A Decision Support System for Diagnosing Diabetes Using Deep Neural Network.

Background and Objective: According to the WHO, diabetes mellitus is a long-term condition marked by high blood sugar levels. The consequences might be far-reaching. According to current increases in mortality, diabetes has risen to number 10 among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. When used to predict diabetes using unbalanced datasets from testing, machine learning (ML) classifiers and established approaches for encoding categorical data have exhibited a broad variety of surprising outcomes. Early studies also made use of an artificial neural network to extract features without obtaining a grasp of the sequence information. Methods: This study offers a deep learning-based decision support system (DSS), utilizing bidirectional long/short-term memory (BiLSTM), to accurately predict diabetic illness from patient data. In order to predict diabetes, the BiLSTM hybrid model was used after balancing the data set. Results: Unlike earlier studies, this proposed model's trial findings were promising, with an accuracy of 93.07%, 93% precision, 92% recall, and a 92% F1-score. Conclusions: Using a BILSTM model for classification outperforms current approaches in the diabetes detection domain.

Prediction of the Infectious Outbreak COVID-19 and Prevalence of Anxiety: Global Evidence

Forecasting disease outbreaks in real-time using time-series data can help for the planning of public health interventions. We used a support vector machine (SVM) model using epidemiological data provided by Johns Hopkins University Centre for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CCSE), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to predict upcoming records before the WHO made an official declaration. Our study, conducted on the time series data available from 22 January till 10 March 2020, revealed that COVID-19 was spreading at an alarming rate and progressing towards a pandemic. The initial insight that confirmed COVID-19 cases were increasing was because these received the highest number of effects for our selected dataset from 22 January to 10 March 2020, i.e., 126,344 (64%). The recovered cases were 68289 (34%), and the death rate was around 2%. Moreover, we classified the tweets from 22 January to 15 April 2020 into positive and negative sentiments to identify the emotions (stress or relaxed) posted by Twitter users related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis identified that tweets mostly conveyed a negative sentiment with a high frequency of words for #coronavirus and #lockdown amid COVID-19. However, these anxiety tweets are an alarm for healthcare authorities to devise plans accordingly.

A Reinforcement Learning-Based Framework for Crowdsourcing in Massive Health Care Internet of Things.

Rapid advancements in the internet of things (IoT) are driving massive transformations of health care, which is one of the largest and critical global industries. Recent pandemics, such as coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), include increasing demands for ubiquitous, preventive, and personalized health care to be provided to the public at reduced risks and costs with rapid care. Mobile crowdsourcing could potentially meet the future massive health care IoT (mH-IoT) demands by enabling anytime, anywhere sense and analyses of health-related data to tackle such a pandemic situation. However, data reliability and availability are among the many challenges for the realization of next-generation mH-IoT, especially in COVID-19 epidemics. Therefore, more intelligent and robust health care frameworks are required to tackle such pandemics. Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has proven its strengths to provide intelligent data reliability and availability. The action-state learning procedure of RL-based frameworks enables the learning system to enhance the optimal use of the information as the time passes and data increases. In this article, we propose an RL-based crowd-to-machine (RLC2M) framework for mH-IoT, which leverages crowdsourcing and an RL model (Q-learning) to address the health care information processing challenges. The simulation results show that the proposed framework rapidly converges with accumulated rewards to reveal the sensing environment situation.
