    2AI&7D Model of Resistomics to Counter the Accelerating Antibiotic Resistance and the Medical Climate Crisis
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Talukder, A.K.; Chakrabarti, P.; Chaudhuri, B.N.; Sethi, T.; Lodha, R.; Haas, R.E.
    The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis is referred to as ‘Medical Climate Crisis’. Inappropriate use of antimicrobial drugs is driving the resistance evolution in pathogenic microorganisms. In 2014 it was estimated that by 2050 more people will die due to antimicrobial resistance compared to cancer. It will cause a reduction of 2% to 3.5% in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and cost the world up to 100 trillion USD. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics for COVID-19 patients has accelerated the resistance rate. COVID-19 reduced the window of opportunity for the fight against AMR. This man-made crisis can only be averted through accurate actionable antibiotic knowledge, usage, and a knowledge driven Resistomics. In this paper, we present the 2AI (Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence) and 7D (right Diagnosis, right Disease-causing-agent, right Drug, right Dose, right Duration, right Documentation, and De-escalation) model of antibiotic stewardship. The resistance related integrated knowledge of resistomics is stored as a knowledge graph in a Neo4j properties graph database for 24 × 7 access. This actionable knowledge is made available through smartphones and the Web as a Progressive Web Applications (PWA). The 2AI&7D Model delivers the right knowledge at the right time to the specialists and non-specialist alike at the point-of-action (Stewardship committee, Smart Clinic, and Smart Hospital) and then delivers the actionable accurate knowledge to the healthcare provider at the point-of-care in realtime. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Diseasomics: Actionable machine interpretable disease knowledge at the point-of-care
    (Public Library of Science, 2022) Talukder, A.K.; Schriml, L.; Ghosh, A.; Biswas, R.; Chakrabarti, P.; Haas, R.E.
    Physicians establish diagnosis by assessing a patient’s signs, symptoms, age, sex, laboratory test findings and the disease history. All this must be done in limited time and against the backdrop of an increasing overall workload. In the era of evidence-based medicine it is utmost important for a clinician to be abreast of the latest guidelines and treatment protocols which are changing rapidly. In resource limited settings, the updated knowledge often does not reach the point-of-care. This paper presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach for integrating comprehensive disease knowledge, to support physicians and healthcare workers in arriving at accurate diagnoses at the point-of-care. We integrated different disease-related knowledge bodies to construct a comprehensive, machine interpretable diseasomics knowledge-graph that includes the Disease Ontology, disease symptoms, SNOMED CT, DisGeNET, and PharmGKB data. The resulting disease-symptom network comprises knowledge from the Symptom Ontology, electronic health records (EHR), human symptom disease network, Disease Ontology, Wikipedia, PubMed, textbooks, and symptomology knowledge sources with 84.56% accuracy. We also integrated spatial and temporal comorbidity knowledge obtained from EHR for two population data sets from Spain and Sweden respectively. The knowledge graph is stored in a graph database as a digital twin of the disease knowledge. We use node2vec (node embedding) as digital triplet for link prediction in disease-symptom networks to identify missing associations. This diseasomics knowledge graph is expected to democratize the medical knowledge and empower non-specialist health workers to make evidence based informed decisions and help achieve the goal of universal health coverage (UHC). The machine interpretable knowledge graphs presented in this paper are associations between various entities and do not imply causation. Our differential diagnostic tool focusses on signs and symptoms and does not include a complete assessment of patient’s lifestyle and health history which would typically be necessary to rule out conditions and to arrive at a final diagnosis. The predicted diseases are ordered according to the specific disease burden in South Asia. The knowledge graphs and the tools presented here can be used as a guide. © 2022 Talukder et al.
