11 am – Research Proposal: Development and Implementation of Personalized Waiting Time Prediction Tool for Emergency Department (ED) Rooms, By: Hossein Naseri PhD

Learning Objectives:

1. How natural language processing (NLP) can aid in extracting pain information from radiography images of patients with bone metastases.

2. How to integrate NLP and radiomics for predicting pain using radiography images of patients with bone metastases.

3. Potential solutions for personalized waiting time estimation.

Question: How can advanced technologies like natural language processing (NLP) be harnessed to improve the analysis of radiography images for patients with bone metastases, particularly in the context of pain prediction? What potential benefits or challenges do you foresee in implementing a personalized waiting time prediction tool in Emergency Department (ED) rooms, and how might the integration of technology play a role in addressing these factors?
