Abstract
Machine learning-based patient monitoring systems are generally deployed on remote servers for analyzing heterogeneous data. While recent advances in mobile technology provide new opportunities to deploy such systems directly on mobile devices, the development and deployment challenges are not being extensively studied by the research community. In this paper, we systematically investigate challenges associated with each stage of the development and deployment of a machine learning-based patient monitoring system on a mobile device. For each class of challenges, we provide a number of recommendations that can be used by the researchers, system designers, and developers working on mobile-based predictive and monitoring systems. The results of our investigation show that when developers are dealing with mobile platforms, they must evaluate the predictive systems based on its classification and computational performance. Accordingly, we propose a new machine learning training and deployment methodology specifically tailored for mobile platforms that incorporates metrics beyond traditional classifier performance.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research serves as a publication venue for the innovative technical contributions highlighting analytics, systems, and human factors research in healthcare informatics.Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research is concerned with the application of computer science principles, information science principles, information technology, and communication technology to address problems in healthcare, and everyday wellness. Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research highlights the most cutting-edge technical contributions in computing-oriented healthcare informatics. The journal covers three major tracks: (1) analytics—focuses on data analytics, knowledge discovery, predictive modeling; (2) systems—focuses on building healthcare informatics systems (e.g., architecture, framework, design, engineering, and application); (3) human factors—focuses on understanding users or context, interface design, health behavior, and user studies of healthcare informatics applications. Topics include but are not limited to: · healthcare software architecture, framework, design, and engineering;· electronic health records· medical data mining· predictive modeling· medical information retrieval· medical natural language processing· healthcare information systems· smart health and connected health· social media analytics· mobile healthcare· medical signal processing· human factors in healthcare· usability studies in healthcare· user-interface design for medical devices and healthcare software· health service delivery· health games· security and privacy in healthcare· medical recommender system· healthcare workflow management· disease profiling and personalized treatment· visualization of medical data· intelligent medical devices and sensors· RFID solutions for healthcare· healthcare decision analytics and support systems· epidemiological surveillance systems and intervention modeling· consumer and clinician health information needs, seeking, sharing, and use· semantic Web, linked data, and ontology· collaboration technologies for healthcare· assistive and adaptive ubiquitous computing technologies· statistics and quality of medical data· healthcare delivery in developing countries· health systems modeling and simulation· computer-aided diagnosis
