One of the most critical challenges in managing complex diseases like COVID-19 is to establish an intelligent triage system that can optimize the clinical decision-making at the time of a global pandemic. The clinical presentation and patients’ characteristics are usually utilized to identify those patients who need more critical care. However, the clinical evidence shows an unmet need to determine more accurate and optimal clinical biomarkers to triage patients under a condition like the COVID-19 crisis. Here we have presented a machine learning approach to find a group of clinical indicators from the blood tests of a set of COVID-19 …

The Radiological Technology students have adjusted from the urgent distance learning that was enacted in the Spring of 2020, to the hybrid distance learning that is currently in place. This hybrid distance learning is the same way the incoming class of radiological technology students were taught. Both cohorts of students were tracked over the year by online anonymous surveys. We wanted to know how students were adapting to distance learning, if their focus and motivation varied over the course of the year due to changing pandemic conditions. For the students that were working, what impact did it have on their …


Public Interest Technology – Exploring Covid-19 Health Data, Sarah Zelikovitz Jan 2021

Public Interest Technology – Exploring Covid-19 Health Data, Sarah Zelikovitz

Open Educational Resources

This module is part of a Introduction to Data Science course that covers the different parts of the data science process: data acquisition, cleaning, exploratory data analysis, and modeling. The COVID-19 pandemic has created much interest in public health data, as well as interest in visualization of all types of data. Public health data has a set of challenges that is unique to health data, with HIPAA laws, and real time collection of data. With COVID-19, the challenges are particularly amplified, as data collection and statistics collected are constantly changing in response to feedback from labs, hospitals, drug companies, and …
