Abstract
Healthcare as we know it is in the process of going through a massive change - from episodic to continuous, from disease-focused to wellness and quality of life focused, from clinic centric to anywhere a patient is, from clinician controlled to patient empowered, and from being driven by limited data to 360-degree, multimodal personal-public-population physical-cyber-social big data-driven. While the ability to create and capture data is already here, the upcoming innovations will be in converting this big data into smart data through contextual and personalized processing such that patients and clinicians can make better decisions and take timely actions for augmented personalized health. In this talk, we will discuss how use of AI techniques on semantically integrated patient-generated health data (PGHD), environmental data, clinical data, and public social data is exploited to achieve a range of augmented health management strategies that include self-monitoring, self-appraisal, self-management, intervention, and Disease Progression Tracking and Prediction. We will review examples and outcomes from a number of applications, some involving patient evaluations, including asthma in children, bariatric surgery/obesity, mental health/depression, that are part of the Kno.e.sis kHealth personalized digital health initiative.

Proposed Model for Chest Disease Prediction using Data Analyticsvivatechijri
Chest diseases if not properly diagnosed in early stages can be fatal. Because of lack of skilled
knowledge or experiences of real life practitioners, many a times one chest disease is wrongly diagnosed for the
other, which leads to wrong treatment. Due to this the actual disease keeps on growing and become fatal. For
example, muscular chest pains can be treated for the heart disease or COPD is treated for Asthma. Early
prediction of chest disease is crucial but is not an easy task. Consequently, the computer based prediction system
for chest disease may play a significant role as a pre-stage detection to take proper actions with a view to recover
from it. However the choice of the proper Data Mining classification method can effectively predict the early
stage of the disease for being cured from it. In this paper, the three mostly used classification techniques such as
support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbour (KNN) and artificial neural network (ANN) have been studied
with a view to evaluating them for chest disease prediction.
HEALTH PREDICTION ANALYSIS USING DATA MININGAshish Salve
As we know that health care industry is completely based on assumptions, which after get tested and verified via various tests and patient have to be depend on the doctors knowledge on that topic . so we made a system that uses data mining techniques to predict the health of a person based on various medical test results. so we can predict the health of that person based on that analysis performed by the system.The system currently design only for heart issues, for that we had used Statlog (Heart) Data Set from UCI Machine Learning Repository it includes attributes like age, sex, chest pain type, cholesterol, sugar, outcomes,etc.for training the system. we only need to passed few general inputs in order to generate the prediction and the prediction results from all algorithms are they merged together by calculating there mean value that value shows the actual outcome of the prediction process which entirely works in background

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

5. A Tsunami of
Information
Introduction by Ian McCrae / Orion Health Founder and CEO
15 minutes. That’s how long your doctor has to see
you, assess your complaint, diagnose a solution, and
see you out the door—hopefully on the path back to
wellness.
This isn’t much time when you consider the wealth
of information that he or she has to consider: your
patient record, the medical research relevant to your
complaint, the answers about your condition that you
provide, and the basic examination (“say aaaaaaah”)
that is carried out.
So how will your doctor cope when faced with the
tsunami of healthcare information that will occur when
it is routine for your patient record to include data
about your genome, your microbiome (microorganisms
in your body), and your fitness regime?
Your electronic health record is fast becoming the
most powerful tool in the medical toolkit. All the
information will be stored in the cloud. It will have to
be, because the size of the electronic file containing
your complete patient record is estimated to be as
much as six terabytes. That’s a quarter of the whole of
Wikipedia!
A data file that large is required to enable the practice
of precision medicine. This is a new revolution in
healthcare. It is the ability to target healthcare
treatment specifically for an individual.
In addition to improving health outcomes, precision
medicine will save vital health dollars because it is
enabled by unique data insights that lead to more
targeted treatments.
6. For example, when I had my genome mapped I found
out that ibuprofen doesn’t work for me. The only effect
that drug has is on my wallet—that is, what it costs me
to buy the pills.
So how will a doctor process all this new information
in the short time in which they see their patient?
The truth is they can’t. It will require high-powered
computing that uses insights from machine learning—
a type of artificial intelligence that enables computers
to find hidden insights without being programmed.
Algorithms will scan vast data sets and identify
recommended treatment plans tailored to individuals.
There are two things required for the successful
application of machine learning in healthcare—
intelligent algorithms and rich data sets.
Orion Health is at the forefront of developing both
areas. We have invested in the Precision Driven Health
initiative, a world-leading, multi-million-dollar research
program that is investigating how the application of
machine learning will enable new healthcare solutions
that are more precisely tailored to a person’s unique
characteristics. And since our software manages over
100 million patient records globally, we believe we’re
one of the few health software companies in the world
capable of carrying out machine learning analysis.
We have produced this brief introduction to machine
learning because this is an exciting time to be part of
the global healthcare sector. As a discipline, health is
transforming into a mathematical science, but at its
heart, it will always be about enabling the perfect care
for everyone, anywhere in the world.

