I am pleased to share our first hashtag#publication for 2024!
In this study, we describe a novel comprehensive multi-dimensional validation methodology for clustering patients, integrating both syntactic (based on data’s quantitative attributes) and semantic (based on meaning) distance measures. The novel methodology is termed Clustering, Distance measures, and Iterative Statistical and Semantic Validation (CDI-SSV). The CDI phase serves as the initial step, involving the evaluation of cluster quality, the impact of different starting seeds, and the consistency of clusters across various algorithms and pre-defined values of k. Within- and between-consistency checks, along with evaluations of internal semantic consistency, are performed to assess the optimal algorithm and values of k. In the subsequent SSV phase, an external semantic analysis of the results is conducted, with a particular focus on the clinical context, thus enhancing the validation process. Finally, machine learning techniques are employed to validate the results, and their interpretation is facilitated by SHAP (Shapley additive explanations) values.
We employed the CDI-SSV methodology in clustering and classifying fibromyalgia patients, demonstrating its potential applicability beyond fibromyalgia to other medical domains. The identification of distinct profiles within fibromyalgia patients allows for a more targeted and personalized approach to diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Ultimately, this work contributes to the evolving field of personalized medicine, offering data-driven insights and evidence-based practices that can transform patient care.
This research is part of the Rheumatic Monitor study, which focuses on advancing personalized medicine by identifying patterns that predict the severity of rheumatic diseases and treatment response. In the Rheumatic Monitor study, we developed a mobile application for iPhone and Android operating systems that collects baseline and dynamic questionnaires and includes an option to report on pain attacks and visualize pain reports and a large longitudinal EMR-based repository of 52,000 rheumatic disease patients.. More about the Rheumatic Monitor study and the application can be found on the research website: https://lnkd.in/di2SVP4C.

This week, I was honored to present at the annual conference of “Asaf Association for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”.
I presented our findings from a study we conducted among patients with Fibromyalgia in Israel in collaboration with Asaf and Inbar associations. 
Following the lectures, I joined the expert panel to discuss important topics related to the management of fibromyalgia patients. The conference was a great success with a wonderful opportunity for clinicians, researchers, and patients to gather face-to-face. Special thanks to the organizers from Asaf and Inbar associations for the invitation and congratulations on the successful event! 
This is a part of our study "RheumaticMonitor", a new architecture for screening, monitoring, and analyzing the big data accumulating over time from rheumatic disease patients RheumaticMonitor is a collaborative effort between our Hadassa Medical centers the hebrew university jerusalem and Prof Yuval Shahar from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev granted by the Israeli Ministry of Science and Technology.

As a part of RheumaticMonitor study, our team developed a unique application for monitoring patients with rheumatological diseases (joint diseases). The app collects baseline and ongoing information that is used for BIG DATA analysis to predict factors that affect response to treatment, remissions, and outbreaks of the disease.
The research is a collaborative effort that I lead as PI at the Hadassah Medical Center, together with Dr. Hagit Peleg and Prof. Eldad Ben-Chetrit and Prof. Yuval Shahar of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The research is funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Thank you for your hard work in the development of the app Noam Mazuz from Vizion company, Erez Shalom, PhD., and Michal Weisman Raymond.
As part of the study, we recruit participants through the Inbar Association for Victims of Rheumatic, Autoimmune, and Inflammatory Diseases https://lnkd.in/dzyaH4Fc and the ASAF Association for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome https://www.asaf.org .il / events-news /.

Background: The etiology and risk factors for progression of many chronic pain conditions (CPC) are still unknown. Moreover, real-time patient`s monitoring remains a challenge.

Aim: To develop a new digital tool for monitoring and analyzing big data of CPC patients in order to discover predictive patterns for :exacerbation ,remission, and response to treatment.

Methods: We developed the Painscreen, a new web application that works on mobile and stationary devices, in order to collect data and monitor patients continuously.

Results: The framework creates and stores answers to baseline and daily questionnaires and sensor data (such as :sleep patterns, steps) .Painscreen supports application, to the integrated longitudinal data, of big temporal data mining methods to discover predictive patterns, and present analysis results to the doctor.

Conclusions: The painscreen will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of CPC from a big data base, and will lead to better personalized care of CPC patients
