The deployment of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare has demonstrated substantial potential for enhancing clinical decision-making, administrative efficiency, and patient outcomes. However, the underrepresentation of diverse groups in the development and application of these models can perpetuate biases, leading to inequitable healthcare delivery. This paper presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis of LLM research for healthcare, including data from January 1, 2021, to July 1, 2024. By analyzing metadata from PubMed and Dimensions, including author affiliations, countries, and funding sources, we assess the diversity of contributors to LLM research. Our findings highlight significant gender and geographic disparities, with a predominance of male authors and contributions primarily from high-income countries (HICs). We introduce a novel journal diversity index based on Gini diversity to measure the inclusiveness of scientific publications. Our results underscore the necessity for greater representation in order to ensure the equitable application of LLMs in healthcare. We propose actionable strategies to enhance diversity and inclusivity in artificial intelligence research, with the ultimate goal of fostering a more inclusive and equitable future in healthcare innovation. © 2024, CC BY.

State governments in the U.S. have been facing difficult decisions involving tradeoffs between economic and health-related outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite evidence of the effectiveness of government-mandated restrictions mitigating the spread of contagion, these orders are stigmatized due to undesirable economic consequences. This tradeoff resulted in state governments employing mandates at widely different ways. We compare the different policies states implemented during periods of restriction ("lockdown") and reopening with indicators of COVID-19 spread and consumer card spending at each state during the first "wave" of the pandemic in the U.S. between March and August 2020. We find that while some states enacted reopening decisions when the incidence rate of COVID-19 was minimal or sustained in its relative decline, other states relaxed socioeconomic restrictions near their highest incidence and prevalence rates experienced so far. Nevertheless, all states experienced similar trends in consumer card spending recovery, which was strongly correlated with reopening policies following the lockdowns and relatively independent from COVID-19 incidence rates at the time. Our findings suggest that consumer card spending patterns can be attributed to government mandates rather than COVID-19 incidence in the states. We estimate the recovery in states that reopened in late April was more than the recovery in states that did not reopen in the same period – 15% for consumer card spending and 18% for spending by high income households. This result highlights the important role of state policies in minimizing health impacts while promoting economic recovery and helps planning effective interventions in subsequent waves and immunization efforts. © 2021, CC BY.

Contribution: Case study of a rural-focused educational program with two components: 1) introducing high school students and teachers to Smart and Connected Technologies (SCTs) that can be used to solve local problems;2) engaging the local community in supporting local technology-driven entrepreneurship. Background: Rural communities typically lag behind in terms of participation in the digital economy, and use of technology in general. Yet they often have the most to gain, due to high rates of self-employment and lower private-sector job opportunities. Research Questions: Can a broadly-scoped rural technology education program lead to improvements in 1) student and teacher SCT awareness, 2) SCT skills, 3) aspirations for future SCT use directed toward entrepreneurship and overall community wellbeing? Methodology: Our multidisciplinary team used a mixed-methods approach to engage a rural high school robotics team as well as the local community. Over the course of one year, students took part in hands-on-training with SCTs ("PETE-Kits" and associated curriculum) and brainstormed entrepreneurial projects via ideation events. Community members were involved at the beginning and end of the project, including judging a "shark-tank" style event where student business ideas using SCT were presented. Findings: Results from student pre/post activity assessments suggest that the program was effective at increasing comfort with technology and combining technical skills with entrepreneurial opportunities. Post surveys from community members, including teachers, demonstrated clear support for the program and an appreciation of how SCTs/digital skills could benefit the local economy and wellbeing.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to find essential risk factors associated with liver function (LF) deteriorations within fluctuating long-term LF and their time-varying effects in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving hepatic radiotherapy and to identify high-risk groups for adverse LF deteriorations and their changes over time in facilitating the prevention of hepatic decompensation and the improvement of survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 133 HCC patients treated by hepatic radiotherapy were enrolled. A study design was conducted to convert posttreatment long-term LF with fluctuating levels over time to recurrent LF events using defined upgrades in a grading scale. The hazard ratios (HR) of pretreatment biochemical, demographic, clinical, and dosimetric factors in developing posttreatment LF events were estimated using the Cox model. Methodologies of the counting process approach, robust variance estimation, goodness-of-fit testing based on the Schoenfeld residuals, and time-dependent covariates in survival analysis were employed to handle the correlation within subjects and evaluate the time-varying effects during long-term follow-up. RESULTS: Baseline LF score before radiotherapy and gender were significant factors. Initial HR in developing LF events was 1.17 (95% CI 1.11-1.23;P < 0.001) for each increase of baseline LF score and kept almost constant over time (HR, 1.00;95% CI 1.00-1.01;P = 0.065). However, no difference was observed regarding initial hazards for gender (HR, 1.00;95% CI 0.64-1.56;P = 0.994), but the hazard for women got higher monthly over time compared with men (HR, 1.04;95% CI 1.01-1.07;P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: High-risk groups for adverse LF deteriorations after hepatic radiotherapy may change over time. Patients with poor baseline LF are vulnerable from the beginning. Women require prevention strategies and careful monitoring for deteriorations at a later stage. © 2024. The Author(s).