8. A Short Introduction
to Machine Learning
By Dr. Kathryn Hempstalk / Senior Data Scientist, Precision Driven Health
Self-driving cars, Siri, and websites that recommend
items based on the purchasing decisions of other
people: what do these have in common? They are
all real-world examples of machine learning.
Machine learning is when a computer uses an
algorithm to understand the data it has been given and
recognizes patterns.
We call the process of learning “training,” and the
output that this process produces is called a “model.”
A model can be provided new data and reason against
it based on what the model has previously learned.
Machine learning models determine a set of rules
using vast amounts of computing power that a human
brain would be incapable of processing. The more data
a machine learning model is fed, the more complex the
rules and the more accurate the predictions.
Whereas a statistical model is likely to have an inherent
logic that can be understood by most people, the rules
created by machine learning are often beyond human
comprehension because our brains are incapable of
digesting and analyzing enormous data sets.
In the following section, we will look at three types
of models used in machine learning—classification,
clustering, and regression—and review the concept of
deep learning.
9. Classification
The purpose of the classification model is to determine
a label or category—it is either one thing or the other.
We train the model using a set of labeled data.
As an example, if we wanted to predict whether a
person’s mole is cancerous or not, we would create
a model using a data set of mole scans from 1,000
patients that a doctor has already examined for
cancer. We would also feed the model lots of other
data, such as a patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, and
place of residence.
We would then create a model which will enable us to
decide whether it depicts cancer.
The graph (Fig. 1) is an example of a classification
model. The dotted line is the rule determined by the
model that best separates the positive and negative
results, based on the data provided during training.
If we were using our mole scan example, then
in this graph the circles are the mole scans that
show that cancer is likely, and the squares are
the mole scans that show that cancer is unlikely.
Each time we train the algorithm with additional data,
it should improve the accuracy of the prediction.
Classification Model (Fig. 1)

positive result

negative result
Dotted line is the
rule determined
by the algorithm
10. Clustering
We would create a clustering model if we had a whole
bunch of data, didn’t have a determined outcome,
and just wanted to see if there were any distinctive
patterns.
An example might be that of a primary care provider—
in an effort to see if there is a pattern to the type of
complaints she has seen in the past year—creating a
model based on a year’s worth of patient data. The
model might show that people living in a certain area
have higher rates of cancer, which would warrant
further examination (e.g., is there an issue with the
water supply? Is there pollution from a nearby factory?).
The graph (Fig. 2) shows the rules (dotted lines)
determined by the algorithm using the data set. The
patient files are clustered into various groups, but a
human must label each group.
Clustering Model (Fig. 2)
Dotted lines are the
rules determined by
the algorithm
11. Regression
A regression model is created when we want to find
out a number (e.g., how many days before a patient
discharged from the hospital with a chronic condition
such as diabetes will return).
We start with a data set that is already labeled with
numbers (e.g., how many days before each patient
returns to the hospital) and feed this and the patient’s
other data (e.g., age, gender, etc.) into the model. The
model tries to learn a pattern that describes how long
before a patient returns to the hospital.
The graph (Fig. 3) plots various patients against
the number of days between hospitalizations, and
the dotted line is the model that best predicts the
outcome. This regression model predicts the time
before rehospitalization for a new patient.
Regression Model (Fig. 3)
Data set plotted to
find out a number
(e.g., how many
days before a
patient returns to
the hospital)
12. Deep Learning
“Deep learning” is an often-misused buzzphrase
that refers to a special case of a machine learning
algorithm: the artificial neural network.
A neural network is an algorithm inspired by the way
a brain works. It involves many nodes (or neurons)
that are often connected together in layers to form a
network. A neural network must have at least
two layers—a layer of inputs and a layer of outputs.
There may be many “hidden” layers between the input
and output layers, and these are used to extract more
information by exploiting structure in the data. A
network is considered “deep” if it has more than one
hidden layer (see the “Deep Learning Neural Network”
diagram [opposite], which illustrates the complexity of
a neural network). Neural networks are great at solving
problems where the data is highly structured—like
an image of a brain scan—but they are “black box”
algorithms. In other words, it is hard to describe to a
human being the patterns found by neural networks.
Despite being around for over 50 years, neural
networks have only become popular and feasible in
the last 10 years thanks to advances in both algorithm
design and computing power.

