In: Finnish Automation Days.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper we discuss the opportunities of replacing wirelines by wireless connections in automation systems.However, there are several challenges inherently associated with these opportunities. One of the major challengesis how to select a proper wireless connection protocol that achieves at least the minimum requirements ofthe automation system. These system requirements are discussed in the paper. Some wireless communicationsystems which could be used for wireless automation are briefly revised. Finally, we discuss the applicability ofcontemporary wireless protocols for wireless automation and whether a new wireless protocol needs to be definedfor wireless automation systems. The augmentation of wireless technology to automation systems will improvethe performance of those systems and also many new applications may be defined.

- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide and its incidence is on the rise in many populations. The high incidence rate, late diagnosis, and improper treatment planning still form a significant concern. Diagnosis at an early-stage is important for better prognosis, treatment, and survival. Despite the recent improvement in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms, late diagnosis and approach toward precision medicine for OSCC patients remain a challenge. To enhance precision medicine, deep machine learning technique has been touted to enhance early detection, and consequently to reduce cancer-specific mortality and morbidity. This technique has been reported to have made a significant progress in data extraction and analysis of vital information in medical imaging in recent years. Therefore, it has the potential to assist in the early-stage detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, automated image analysis can assist pathologists and clinicians to make an informed decision regarding cancer patients. This article discusses the technical knowledge and algorithms of deep learning for OSCC. It examines the application of deep learning technology in cancer detection, image classification, segmentation and synthesis, and treatment planning. Finally, we discuss how this technique can assist in precision medicine and the future perspective of deep learning technology in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Measuring the Usability and Quality of Explanations of a Machine Learning Web-Based Tool for Oral Tongue Cancer Prognostication
- 2022
-
In: International journal of environmental research and public health. - : MDPI AG. - 1660-4601. ; 19:14

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Machine learning models have been reported to assist in the proper management of cancer through accurate prognostication. Integrating such models as a web-based prognostic tool or calculator may help to improve cancer care and assist clinicians in making oral cancer management-related decisions. However, none of these models have been recommended in daily practices of oral cancer due to concerns related to machine learning methodologies and clinical implementation challenges. An instance of the concerns inherent to the science of machine learning is explainability. Objectives: This study measures the usability and explainability of a machine learning-based web prognostic tool that was designed for prediction of oral tongue cancer. We used the System Usability Scale (SUS) and System Causability Scale (SCS) to evaluate the explainability of the prognostic tool. In addition, we propose a framework for the evaluation of post hoc explainability of web-based prognostic tools. Methods: A SUS- and SCS-based questionnaire was administered amongst pathologists, radiologists, cancer and machine learning researchers and surgeons (n = 11) to evaluate the quality of explanations offered by the machine learning-based web prognostic tool to address the concern of explainability and usability of these models for cancer management. The examined web-based tool was developed by our group and is freely available online. Results: In terms of the usability of the web-based tool using the SUS, 81.9% (45.5% strongly agreed; 36.4% agreed) agreed that neither the support of a technical assistant nor a need to learn many things were required to use the web-based tool. Furthermore, 81.8% agreed that the evaluated web-based tool was not cumbersome to use (usability). The average score for the SCS (explainability) was 0.74. A total of 91.0% of the participants strongly agreed that the web-based tool can assist in clinical decision-making. These scores indicated that the examined web-based tool offers a significant level of usability and explanations about the outcome of interest. Conclusions: Integrating the trained and internally and externally validated model as a web-based tool or calculator is poised to offer an effective and easy approach towards the usage and acceptance of these models in the future daily practice. This approach has received significant attention in recent years. Thus, it is important that the usability and explainability of these models are measured to achieve such touted benefits. A usable and well-explained web-based tool further brings the use of these web-based tools closer to everyday clinical practices. Thus, the concept of more personalized and precision oncology can be achieved.

Mitigating Burnout in an Oncological Unit: A Scoping Review
- 2021
-
In: Frontiers in public health. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2296-2565. ; 9, s. 677915-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide a scoping review on how to address and mitigate burnout in the profession of clinical oncology. Also, it examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can mitigate burnout in oncology.Methods: We searched Ovid Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, for articles that examine how to address burnout in oncology.Results: A total of 17 studies were found to examine how burnout in oncology can be mitigated. These interventions were either targeted at individuals (oncologists) or organizations where the oncologists work. The organizational interventions include educational (psychosocial and mindfulness-based course), art therapies and entertainment, team-based training, group meetings, motivational package and reward, effective leadership and policy change, and staff support. The individual interventions include equipping the oncologists with adequate training that include—communication skills, well-being and stress management, burnout education, financial independence, relaxation, self-efficacy, resilience, hobby adoption, and work-life balance for the oncologists. Similarly, AI is thought to be poised to offer the potential to mitigate burnout in oncology by enhancing the productivity and performance of the oncologists, reduce the workload and provide job satisfaction, and foster teamwork between the caregivers of patients with cancer.Discussion: Burnout is common among oncologists and can be elicited from different types of situations encountered in the process of caring for patients with cancer. Therefore, for these interventions to achieve the touted benefits, combinatorial strategies that combine other interventions may be viable for mitigating burnout in oncology. With the potential of AI to mitigate burnout, it is important for healthcare providers to facilitate its use in daily clinical practices.Conclusion: These combinatorial interventions can ensure job satisfaction, a supportive working environment, job retention for oncologists, and improved patient care. These interventions could be integrated systematically into routine cancer care for a positive impact on quality care, patient satisfaction, the overall success of the oncological ward, and the health organizations at large.

Utilizing Deep Machine Learning for Prognostication of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma-A Systematic Review
- 2021

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The application of deep machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence, has become a growing area of interest in predictive medicine in recent years. The deep machine learning approach has been used to analyze imaging and radiomics and to develop models that have the potential to assist the clinicians to make an informed and guided decision that can assist to improve patient outcomes. Improved prognostication of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) will greatly benefit the clinical management of oral cancer patients. This review examines the recent development in the field of deep learning for OSCC prognostication. The search was carried out using five different databases—PubMed, Scopus, OvidMedline, Web of Science, and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The search was carried time from inception until 15 May 2021. There were 34 studies that have used deep machine learning for the prognostication of OSCC. The majority of these studies used a convolutional neural network (CNN). This review showed that a range of novel imaging modalities such as computed tomography (or enhanced computed tomography) images and spectra data have shown significant applicability to improve OSCC outcomes. The average specificity, sensitivity, area under receiving operating characteristics curve [AUC]), and accuracy for studies that used spectra data were 0.97, 0.99, 0.96, and 96.6%, respectively. Conversely, the corresponding average values for these parameters for computed tomography images were 0.84, 0.81, 0.967, and 81.8%, respectively. Ethical concerns such as privacy and confidentiality, data and model bias, peer disagreement, responsibility gap, patient-clinician relationship, and patient autonomy have limited the widespread adoption of these models in daily clinical practices. The accumulated evidence indicates that deep machine learning models have great potential in the prognostication of OSCC. This approach offers a more generic model that requires less data engineering with improved accuracy.
