    Abstract We present a computational model of workflow in the hospital during a pandemic. The objective is to assist management in anticipating the load of each care unit, such as the ICU, or ordering supplies, such as personal protective equipment, but also to retrieve key parameters that measure the performance of the health system facing a new crisis. The model was fitted with good accuracy to France's data set that gives information on hospitalized patients and is provided online by the French government. The goal of this work is both practical in offering hospital management a tool to deal with the present crisis of COVID-19 and offering a conceptual illustration of the benefit of computational science during a pandemic.

    Abstract The growing fear of virus transmission during the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has called for many scientists to look into the various vehicles of infection, including the potential to travel through aerosols. Few have looked into the issue that gastrointestinal (GI) procedures may produce an abundance of aerosols. The current process of risk management for clinics is to follow a clinic-specific HVAC formula, which is typically calculated once a year and assumes perfect mixing of the air within the space, to determine how many minutes each procedural room refreshes 99% of its air between procedures when doors are closed. This formula is not designed to fit the complex dynamic of small airborne particle transport and deposition that can potentially carry the virus in clinical conditions. It results in reduced procedure throughput as well as an excess of idle time in clinics that process a large number of short procedures such as outpatient GI centers. We present and tested a new cyber-physical system that continuously monitors airborne particle counts in procedural rooms and also at the same time automatically monitors the procedural rooms' state and flexible endoscope status without interfering with the clinic's workflow. We use our data gathered from over 1500 GI cases in one clinical suite to understand the correlation between air quality and standard procedure types as well as identify the risks involved with any HVAC system in a clinical suite environment. Thanks to this system, we demonstrate that standard GI procedures generate large quantities of aerosols, which can potentially promote viral airborne transmission among patients and healthcare staff. We provide a solution for the clinic to improve procedure turnover times and throughput, as well as to mitigate the risk of airborne transmission of the virus.

    Abstract Airborne transmission of viruses, such as the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), in hospital systems are under debate: it has been shown that transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus goes beyond droplet dynamics that is limited to 1 to 2 m, but it is unclear if the airborne viral load is significant enough to ensure transmission of the disease. Surgical smoke can act as a carrier for tissue particles, viruses, and bacteria. To quantify airborne transmission from a physical point of view, we consider surgical smoke produced by thermal destruction of tissue during the use of electrosurgical instruments as a marker of airborne particle diffusion-transportation. Surgical smoke plumes are also known to be dangerous for human health, especially to surgical staff who receive long-term exposure over the years. There are limited quantified metrics reported on long-term effects of surgical smoke on staff's health. The purpose of this paper is to provide a mathematical framework and experimental protocol to assess the transport and diffusion of hazardous airborne particles in every large operating room suite. Measurements from a network of air quality sensors gathered during a clinical study provide validation for the main part of the model. Overall, the model estimates staff exposure to airborne contamination from surgical smoke and biological material. To address the clinical implication over a long period of time, the systems approach is built upon previous work on multi-scale modeling of surgical flow in a large operating room suite and takes into account human behavior factors.

    Abstract Due to the precautions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, utilization of telemedicine has increased quickly for patient care and clinical trials. Unfortunately, teleconsultation is closer to a video conference than a medical consultation, with the current solutions setting the patient and doctor into an evaluation that relies entirely on a two-dimensional view of each other. We are developing a patented telehealth platform that assists with diagnostic testing of ocular manifestations of myasthenia gravis. We present a hybrid algorithm combining deep learning with computer vision to give quantitative metrics of ptosis and ocular muscle fatigue leading to eyelid droop and diplopia. The method works both on a fixed image and frame by frame of the video in real-time, allowing capture of dynamic muscular weakness during the examination. We then use signal processing and filtering to derive robust metrics of ptosis and l ocular misalignment. In our construction, we have prioritized the robustness of the method versus accuracy obtained in controlled conditions in order to provide a method that can operate in standard telehealth conditions. The approach is general and can be applied to many disorders of ocular motility and ptosis.

    Abstract Background: Telemedicine practice for neurological diseases has grown significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.Telemedicine offers an opportunity to assess digitalization of examinations and enhances access to modern computer vision and artificial intelligence processing to annotate and quantify examinations in a consistent and reproducible manner. The Myasthenia Gravis Core Examination (MG-CE) has been recommended for the telemedicine evaluation of patients with myasthenia gravis.
    Objective: We aimed to assess the ability to take accurate and robust measurements during the examination, which would allow improvement in workflow efficiency by making the data acquisition and analytics fully automatic and thereby limit the potential for observation bias.
    Methods: We used Zoom (Zoom Video Communications) videos of patients with myasthenia gravis undergoing the MG-CE. The core examination tests required 2 broad categories of processing. First, computer vision algorithms were used to analyze videos with a focus on eye or body motions. Second, for the assessment of examinations involving vocalization, a different category of signal processing methods was required. In this way, we provide an algorithm toolbox to assist clinicians with the MG-CE. We used a data set of 6 patients recorded during 2 sessions.
    Results: Digitalization and control of quality of the core examination are advantageous and let the medical examiner concentrate on the patient instead of managing the logistics of the test. This approach showed the possibility of standardized data acquisition during telehealth sessions and provided real-time feedback on the quality of the metrics the medical doctor is assessing. Overall, our new telehealth platform showed submillimeter accuracy for ptosis and eye motion. In addition, the method showed good results in monitoring muscle weakness, demonstrating that continuous analysis is likely superior to pre-exercise and post-exercise subjective assessment.
    Conclusions: We demonstrated the ability to objectively quantitate the MG-CE. Our results indicate that the MG-CE should be revisited to consider some of the new metrics that our algorithm identified. We provide a proof of concept involving the MG-CE, but the method and tools developed can be applied to many neurological disorders and have great potential to improve clinical care.
