Ontologies, AI and Electronic Health Records

More about the Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) and previous meetings.

Feb 23 - 24, 2023 - Charleston, SC

Charleston

Background

The Clinical and Translational Science Ontology Group (CTSOG) invites you to join us February 23-24, 2023, in Charleston, SC to discuss the role of ontologies in improving electronic health records (EHR) systems by advancing semantic interoperability, translational research, and artificial intelligence (AI). As health data increases in volume and complexity, and artificial intelligence applications gain momentum, the need for careful planning and interoperability becomes more critical. The purpose of this workshop is to explore new paradigms in EHRs, by examining successes and failures of ontologies and AI in different areas of biomedicine and their role in equitable healthcare.

Themes

  • Improving the EHR with ontologies and with AI
  • The functions of the EHR and other healthcare documents

Special Focus Areas:

  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Mental health
  • EHR across the lifespan

  • Barry Smith and Jobst Landgrebe: AI and Medicine, with a special focus on ChatGPT

Abstract: How are we to explain the peculiar tendency of ChatGPT to throw up what are called ‘hallucinations’? To answer this question we will draw on our book Why Machines Will Never Rule the World, whose core thesis is that an artificial intelligence that could equal or exceed human intelligence—sometimes called "artificial general intelligence" (AGI)—is for mathematical reasons impossible. The argument for this thesis rests on the fact that (1.) human intelligence is a capability of a complex dynamic system—the human brain and central nervous system, and (2.) systems of this sort (like all organic systems) cannot be modelled mathematically in a way that would allow the models to operate inside a computer. We survey on this basis the potential of AI in the future of clinical and translational research.

  • Justin Reese: Unsupervised machine learning to define subtypes of long COVID using the Human Phenotype Ontology. Authors

Abstract: Stratification of patients with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, or long COVID) would allow precision clinical management strategies. However, long COVID is incompletely understood and characterized by a wide range of manifestations that are difficult to analyze computationally. Additionally, the generalisability of machine learning classification of COVID-19 clinical outcomes has rarely been tested.

We present a method for defining subtypes of long COVID by computationally modeling PASC phenotype data and applying unsupervised machine learning. We extracted Long COVID phenotype data expressed as HPO (Human Phenotype Ontology) terms from electronic healthcare records (EHRs), and then used semantic similarity of phenotype data to calculate a matrix of pairwise patient similarity. This matrix was then used to clustered patients using unsupervised machine learning (k means clustering).

We identified six clusters of PASC patients, each with distinct profiles of phenotypic abnormalities, including clusters with distinct pulmonary, neuropsychiatric, and cardiovascular abnormalities, and a cluster associated with broad, severe manifestations and increased mortality. There was significant association of cluster membership with a range of pre-existing conditions and measures of severity during acute COVID-19. We assigned new patients from other healthcare centers to clusters by maximum semantic similarity to the original patients, and showed that the clusters were generalisable across different hospital systems. The increased mortality rate originally identified in one cluster was consistently observed in patients assigned to that cluster in other hospital systems.

Semantic phenotypic clustering provides a foundation for assigning patients to stratified subgroups for natural history or therapy studies on PASC.

  • Yonghui Wu: A large language model for electronic health records.

Abstract: Natural language processing (NLP) powered by pretrained language models is the key technology for medical AI systems utilizing clinical narratives. We develop from scratch a large clinical language model—GatorTron—using >90 billion words of text (including >82 billion words of de-identified clinical text). GatorTron models scale up the clinical language model from 110 million to 8.9 billion parameters and improve five clinical NLP tasks, which can be applied to medical AI systems to improve healthcare delivery.
