An Intelligent Sensor Based Decision Support System for Diagnosing Pulmonary Ailment through Standardized Chest X-ray Scans.

Academics and the health community are paying much attention to developing smart remote patient monitoring, sensors, and healthcare technology. For the analysis of medical scans, various studies integrate sophisticated deep learning strategies. A smart monitoring system is needed as a proactive diagnostic solution that may be employed in an epidemiological scenario such as COVID-19. Consequently, this work offers an intelligent medicare system that is an IoT-empowered, deep learning-based decision support system (DSS) for the automated detection and categorization of infectious diseases (COVID-19 and pneumothorax). The proposed DSS system was evaluated using three independent standard-based chest X-ray scans. The suggested DSS predictor has been used to identify and classify areas on whole X-ray scans with abnormalities thought to be attributable to COVID-19, reaching an identification and classification accuracy rate of 89.58% for normal images and 89.13% for COVID-19 and pneumothorax. With the suggested DSS system, a judgment depending on individual chest X-ray scans may be made in approximately 0.01 s. As a result, the DSS system described in this study can forecast at a pace of 95 frames per second (FPS) for both models, which is near to real-time.

A deep learning approach for detecting the behaviour of people having personality disorders towards COVID-19 from Twitter

This paper proposes an architecture taking advantage of artificial intelligence and text mining techniques in order to: 1) detect paranoid people by classifying their set of tweets into two classes (paranoid/not-paranoid);2) ensure the surveillance of these people by classifying their tweets about COVID-19 into two classes (person with normal behaviour, person with inappropriate behaviour). These objectives are achieved using an approach that takes advantage of different information related to the textual part, user and tweets for features selection task and deep neural network for the classification task. We obtained as an F-score rate 70% for the detection of paranoid people and 73% for the detection of the behaviour of these people towards COVID-19. The obtained results are motivating and encouraging researchers to improve them given the interest and the importance of this research axis.
