Explainable Machine Learning Integrated with Polymer-Based Diagnostic Technologies for Liver Health Classification
Abstract: Early and reliable assessment of liver health is essential for timely treatment, yet most machine-learning approaches face limitations such as class imbalance and low clinical interpretability. This study proposes a polymer-integrated, explainable machine-learning framework that combines SMOTE-based data balancing, Logistic Regression, and XAI techniques (SHAP and LIME) for transparent liver-health classification. In addition to ML modelling, the study emphasizes the emerging role of polymer-based biosensors, microfluidic polymer chips, polymer nanomaterials, …

RoseRAG-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Precision Medication Safety
Abstract: Medication-related errors remain a major challenge in healthcare, contributing to adverse drug events, increased hospitalization rates, and substantial healthcare costs. Conventional Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) primarily rely on rule-based mechanisms for identifying drug-related problems (DRPs), including drug–drug interactions, contraindications, dosing errors, therapeutic duplication, and medication omissions. Although effective in structured environments, these systems frequently generate excessive context-insensitive alerts, leading to alert fatigue and reduced clinical acceptance. Recent developments in …
