A novel deep fusion strategy for COVID-19 prediction using multimodality approach.

Over the last two years, the novel coronavirus has become a significant threat to the health of the public, and numerous approaches are developed to determine the symptoms of COVID-19. To deal with the complex symptoms of COVID-19, a Deep Learning-assisted Multi-modal Data Analysis (DMDA) approach is introduced to determine COVID-19 symptoms by utilizing acoustic and image-based data. Furthermore, the classified events are forwarded to the proposed Dynamic Fusion Strategy (DFS) for confirming the health status of the individual. Initially, the performance of the proposed solution is evaluated on both acoustic and image-based samples and the proposed solution attains the maximum accuracy of 96.88% and 98.76%, respectively. Similarly, the DFS has achieved an overall symptom determination accuracy of 98.72% which is highly acceptable for decision-making. Moreover, the proposed solution shows high reliability with an accuracy of 95.64% even in absence of any one of the data modalities during testing.

Artificial intelligence-inspired comprehensive framework for Covid-19 outbreak control.

COVID-19 is a life-threatening contagious virus that has spread across the globe rapidly. To reduce the outbreak impact of COVID-19 virus illness, continual identification and remote surveillance of patients are essential. Medical service delivery based on the Internet of Things (IoT) technology backed up by the fog-cloud paradigm is an efficient and time-sensitive solution for remote patient surveillance. Conspicuously, a comprehensive framework based on Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) and body-wearable sensor technologies supported by the fog-cloud platform is proposed for the identification and management of COVID-19 patients. The J48 decision tree is used to assess the infection degree of the user based on corresponding symptoms. RFID is used to detect Temporal Proximity Interactions (TPI) among users. Using TPI quantification, Temporal Network Analysis is used to analyze and track the current stage of the COVID-19 spread. The statistical performance and accuracy of the framework are assessed by utilizing synthetically-generated data for 250,000 users. Based on the comparative analysis, the proposed framework acquired an enhanced measure of classification accuracy, and sensitivity of 96.68% and 94.65% respectively. Moreover, significant improvement has been registered for proposed fog-cloud-based data analysis in terms of Temporal Delay efficacy, Precision, and F-measure.

Video-assisted smart health monitoring for affliction determination based on fog analytics.

Satisfying the expectations of quality living is essential for smart healthcare. Therefore, the determination of health afflictions in real-time has been considered as one of the most necessary parts of medical or assistive-care domain. In this article, a novel fog analytic-assisted deep learning-enabled physical stance-based irregularity recognition framework is presented to enhance personal living satisfaction of an individual. To increase the utility of the proposed framework for assistive-care, an attempt has been made to record predicted activity scores on cloud by following the continuous time series policy to provide future health references to authorized medical specialist. Furthermore, a smart two-phased decision generation mechanism is proposed to intimate medical specialist and caretakers about the current physical status of an individual in real-time. The generation of the alert is directly proportional to the predicted physical irregularity and the scale of health severity. The experimental results highlight the advantages of fog analytics that helps to increase the recognition rate up to 46.45% for 40 FPS and 45.72% for 30 FPS against cloud-based monitoring solutions. The calculated outcomes justify the superiority of the proposed fog analytics monitoring solution over the conventional cloud-based monitoring solutions by achieving high activity prediction accuracy and less latency rate in decision making.

Cognitive Intelligence Assisted Fog-Cloud Architecture for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Prediction.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a psychological disorder caused by high stress from daily life activities. It causes severe health issues, such as sore muscles, low concentration, fatigue, and sleep deprivation. The less availability of predictive solutions specifically for individuals suffering from GAD can become an imperative reason for health and psychological adversity. The proposed solution aims to monitor health, behavioral and environmental parameters of the individual to predict health adversity caused by GAD. Initially, Weighted-Naïve Bayes (W-NB) classifier is utilized to predict irregular health events by classifying the captured data at the fog layer. The proposed two-phased decision-making process helps to optimize the distribution of required medical services by determining the scale of vulnerability. Furthermore, the utility of the framework is increased by calculating health vulnerability index using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System-Genetic Algorithm (ANFIS-GA) on the cloud. The presented work addresses the concerns in terms of efficient monitoring of anomalies followed by time sensitive two-phased alert generation procedure. To approve the performance of irregular event identification and health severity prediction, the framework has been conveyed in a living room for 30 days in which almost 15 individuals by the age of 68 to 78 years have been continuously monitored. The calculated outcomes represent the monitoring efficiency of the proposed framework over the policies of manual monitoring.
