Applying Artificial Intelligence in Developing Personalized and Sustainable Healthcare for Spinal Disorders (AID-Spine, part I)
We use machine learning methods to develop and validate prediction models for health and welfare outcomes after treatment for spinal disorders.
-
Can Motivational Interviewing facilitate return to work in sick-listed people with musculoskeletal disorders? (MI-NAV)
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing on return to work among sick-listed people due to musculoskeletal disorders.
