Application of Deep Learning in Healthcare

ABSTRACT

Automated Patient monitoring is rising to importance in the mobile healthcare services as it makes day-to-day activities risk-free, by continuously monitoring their vital signs. Clinical solutions are being provided to patients in no time, which is made possible due to the latest improvements in the “Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and fog computing”. “Machine learning and Deep learning” are now being extensively used for various applications in healthcare such as extracting relations from vast amounts of patient data, analyzing patterns to predict the propagation of diseases, classify reports and X-rays to detect diseases, to name a few. In this paper, a deep learning-based model is proposed to monitor Covid-affected patients within hospitals. Our model can provide an online link between a patient and medical facility while also collecting patient data. This will enhance the care taken for patients. At the hospital end, we present a deep learning model using ResNet-50 that could classify chest X-rays as Covid positive or No Covid. Through this model we expect to quicken the process of COVID-19 detection while lowering the healthcare expenses. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
