Abstract Cardiac disease is a chronic condition that impairs the heart’s functionality. It includes conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular heart disease. These conditions can lead to serious complications and even be life-threatening if not detected and managed in time. Researchers have utilized Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) to identify heart abnormalities swiftly and consistently. Various approaches have been applied to predict and treat heart disease utilizing ML and DL. This paper proposes a Machine and Deep Learning-based Stacked Model (MDLSM) to predict heart disease accurately. ML approaches such as eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB),… More >

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to the 2019 new coronavirus epidemic as COVID-19, and it has caused an unprecedented global crisis for several nations. Nearly every country around the globe is now very concerned about the effects of the COVID-19 outbreaks, which were previously only experienced by Chinese residents. Most of these nations are now under a partial or complete state of lockdown due to the lack of resources needed to combat the COVID-19 epidemic and the concern about overstretched healthcare systems. Every time the pandemic surprises them by providing new values for various parameters, all the connected research… More >

Abstract The mobile cellular network provides internet connectivity for heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The cellular network consists of several towers installed at appropriate locations within a smart city. These cellular towers can be utilized for various tasks, such as e-healthcare systems, smart city surveillance, traffic monitoring, infrastructure surveillance, or sidewalk checking. Security is a primary concern in data broadcasting, particularly authentication, because the strength of a cellular network’s signal is much higher frequency than the associated one, and their frequencies can sometimes be aligned, posing a significant challenge. As a result, that requires attention, and without information authentication, such… More >

Abstract L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer la faisabilité, l’acceptabilité et l’efficacité d’une intervention psychosociale en individuel (appelée StomieCare) auprès de patients atteints d’un cancer du rectum et traités par chirurgie avec stomie temporaire. Cette intervention, en trois séances individuelles, comprend des discussions thématiques autour de problèmes communs relatifs à la maladie et/ou la stomie comme l’impact du cancer et de ces traitements sur la qualité de vie, l’estime de soi, d’apport d’informations et d’apprentissage de techniques (résolution de problème et restructuration cognitive). Trente-sept patients atteints d’un cancer du rectum et traités par chirurgie avec stomie temporaire ont été recrutés et… More >

Abstract With the increasing use of deep learning technology, there is a growing concern over creating deep fake images and videos that can potentially be used for fraud. In healthcare, manipulating medical images could lead to misdiagnosis and potentially life-threatening consequences. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to explore the use of deep learning algorithms to detect deep fake images by solving the problem of recognizing the handling of samples of cancer and other diseases. Therefore, this research proposes a framework that leverages state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) and a large dataset of authentic and deep fake medical… More >

Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is mainly concerned with the efficient utilisation of wearable devices in the healthcare domain to manage various processes automatically, whereas machine learning approaches enable these smart systems to make informed decisions. Generally, broadcasting is used for the transmission of frames, whereas congestion, energy efficiency, and excessive load are among the common issues associated with existing approaches. In this paper, a machine learning-enabled shortest path identification scheme is presented to ensure reliable transmission of frames, especially with the minimum possible communication overheads in the IoMT network. For this purpose, the proposed scheme utilises a well-known… More >

Abstract Falling is among the most harmful events older adults may encounter. With the continuous growth of the aging population in many societies, developing effective fall detection mechanisms empowered by machine learning technologies and easily integrable with existing healthcare systems becomes essential. This paper presents a new healthcare Internet of Health Things (IoHT) architecture built around an ensemble machine learning-based fall detection system (FDS) for older people. Compared to deep neural networks, the ensemble multi-stage random forest model allows the extraction of an optimal subset of fall detection features with minimal hyperparameters. The number of cascaded random forest stages is automatically… More >

Abstract The lack of modern technology in healthcare has led to the death of thousands of lives worldwide due to COVID- 19 since its outbreak. The Internet of Things (IoT) along with other technologies like Machine Learning can revolutionize the traditional healthcare system. Instead of reactive healthcare systems, IoT technology combined with machine learning and edge computing can deliver proactive and preventive healthcare services. In this study, a novel healthcare edge-assisted framework has been proposed to detect and prognosticate the COVID-19 suspects in the initial phases to stop the transmission of coronavirus infection. The proposed framework is based on edge computing… More >
