ANN’s application to facilitate more micro- and meso-level decision-making compared to macro-level may be explained by the type and volume of data required and available to build an effective model. Here, we will see the major Artificial Neural Network Applications. <>stream Now let’s look at how a use case of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare can be implemented by using Deep Learning concepts. Support vector machines are used to model high-dimensional data and are considered state-of-the-art solutions to problems otherwise not amenable to traditional statistical analysis. endobj Table 1 lists the criteria used to screen, include or exclude articles in the review. In an overview of basic concepts, Agatonovic-Kustrin & Beresford (2000) describe ANN gather knowledge by detecting patterns and relationships in data and “learn” through experience. Competitive networks, Kohonen’s self-organizing maps, Hopfield networks) [25]. The most important underlying concepts behind GANs are deep neural networks (namely convolutional neural networks) and backpropagation. <>/Border[0 0 0]/Dest(Rpone.0212356.ref014)>> Despite successful applications, ANN remain problematic in that they offer us little or no insight into the process(es) by which they learn or the totality of the knowledge embedded in them [38]. The change of health care delivery from single to multiple settings and providers has led to new complexities around how health care delivery needs are being structured and managed (e.g., support required for delivering collaborative care or patient participatory medicine) [1]. <>/Border[0 0 0]/Dest(Rpone.0212356.ref010)>> Healthcare costs around the globe are on the rise, creating a strong need for new ways of assisting the requirements of the healthcare system. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212356.t001. grey literature e.g. With the rapid uptake of artificial intelligence to make increasingly complex decisions across different industries, there are a multitude of solutions capable of addressing these health care management challenges; however, there is a paucity of guidance on selecting appropriate methods tailored to the health care industry[2]. CADEX, DUPLEX) can be used to split the data depending on the goals and complexity of the problem [34]. It presents basic and advanced concepts to help beginners and industry professionals get up to speed on the latest developments in soft computing and healthcare systems. healthcare applications, as they allow to find patterns useful for early warnings or diagnosis amongst clusters of highly irregular, sparse and multi-dimensional data. Applications for prediction included developing a risk advisor model to predict the chances of diabetes complication according to changes in risk factors [42], identifying the optimal subset of attributes from a given set of attributes for diagnosis of heart disease [43], modelling daily patient arrivals in the Emergency Department [44]. Writing – original draft, The second in popularity in healthcare, RNNs represent neural networks that make use of sequential information. Neural networks are widely used in different industries. A white paper published by IBM suggests that with increasing capture and digitization of health care data (e.g. Topics categorized under ‘Organizational Behaviour’ include: behaviour and perspectives, crisis or risk management, clinical and non-clinical decision-making, and resource management (S2 Appendix). Multilayer Perceptron, Radial Basis Function) [27, 30]. Project administration, endobj The authors describe regression analysis as a statistical methodology often used for numeric prediction and encompasses identification of distribution trends based on available data. Various types of data (e.g. Drug discovery is another major healthcare field with the extensive use of CNNs. This course will introduce the fundamental concepts and principles of machine learning as it applies to medicine and healthcare. By means of this review, we will identify the nature and extent of relevant literature and describe methodologies and context used. Understanding Neural Networks can be very difficult. endobj Nowadays, ANNs are widely used for medical applications in various disciplines of medicine especially in cardiology. A subfield of AI, machine learning-as-a-service-market (MLaaS), is expected to reach $5.4 billion by 2022, with the health care sector as a notable key driver [9]. Yes Influenced by advancements in the field, decision-makers are taking advantage of hybrid models of neural networks in efforts to tailor solutions to a given problem. Yes As suggested by the literature, the most commonly used taxonomy of ANN found was the feed-forward neural network. controlled terminologies, semantic structuring, standards representing clinical decision logic) has been slow [101] Patel et al. depth pertaining to layers of the network), was trained to classify 1.2 million images in record-breaking time as part of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge [92]. Preliminary diagnosis of high-risk patients (for disease or attributes) using neural networks provide hospital administrators with a cost-effective tool in time and resource management [16]. A small portion (10) of studies applied ANN at a macro level of decision-making mainly between policy and decision-makers across multiple facilities or health care systems, out of which 2 referenced macro- only. ANN gained prominence with the publication of a few seminal works including the publication of the backpropagation learning rule for multilayered feed-forward neural networks [22]. In health care, neural network models have been successfully used to predict quality determinants (responsiveness, security, efficiency) influencing adoption of e-government services [97]. Applications of ANN in health care include clinical diagnosis, prediction of Our findings warrant the understanding of perspectives and beliefs of those adopting ANN-based solutions in clinical and non-clinical decision-making. The most successful applications of ANN are found in extremely complex medical situations [13]. Several limitations of