Early diagnosis is always crucial for pandemic control. Compared to RT-PCR, chest computed tomography (CT) imaging is the more consistent, concrete, and prompt method to identify COVID-19 patients. For clinical diagnostics, the information received from computed tomography scans is critical. So there is a need to develop an image analysis technique for detecting viral epidemics from computed tomography scan pictures. Using DenseNet, ResNet, CapsNet, and 3D-ConvNet, four deep machine learning-based architectures have been proposed for COVID-19 diagnosis from chest computed tomography scans. From the experimental results, it is found that all the architectures are providing effective accuracy, of which the COVID-DNet model has reached the highest accuracy of 99%. Proposed architectures are accessible at https://github.com/shamiktiwari/CTscanCovi19 can be utilized to support radiologists and reserachers in validating their initial screening.","PeriodicalId":36298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Reliable and Quality E-Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48546639","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}

Access to patient records and transactions related to diagnosis is helpful to patients and the health care department and executives. But this practice may lead to major privacy concerns of patients' private data. For EHR adaptation, the major elements are laws and regulations, monetary inducement and hurdles, technology state, and corporation effect. In this paper, I have proposed a Patient Controlled mechanism using the pseudonymization technique for ensuring the security and privacy of Electronic Health records. It is found that most of the potential approaches have used pseudonymization techniques to deal with the issues involved in a healthcare information system. This proposed solution is simple and efficiently ensures the privacy of patient data.

The healthcare community is no exception. The present work is focused on the exchange of medical information, using the Health Level Seven (HL7) international standards. The main objective of the present work is to develop an AI model capable of inferring if for a given hour exists a peak in the number of exchanged messages. To accomplish that two different deep learning models were created, an Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Long-short Term Memory (LSTM). The intention is to observe which is capable to perceive the situation better considering the environment and features of a healthcare facility. Using laboratory-generated data was possible to simulate variations and differences in “traffic”. Comparing the LSTM vs ANN model, the first is capable of outputting peaks better but for considered mean values that do not happen. For the given context, predicting the peak is essential, so the LSTM is the right choice and uses fewer features that are good regarding performance.","PeriodicalId":36298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Reliable and Quality E-Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49310935","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}

It was found that medication adherence and beliefs of patients significantly differ based on their demographic characteristics. The importance given to the physician instruction varies mainly based on the gender and dwelling location of the patients. Patients who fall into the category of retired servicemen/women are more adherent than others. Income also plays an essential role in adherence. Gender differences occur for exercising behavior of patients, and education level affects the beliefs of patients, which they have towards themselves and for their responsibilities.","PeriodicalId":36298,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Reliable and Quality E-Healthcare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46239477","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}

This data is then transmitted to the vehicle unit via the RF transmitter. The data is encoded with the aid of an encoder. Suppose the alcohol sensor senses that the driver is intoxicated. In that case, the IoT-based Raspberry Pi micro-controller passes the data to the vehicle unit via the RF transmitter, which immediately stops the vehicle from using the Driver circuit to control the relay. To stop the consumption of alcohol, the vehicles would be tracked daily. If the individual driving the vehicle is under the influence of alcohol while driving, the buzzer will automatically trigger.
