙌

Utochkin is a colleague at Department of Public Health, Center for Complexity and Health, so HDSAI can't claim him 😉

But the question is core, a question with many layers - here's a comment in @universitypost.bsky.social
