“…In addition, the ontology will form the base for the development of the intelligent systems that can provide real‐time support for health care professionals in care delivery. Together with other ontologies that have been developed and applied in dementia care, 79‐81 DRANPTO has opened the opportunity to realize all these possibilities, and thus has made an important contribution to the research community in the agitation management domain and will help improve the quality of life for people living with dementia.…”
Introduction
A large volume of clinical care data has been generated for managing agitation in dementia. However, the valuable information in these data has not been used effectively to generate insights for improving the quality of care. Application of artificial intelligence technologies offers us enormous opportunities to reuse these data. For health data science to achieve this, this study focuses on using ontology to coding clinical knowledge for non‐pharmacological treatment of agitation in a machine‐readable format.
Methods
The resultant ontology—Dementia‐Related Agitation Non‐Pharmacological Treatment Ontology (DRANPTO)—was developed using a method adopted from the NeOn methodology.
Results
DRANPTO consisted of 569 concepts and 48 object properties. It meets the standards for biomedical ontology.
Discussion
DRANPTO is the first comprehensive semantic representation of non‐pharmacological management for agitation in dementia in the long‐term care setting. As a knowledge base, it will play a vital role to facilitate the development of intelligent systems for managing agitation in dementia.
“…Dementia is the staggering sicknesses that lack broad consideration from relatives and guardians. Since the side effects of dementia could be very mind-boggling and may change ramblingly, family and guardian experience the ill effects of gloom and high mental worry from patient consideration [1]. In older adults, the symptom of dementia is decreased mobility and increased risk of falls [2].…”
The expanding recurrence of dementia happening is a disturbing patterning that has incited dire research intending to avert the improvement of the sickness. Diagnosing dementia in its beginning periods is an urgent advance in averting the improvement of the ailment into exacerbated side effects. Early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI) is the early symptom of dementia. This can be analyzed using mapping mind associations utilizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In the approach, for improving the correlational block, we presented an enhanced classifier also, for improving the performance of discriminative block, an optimized LDA is to be proposed. For correlational analysis, Deep Neural Network (DNN) is presented in this work. Besides, for discriminative analysis, a novel and efficient feature selection method is presented. Fisher criterion is used to select the most discriminatory and appropriate features to ensure consistent feature selection and classifier learning goals and to improve the classifier's performance. In the Mat lab framework this proposed method is implemented. The performance of this proposed approach is evaluated concerning Accuracy, Sensitivity, and Specificity
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
