Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed that monitor the health status of patients. Dynamic task management functions apply data analytics to discretize continuous data values from monitored patients, and apply association rule mining techniques to prioritized required user tasks. Embodiments of the present disclosure minimize the number of daily action items required by patients. The remaining action items maximize information gain, thereby improving the overall level of patient adherence and satisfaction without losing health monitoring effectiveness.

The method further includes creating a feature set from the contextual data, selecting a subset of features from the feature set, assigning a score to each feature in the subset of features according to the probability that the feature is a predictor of the at least one outcome, and generating a characteristic curve for the at least one outcome from the subset of features, the characteristic curve being based on the scoring. The method further includes calculating the area under the characteristic curve, and using, the area under the characteristic curve, identifying whether the subset of features is a suitable predictor for the at least one outcome.

Abstract: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a leading cause of death in the United States. WANDA is a wireless health project that leverages sensor technology and wireless communication to monitor the health status of patients with CHF. The first pilot study of WANDA showed the system's effectiveness for patients with CHF. However, WANDA experienced a considerable amount of missing data due to system misuse, nonuse, and failure. Missing data is highly undesirable as automated alarms may fail to notify healthcare professionals of potentially dangerous patient conditions. Embodiments of the present disclosure may utilize machine learning techniques including projection adjustment by contribution estimation regression (PACE), Bayesian methods, and voting feature interval (VFI) algorithms to predict both non-binomial and binomial data. The experimental results show that the aforementioned algorithms are superior to other methods with high accuracy and recall.

Abstract: A surface treatment method of an FRP substrate is provided. According to the method, an FRP substrate that is less deformed than a conventional flexible substrate material is used, and surface roughness, which is a drawback of the FRP substrate, is improved so that it may be applied to the fabrication of a device.

Due to the reduced deformation and superior flatness, failures occurring due to misalignment in a photolithography process may be prevented.