In low- and middle-income countries, the substantial costs associated with traditional data collection pose an obstacle to facilitating decision-making in the field of public health. Satellite imagery offers a potential solution, but the image extraction and analysis can be costly and requires specialized expertise. We introduce SatelliteBench, a scalable framework for satellite image extraction and vector embeddings generation. We also propose a novel multimodal fusion pipeline that utilizes a series of satellite imagery and metadata. The framework was evaluated generating a dataset with a collection of 12,636 images and embeddings accompanied by comprehensive metadata, from 81 municipalities in Colombia between 2016 and 2018. The dataset was then evaluated in 3 tasks: including dengue case prediction, poverty assessment, and access to education. The performance showcases the versatility and practicality of SatelliteBench, offering a reproducible, accessible and open tool to enhance decision-making in public health. © The Author(s) 2024.

Smart city governance (SCG) is a new paradigm of urban policy, planning, and management that able to solve emerging challenges of urban areas along with ensuring urban sustainability. Data-driven technology provides an opportunity to transform the conventional practices into smart practices at all levels of urban actors. This study assesses the suitability of big data approaches for ensuring SCG. A systematic desk review has been conducted under the framework of PRISMA. This study reveals a difference among the opinions of scholars on SCG, such as, a group of scholars emphasizes on smart characteristics of technology, people, and their integration, while other group focuses on the digital transformation of urban management practices of key actors like public, private and community. This study argues that SCG is a combined function of public, private, and community that adapted advanced technology like big data in their practices for transformation from conventional one for ensuring urban sustainability. This study offers a number of indicators for the concerned authorities to understand the SCG and take priority-based decisions from systemic data and information. © 2021 IEEE.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent complication of diabetes associated with a significant risk of vision loss. Timely identification is critical to curb vision impairment. Algorithms for DR staging from digital fundus images (DFIs) have been recently proposed. However, models often fail to generalize due to distribution shifts between the source domain on which the model was trained and the target domain where it is deployed. A common and particularly challenging shift is often encountered when the source- and target-domain supports do not fully overlap. In this research, we introduce DRStageNet, a deep learning model designed to mitigate this challenge. We used seven publicly available datasets, comprising a total of 93,534 DFIs that cover a variety of patient demographics, ethnicities, geographic origins and comorbidities. We fine-tune DINOv2, a pretrained model of self-supervised vision transformer, and implement a multi-source domain fine-tuning strategy to enhance generalization performance. We benchmark and demonstrate the superiority of our method to two state-of-the-art benchmarks, including a recently published foundation model. We adapted the gradrollout method to our regression task in order to provide high-resolution explainability heatmaps. The error analysis showed that 59% of the main errors had incorrect reference labels. DRStageNet is accessible at URL [upon acceptance of the manuscript]. © 2023, CC BY.

Background: Despite the increased accessibility and availability of technology in recent years, equality and access to health-related technology remain limited to some demographics. In particular, patients who are older or from rural communities represent a large segment of people who are currently underusing mobile health (mHealth) solutions. System usability continues to hinder mHealth adoption among users with nontraditional digital literacy. Objective: This study aims to investigate if state-of-the-art mobile app interfaces from open-source libraries provide sufficient usability for rural patients with cancer, with minimal design changes and forgoing the co-design process. Methods: We developed Assuage (Network Reconnaissance Lab) as a research platform for any mHealth study. We conducted a pilot study using Assuage to assess the usability of 4 mobile user interfaces (UIs) based on open-source libraries from Apple's ResearchKit and CareKit. These UIs varied in complexity for reporting distress symptoms. Patients with cancer were recruited at the Markey Cancer Center, and all research procedures were conducted in person. Participants completed the distress assessment using a randomly selected UI in Assuage with little to no assistance. Data were collected on participant age, location, mobile app use, and familiarity with mHealth apps. Participants rated usability with the System Usability Scale (SUS), and usability issues were documented and compared. A one-way ANOVA was used to compare the effect of the UIs on the SUS scores. Results: We recruited 30 current or postsurgery patients with cancer for this pilot study. Most participants were aged >50 years (24/30, 80%), from rural areas (25/30, 83%), had up to a high school education (19/30, 63%), and were unfamiliar with mHealth apps (21/30, 70%). General mobile app use was split, with 43% (14/30) of the patients not regularly using mobile apps. The mean SUS score across the UIs was 75.8 (SD 22.2), with UI 3 and UI
