A novel healthcare decision support system using IoT and ANFIS

Abstract

Modern healthcare facilities are equipped with major difficulties, particularly in poor nations where there are insufficient high-quality hospitals and medical professionals in remote places. Healthcare has profited from artificial intelligence’s revolution in many other areas of life. A few issues with the current architecture of the store-and-forward method of conventional telemedicine are that it requires a local health center with a dedicated staff, medical equipment to prepare patient reports, and long turnaround time for receiving a diagnosis and medication details from a medical expert in a main hospital, the cost of local health centers, and the requirement for a Wi-Fi connection. In this work, we present a new intelligent healthcare system built on cutting-edge technology such as deep learning and the Internet of Things (IoT). This system has the intelligence to use a medical decision support system to sense and process patient data by making use of adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). For those who live in rural places, this system offers an affordable solution. By contacting local hospitals, users can determine whether they have a serious health concern and seek appropriate treatment. Additionally, the experiment findings demonstrate that the suggested system is capable of providing health services due to its efficiency and intelligence.
