De Vreede Techniek in Berkel en Rodenrijs levert op maat gesneden robotinstallaties voor de (glas)tuinbouw die helpen bij personeelsschaarste, het elimineren van zwaar werk en/of productievergroting. Met het Kenniscentrum Business Innovation van Hogeschool Rotterdam is De Vreede nu bezig om projecten …

Background: Modern modeling techniques may potentially provide more accurate predictions of dichotomous outcomes than classical techniques. Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the predictive performance of eight modeling techniques to predict mortality by frailty. Methods: We performed a …

Predictive maintenance is the promise of the future in infrastructure asset management. Predictive maintenance more and more uses sensor data. Sensors are relatively cheap, and their data mostly comes in huge quantities. Trends or flags may be observed in the data, sometimes with traditional statistical …

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education (HE) to shift to emergency remote teaching (ERT), subsequently influencing academic belonging and social integration, as well as challenging students' engagement with their studies. This study investigated influences on student engagement during ERT, …

The more uncertainty, the more we cling to uncertainty reduction, such as predictive technologies (data science, AI) and futurologists, who promise a technological heaven on earth, even though we now really know that every new technology brings about a world of new uncertainties (or downright problems). …

Abstract: Background: Little is known about frailty among patients hospitalized with heart failure (HF). To date, the limited information on frailty in HF is based on a unidimensional view of frailty, in which only physical aspects are considered when determining frailty. The aims of this study were …

The Nutri-Score front-of-pack label, which classifies the nutritional quality of products in one of 5 classes (A to E), is one of the main candidates for standardized front-of-pack labeling in the EU. The algorithm underpinning the Nutri-Score label is derived from the Food Standard Agency (FSA) nutrient …

Background & aims: Overweight and obesity can cause several health risks, and weight loss can help reduce them. However, weight loss in older adults is associated with loss of muscle mass and bone mineral density. To prevent this, it is important to monitor changes in FFM. Bioelectrical impedance analysis …

Background While low back pain occurs in nearly everybody and is the leading cause of disability worldwide, we lack instruments to accurately predict persistence of acute low back pain. We aimed to develop and internally validate a machine learning model predicting non-recovery in acute low back pain …

Purpose: Appointment attendance is critical in monitoring health and well-being of children. Low income Medicaid-insured families with newborns often experience social risks that may affect attendance. This project sought to characterize social risk factors present at first newborn visits predictive …
