CREATE WISDOM: Projects & Initiatives
Current initiatives and projects in development and as they become published will be available on this page. Come back for updates as the center continues to refine and make available models for wider use.
Current Projects in Development
Chest X-Ray Predictive Model
The Discovery Partners Institute (DPI) aims to build a stronger applied research presence throughout Illinois via a conjoint effort between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), DuPage Medical Group (DMG), and UI Health (UIH). This conjoint effort has led to the development of models that leverage artificial intelligence obtained from chest radiographs (CXRs). These models can be useful in the battle against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and understanding the impact of comorbidities.
Two artificial models will be provided soon:
- For COVID-19, an airspace disease index that correlates with the opacity on frontal CXR. High scores correlate with higher opacities in the lung parenchyma.
- Comorbidity burden evaluated via the risk adjustment score (RAF), where higher scores represent more comorbidity burden.
These models are currently under review and have not yet been published.
DISCLAIMER: These models are for research purposes only and are not intended for clinical use. While information to create these models has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, neither we nor our content providers warrant the accuracy of the information contained on this site. The use of any information obtained by you from our models at or through this site is solely at your own risk.
