A Cloud-based Risk Stratification Platform Cardiovascular Disease, Depression and Comorbidities
A new cloud-based platform integrates artificial intelligence (AI) models for accurate, cost-effective diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression. This tool aids clinicians in identifying patients with both conditions for better management.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Computational Psychiatry
Background:
- Co-occurrence of depression and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is clinically significant.
- Accurate identification of patients with comorbid depression and CVD is crucial for optimal management.
- Existing research lacks integrated tools for diagnosing both conditions simultaneously.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a cloud-based platform integrating AI models for diagnosing depression and CVD.
- To provide an easier, accurate, and cost-effective diagnostic solution.
- To facilitate clinical practice by enabling seamless AI model integration.
Main Methods:
- Development of a cloud-enabled computing unit utilizing REST architecture.
- Integration of AI algorithms and data exchange services.
- Implementation using Python 3, Java SDK 11, MySQL, and Payara Application Server on a Linux VM.
Main Results:
- A cost-effective, accurate, and efficient platform for risk stratification of depression and CVD.
- Seamless and transparent interfacing of AI models and applications for end-users.
- Successful hosting on a Linux Virtual Machine.
Conclusions:
- The developed platform represents a state-of-the-art solution for CVD and depression risk stratification.
- Cardiologists and psychiatrists can utilize this platform for improved patient identification and further examination.
- The integrated approach enhances the management of comorbid cardiovascular and depressive conditions.
