Leveraging Deep Learning for Designing Healthcare Analytics Heuristic for Diagnostics.

Healthcare Informatics is a phenomenon being talked about from the early 21st century in the era in which we are living. With evolution of new computing technologies huge amount of data in healthcare is produced opening several research areas. Managing the massiveness of this data is required while extracting knowledge for decision making is the main concern of today. For this task researchers are doing explorations in big data analytics, deep learning (advanced form of machine learning known as deep neural nets), predictive analytics and various other algorithms to bring innovation in healthcare. Through all these innovations happening it is not wrong to establish that disease prediction with anticipation of its cure is no longer unrealistic. First, Dengue Fever (DF) and then Covid-19 likewise are new outbreak in infectious lethal diseases and diagnosing at all stages is crucial to decrease mortality rate. In case of Diabetes, clinicians and experts are finding challenging the timely diagnosis and analyzing the chances of developing underlying diseases. In this paper, Louvain Mani-Hierarchical Fold Learning healthcare analytics, a hybrid deep learning technique is proposed for medical diagnostics and is tested and validated using real-time dataset of 104 instances of patients with dengue fever made available by Holy Family Hospital, Pakistan and 810 instances found for infectious diseases including prognosis of; Covid-19, SARS, ARDS, Pneumocystis, Streptococcus, Chlamydophila, Klebsiella, Legionella, Lipoid, etc. on GitHub. Louvain Mani-Hierarchical Fold Learning healthcare analytics showed maximum 0.952 correlations between two clusters with Spearman when applied on 240 instances extracted from comorbidities diagnostic data model derived from 15696 endocrine records of multiple visits of 100 patients identified by a unique ID. Accuracy for induced rules is evaluated by Laplace (Fig. 8) as 0.727, 0.701 and 0.203 for 41, 18 and 24 rules, respectively. Endocrine diagnostic data is made available by Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan. Our results show that in future this algorithm may be tested for diagnostics on healthcare big data.

Towards an effective model for lung disease classification: Using Dense Capsule Nets for early classification of lung diseases.

Machine Learning and computer vision have been the frontiers of the war against the COVID-19 Pandemic. Radiology has vastly improved the diagnosis of diseases, especially lung diseases, through the early assessment of key disease factors. Chest X-rays have thus become among the commonly used radiological tests to detect and diagnose many lung diseases. However, the discovery of lung disease through X-rays is a significantly challenging task depending on the availability of skilled radiologists. There has been a recent increase in attention to the design of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) models for lung disease classification. A considerable amount of training dataset is required for CNN to work, but the problem is that it cannot handle translation and rotation correctly as input. The recently proposed Capsule Networks (referred to as CapsNets) are new automated learning architecture that aims to overcome the shortcomings in CNN. CapsNets are vital for rotation and complex translation. They require much less training information, which applies to the processing of data sets from medical images, including radiological images of the chest X-rays. In this research, the adoption and integration of CapsNets into the problem of chest X-ray classification have been explored. The aim is to design a deep model using CapsNet that increases the accuracy of the classification problem involved. We have used convolution blocks that take input images and generate convolution layers used as input to capsule block. There are 12 capsule layers operated, and the output of each capsule is used as an input to the next convolution block. The process is repeated for all blocks. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture yields better results when compared with the existing CNN techniques by achieving a better area under the curve (AUC) average. Furthermore, DNet checks the best performance in the ChestXray-14 data set on traditional CNN, and it is validated that DNet performs better with a higher level of total depth.

Achieving data privacy for decision support systems in times of massive data sharing.

The world is suffering from a new pandemic of Covid-19 that is affecting human lives. The collection of records for Covid-19 patients is necessary to tackle that situation. The decision support systems (DSS) are used to gather that records. The researchers access the patient's data through DSS and perform predictions on the severity and effect of the Covid-19 disease; in contrast, unauthorized users can also access the data for malicious purposes. For that reason, it is a challenging task to protect Covid-19 patient data. In this paper, we proposed a new technique for protecting Covid-19 patients' data. The proposed model consists of two folds. Firstly, Blowfish encryption uses to encrypt the identity attributes. Secondly, it uses Pseudonymization to mask identity and quasi-attributes, then all the data links with one another, such as the encrypted, masked, sensitive, and non-sensitive attributes. In this way, the data becomes more secure from unauthorized access.
