It is believed that GraphQL overcomes some issues of REST API. Moreover, GraphQL is known for its security issues as identified by OWASP organization, specifically Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) which are basically access control related issues. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge there is no solution exists, in the academia or industry, to protect GraphQL-based Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) API against BOLA and BFLA. In this paper, we present a Role-based Access Control (RBAC) solution to intercept all FHIR GraphQL requests to prevent related BOLA and BFLA vulnerabilities. To prove our work, we have implemented the RBAC solution as a server interceptor based on the HAPI FHIR reference implementation. Moreover, our evaluation showed that the suggested solution introduced minimal overhead.","PeriodicalId":202664,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on E-health Networking, Application & Services (HealthCom)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132196294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) is a type of diabetic neuropathy that is defined as a disorder of the autonomous nervous system and can affect various organs in the body, including the heart and kidney. DAN is widely under-diagnosed due to reasons such as the cost and unavailability of testing equipment, the difficulty of performing cardiovascular tests, and the oftentimes asymptomatic state of the disease in its early stages. However, a late diagnosis can lead to dangerous health complications in the long run. As such, this paper aims to use machine learning to detect DAN in the kidney and heart in diabetic patients by retrieving their information from electronic health records. For this purpose, a dataset of 1275 patient records was used with a variety of traditional machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The best performing model was TabNet with an F1 score of 85.82 for the heart and 73.37 for the kidney.","PeriodicalId":202664,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on E-health Networking, Application & Services (HealthCom)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127883192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detection of protein aggregates often requires the use of expensive and complex techniques. Here we propose a fast and easy implementation solution, based on an optical fibre Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) end tip resonator.

Furthermore, the vast possibility of herb-drug interactions prevents health professionals from remembering or manually searching them in a database. Decision support systems are a powerful tool that can be used to assist clinicians in making diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in patient care. Therefore, an original and hybrid decision support system was designed to identify herb-drug interactions, applying artificial intelligence techniques to identify new possible interactions. Different machine learning models will be used to strengthen the typical rules engine used in these cases. Thus, using the proposed system, the pharmacy community, people’s first line of contact within the Healthcare System, will be able to make better and more accurate therapeutic decisions and mitigate possible adverse events.","PeriodicalId":202664,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on E-health Networking, Application & Services (HealthCom)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129420246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the network traffic classification, \"unknown applications\" are regarded as a difficult problem that remains unsolved, especially in the healthcare sector. Traffic classification helps in classifying and aggregate traffic flows into categories with the same traffic patterns. Identification and classification of traffic are critical for network management efficiency, which includes Quality of Service (QoS), detection of intrusions, and lawful interception. Only the network traffic classification technology based on payloads is fitting because most of the applications are IP based, whether is attached to a specific port number or is dynamic or is temporary. Payload-based classifiers consist of finding the features in the payload of data packets to differentiate between the application protocols. In this work, we propose a model using machine learning (ML) for an accurate and efficient traffic classification. ML allows for an automatic response to various applications by classifying traffic without a network operator interference. Experimental results demonstrate that ML-based traffic classification methods are effective and obtained high accuracy and a low data loss rate in front of other available models.","PeriodicalId":202664,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on E-health Networking, Application & Services (HealthCom)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132411115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also introduce message reachability, an extension of temporal reachability that accounts for network topology and message-passing semantics. Our evaluation on both synthetic and real-world contact networks indicates that correct parameter values optimize for algorithmic accuracy and efficiency.