Data is Critical
Many major advances in machine learning actually occur from data sets, not algorithms. When IBM’s Deep
Blue defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasperov, the algorithm was 14 years old, but the data set was
only six years old. Google learned to translate Chinese to English using a 17-year-old algorithm and data
they collected in 2015. On average, the time it takes for a major breakthrough to be made is 18 years for
algorithms, but only three years for data sets.

14. While the healthcare sector is being transformed by
the ability to record massive amounts of information
about patients, the enormous volume of data being
collected is impossible for human beings to analyze.
Machine learning provides a way to find patterns
and reason about data, which enables healthcare
professionals to move to personalized care known as
precision medicine.
There are many possibilities for how machine learning
can be used in healthcare, and all of them depend on
having sufficient data and permission to use it.
Previously, alerts and recommendations for a
medical practice have been developed based on
external studies, and hard-coded into their software.
However, that can limit the accuracy of that data
because it might come from different populations
Applying Machine
Learning to Healthcare
By Dr. Kevin Ross / Research Director, Precision Driven Health
and environments. Machine learning, on the other
hand, can be refined using data that is available in
that particular environment (e.g., anonymized patient
information from a hospital and the area it serves).
An example of how healthcare providers can take
advantage of machine learning is offering the ability
to predict hospital readmission for chronically ill
patients.
Identifying those patients most at risk of being
readmitted makes it possible for providers to offer
better post-discharge support. By lowering the
rate of readmission, it not only improves the lives
of those most at risk, it also helps save precious
healthcare dollars, which can be used for wellness
and prevention programs.

16. As an example, we undertook preliminary research on
a publicly available data set of 100,000 anonymized
diabetic patient records from 130 U.S. hospitals.
The analysis showed that machine learning
approaches were 20 percent better at assessing the
readmission risk of patients than the standard
LACE risk-scoring approach currently used by U.S.
healthcare providers. LACE is calculated based on
the patient’s Length of stay, Acute admission through
emergency, Comorbidities (other illnesses), and
Emergency department visits in the past six months.
The machine learning models achieved a greater
accuracy because they were able to explore patient
and disease-specific factors—in addition to the
factors already considered by LACE.
Those patients determined by tools such as LACE
to be at the highest risk of readmission receive
the greatest amount of post-acute care. The more
accurate the tool for identifying at-risk patients, the
more targeted healthcare intervention can be in order
to reduce readmission rates and lower costs.
We calculated that the potential savings from the
machine learning models were four times higher than
those from LACE.
Predicting the risk of readmission following a hospital
stay is just one example of how machine learning can
be applied to solve some of the most pressing issues in
healthcare delivery. Other examples include:
• Finding combinations of drugs that should not be
taken together
• Classifying imagery, such as mole scans, to
identify disease
• Assisting with decisions about what condition a
patient might have, or what treatment might work
the best
This is an exciting field that seeks to assist healthcare
providers—whether practicing in the hospital or in the
community—in creating better health outcomes for
their patients. We have only just begun to explore
the possibilities.