ANN are identified in the literature: they are limited in their ability to explicitly identify possible causal relationships, they are challenging to use in the field, they are prone to over fitting, model development is empirical potentially requiring several attempts to develop an acceptable model [37], and there are methodological issues related to model development [31]. In supervised learning, every input pattern used to train the network is associated with an output pattern. Yes Examples of Neural Network Business Applications. Clinical applications of ANN-based solutions can have implications on the changing role of health care providers as well team dynamics and patterns in workflow. Its application is particularly valuable under one or more of several conditions: when sample data show complex interaction effects or do not meet parametric assumptions, when the relationship between independent and dependent variables is not strong, when there is a large unexplained variance in information, or in situations where the theoretical basis of prediction is poorly understood [23]. Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of our query, the search strategy was designed to identify literature from multiple databases according to the key disciplines of Health Administration (Medline and Embase), Computer Science (ACM Digital Library and Advanced Technologies & Aerospace Database), and Business and Management (ABI/Inform Global and JSTOR). 15 0 obj Furthermore, the process is described to consist of a learning step (when a classification model is constructed) and a classification step (when a model is used to predict class labels for a given data). 13 0 obj A2A. Artificial neural … Conceptualization, <> Key success factors or differentiators that define effective machine learning technology in health care include access to extensive data sources, ease of implementation, interpretability and buy-in as well as conformance with privacy standards [9]. endobj Data mining is the mathematical core of a larger process of knowledge discovery from databases otherwise referred to as the ‘KDD process [78]. In reinforcement learning, the network is provided with feedback on if computation performance without presenting the desired output [30]. Originally developed as mathematical theories of the information-processing activity of biological nerve cells, the structural elements used to describe an ANN are conceptually analogous to those used in neuroscience, despite it belonging to a class of statistical procedures [23]. Poor interpretability remains a signicant challenge with implementing ANN in health care [90]. Health care organizations are leveraging machine-learning techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANN), to improve delivery of care at a reduced cost. Using more training data improves the classification model, whereas using more test data contributes to estimating error accurately [35]. patient health records, photos, reviews, social media data from mobile applications and devices) remain a critical unmet need for hospitals [107, 111]. Methodology, conducted literature reviews of ANN used in business (from 1988–1995) [76] and finance (1990–1996) [77], at that time describing the promise of neural networks for increasing integration with other existing or developing technologies [76, 77]. Literature suggests that current reviews on applications of ANN are limited in scope and generally focus on a specific disease [19] or a particular type of neural network [20], or they are too broad (i.e. Methods include naïve Bayesian classification, support vector machines, and k-nearest-neighbour classification [32]. ANN learn (supervised, unsupervised or reinforcement) based on the iterative adjustment of connection weights using optimization algorithms such as the backpropagation rule. endobj Types of ANN used included ANN (36 articles), feed-forward networks (25 articles), or hybrid models (23 articles); reported accuracy varied from 50% to 100%. endobj Formal analysis, Overall, 3,457 articles were imported for screening, out of which (after removal of duplicates) 3,397 were screened for titles and abstracts to give a total of 306 articles used for full-text review (Fig 2). ANN can have single or multiple layers [23], and consist of processing units (nodes or neurons) that are interconnected by a set of adjustable weights that allows signals to travel through the network in parallel and consecutively[13, 26]. In 1986, backpropagation was proven as a general purpose and simple procedure, powerful enough for a multi-layered neural network to use and construct appropriate internal representations based on incoming data [83]. 18 0 obj This is because handheld devices like the Palm Pilot are becoming very popular. <>stream <>/Border[0 0 0]/Dest(Rpone.0212356.ref006)>> The book explores applications in soft computing and covers empirical properties of artificial neural network (ANN), evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic and statistical techniques. ANN can be used to perform nonlinear statistical modeling and provide new alternatives to logistic regression, the most commonly used method for developing predictive models for dichotomous outcomes in medicine [31]. We found that researchers often adopted a hybrid approach when using neural networks. Identified articles were de-duplicated and imported to EndNote as a reference manager and to Covidence, a web-based platform, for screening. As practical and flexible modelling tools, ANN have an ability to generalize pattern information to new data, tolerate noisy inputs, and produce reliable and reasonable estimates [23]. Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. Although ANN do not require knowledge of data source, they require large training sets due to the numerous estimated weights involved in computation [26]. A few years later, the ability of neural networks to learn any type of function was demonstrated [84], suggesting capabilities of neural networks as universal approximators [85]. Also referred to as the generalized delta rule, backpropagation refers to how an ANN is trained or ‘learns’ based on data.
