Prediction of clinical events in elderly using sensor data : a case study on pulse pressure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The primary goal of this research was to find a link between abnormal levels of daily activities, provided by a sensor monitoring system, and pulse pressure (PP), using data mining algorithms. A widened PP predicts a higher ...
The role of electronic medical record in nation care delivery, development: case study on Ghana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Electronic medical record (EMR) is not only being welcomed by health care providers as a way to improve care delivery, but also serves as a catalyst for development. The purpose of this study is to examine benefits of EMR ...
Repetitive sequence analysis for soybean genome sequences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)

Assisted living facilities residents' and relatives' preferences for family access to their medical and personal information
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this study is to explore privacy preferences of elderly residents and their relatives at assisted living facilities. In the past year, there has been a large increase in the interest and concept of accessing ...
Developing a model of psychiatric visit non-adherence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Non-adherence to psychiatry visits costs the US mental health care system more than one hundred billion dollars annually. Non-adherent visits undermine improvements to patient care quality, erode patient well-being, and ...
Informatic approaches to evolutionary systems biology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The sheer complexity of evolutionary systems biology requires us to develop more sophisticated tools for analysis, as well as more probing and biologically relevant representations of the data. My research has focused on ...
Using pathway correlation profiles for understanding pathway perturbation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Identifying perturbed or dysregulated pathways is critical to understanding the biological processes that change within an experiment. Previous methods identified important pathways that are significantly enriched among ...
