Summary

The healthcare industry has been experiencing a rapid increase in the use of digital devices and social networking. These digital devices are used to continuously monitor patients internally and externally to detect chronic diseases like Alzheimer's and heart disease. Social network data is used to identify emotional status and accrued stress, which can affect a patient's health. Although numerous Machine Learning-based healthcare systems have been proposed to monitor chronic patients using these technologies, they are not well-equipped to efficiently consider the characteristics of biomedical data. Biomedical data is unstructured and noisy, which makes it challenging to extract valuable information and accurately analyze it for chronic patient monitoring. Additionally, electronic medical records (EMRs) are also unstructured and constantly increasing in size due to daily medical tests. Therefore, an intelligent system is needed to automatically handle the extracted information from biomedical data, analyze it to identify hidden symptoms of chronic disease, and predict the patient's health condition. Furthermore, the healthcare industry requires Deep Learning models with IoT technology that can process both sensor and textual data (biomedical data) for disease prediction. The aim of this special issue is to address the areas of advanced deep learning modeling and IoT-based devices for intelligent healthcare. These two aspects can help the existing healthcare system to process and analyze unstructured and noisy biomedical data for physicians to diagnose patients. This special issue will explore the new challenges of deep learning models and IoT-based sensors in intelligent healthcare. High-quality and state-of-the-art research papers on this subject are encouraged to be published in this special issue.

    Improving Prediction Efficiency of Machine Learning Models for Cardiovascular Disease in IoST-Based Systems through Hyperparameter Optimization

    Tajim Md. Niamat Ullah Akhund, Waleed M. Al-Nuwaiser
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.3, pp. 3485-3506, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.054222

    Abstract This study explores the impact of hyperparameter optimization on machine learning models for predicting cardiovascular disease using data from an IoST (Internet of Sensing Things) device. Ten distinct machine learning approaches were implemented and systematically evaluated before and after hyperparameter tuning. Significant improvements were observed across various models, with SVM and Neural Networks consistently showing enhanced performance metrics such as F1-Score, recall, and precision. The study underscores the critical role of tailored hyperparameter tuning in optimizing these models, revealing diverse outcomes among algorithms. Decision Trees and Random Forests exhibited stable performance throughout the evaluation. While More >

    Abstract Fetal health care is vital in ensuring the health of pregnant women and the fetus. Regular check-ups need to be taken by the mother to determine the status of the fetus’ growth and identify any potential problems. To know the status of the fetus, doctors monitor blood reports, Ultrasounds, cardiotocography (CTG) data, etc. Still, in this research, we have considered CTG data, which provides information on heart rate and uterine contractions during pregnancy. Several researchers have proposed various methods for classifying the status of fetus growth. Manual processing of CTG data is time-consuming and unreliable.… More >
