Abstract
New research on Machine Learning is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Atlanta, Georgia, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “We employed wearable multimodal sensing (heart rate and triaxial accelerometry) with machine learning to enable early prediction of impending exertional heat stroke (EHS). US Army Rangers and Combat Engineers (N = 2,102) were instrumented while participating in rigorous 7-mile and 12-mile loaded rucksack timed marches.” Financial supporters for this research include Office of Naval Research, Medical Research and Development Command Institutional Review Board. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Georgia Institute of Technology, “There were three EHS cases, and data from 478 Rangers were analyzed for model building and controls. The data-driven machine learning approach incorporated estimates of physiological strain (heart rate) and physical stress (estimated metabolic rate) trajectories, followed by reconstruction to obtain compressed representations which then fed into anomaly detection for EHS prediction. Impending EHS was predicted from 33 to 69 min before collapse. These findings demonstrate that low dimensional physiological stress to strain patterns with machine learning anomaly detection enables early prediction of impending EHS which will allow interventions that minimize or avoid pathophysiological sequelae.”
