    An Efficient CSP-PDW Approach for ECG Signal Compression and Reconstruction for IoT-Based Healthcare

    Hari Mohan Rai, Chandra Mukherjee, Joon Yoo, Hanaa A. Abdallah, Saurabh Agarwal, Wooguil Pak
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.85, No.3, pp. 5723-5745, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.070391
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Recent Advancements in Machine Learning and Data Analysis for Disease Detection)
    Abstract A hybrid Compressed Sensing and Primal-Dual Wavelet (CSP-PDW) technique is proposed for the compression and reconstruction of ECG signals. The compression and reconstruction algorithms are implemented using four key concepts: Sparsifying Basis, Restricted Isometry Principle, Gaussian Random Matrix, and Convex Minimization. In addition to the conventional compression sensing reconstruction approach, wavelet-based processing is employed to enhance reconstruction efficiency. A mathematical model of the proposed algorithm is derived analytically to obtain the essential parameters of compression sensing, including the sparsifying basis, measurement matrix size, and number of iterations required for reconstructing the original signal and determining More >

    Optimized Cardiovascular Disease Prediction Using Clustered Butterfly Algorithm

    Kamepalli S. L. Prasanna, Vijaya J, Parvathaneni Naga Srinivasu, Babar Shah, Farman Ali
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.85, No.1, pp. 1603-1630, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.068707
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Recent Advancements in Machine Learning and Data Analysis for Disease Detection)
    Abstract Cardiovascular disease prediction is a significant area of research in healthcare management systems (HMS). We will only be able to reduce the number of deaths if we anticipate cardiac problems in advance. The existing heart disease detection systems using machine learning have not yet produced sufficient results due to the reliance on available data. We present Clustered Butterfly Optimization Techniques (RoughK-means+BOA) as a new hybrid method for predicting heart disease. This method comprises two phases: clustering data using Roughk-means (RKM) and data analysis using the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA). The benchmark dataset from the UCI More >
