The results of the simulations approve that KNN algorithm has better accuracy than the others models’ forecasting notably in the middle and long terms. The MAPE for the KNN model was around 4.976843 while SVR and LSTM architectures had a MAPE of 6.810311 and 13.992133 respectively. In the medium and long term, ML models are so powerful on big datasets. Paradoxically, Machine learning architectures outperform ARIMA for shorter-term predictions. Thus, ARIMA is most appropriate in the case of univariate small data sets, where deep learning algorithms are not yet at their best.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45542272","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 system uses an infusion pump to provide the correct amount of anesthetic based on the patient's vital signs. The microprocessor takes control of the system once initiated and signals the motor driver to start injecting the required amount of anesthesia while monitoring vital signs such as temperature, heartbeat, and Spo2. The system alerts the doctor if any abnormality is detected, and the supply of anesthetic is stopped until everything returns to normal.

Given how challenging it is to anticipate heart attack, there is an urgent need to automate the prediction process using diagnostic data, and at the very least generate an early warning. This research makes a contribution by making it easier to diagnose cardiac problems using machine learning methods applied on the well-known Cleveland heart disease dataset. Several performance indicators are utilized to evaluate each model's strength. It turns out that support vector machine and random forest produced some incredibly promising outcomes. An improved prediction of heart disease for an embedded platform is, thus, proposed, based on the computational complexity of each model and experimental results, where the advantages of several classifiers are accumulated. The approach suggests that, and only if, more than one of these classifiers detect heart disease, the detection of heart illness is possible with increased confidence. In the end, experimental findings are drawn to a conclusion, with potential future options for advancing this effort.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46623336","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 data resulting from the therapy execution can be uploaded to a web server to facilitate the assessment and decision-making by health professionals. A pendulum featuring a rotary optical encoder is used for sensor functional behavior validation. In addition, the orientation angles measured by the proposed system are compared with respect to measurements from the motion analysis software Kinovea. The delay between the patient's body movement and the avatar is 33 ms, which is acceptable for visual feedback.

It is a significant cause of disability and can impact an individual's quality of life. The condition occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint wears away over time, leading to bone-on-bone contact, which can result in pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNN), are powerful tools in medical applications such as diagnosis and detection. This research proposes a CNN model to classify knee osteoarthritis into five categories using x-ray images. These classes are labeled: Minimal, Healthy, Moderate, Doubtful, and Severe. Furthermore, the proposed CNN model has been compared with two pre-trained transfer learning models: Xception and InceptionResNet V2. These models were evaluated based on precision, recall, F1 score, and accuracy. The results showed that although all three models performed very well, the proposed model outperformed both transfer learning models with 98% accuracy. It also achieved the highest values for other parameters such as precision, recall, and F1 score. The proposed model has several potential applications in clinical practice, such as assisting doctors in accurately classifying knee osteoarthritis severity levels by analyzing single X-ray images.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48386574","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}

With its envisioned purpose and potential in shaping up the economy, industry and society, this paradigm aims to bring a new dimension to life by enabling humans to interact with machines remotely and in real-time with haptic and kinesthetic feedback. However, to translate this into reality, Tactile Internet will need to meet the stringent requirements of extremely low latency in conjunction with ultra-high reliability, availability, and security. This poses a challenge on the available communication systems to achieve a round-trip delay within 1 to 10 milliseconds time bound that enables the timely delivery of critical tactile and haptic sensations. \u0000This paper aims to evaluate the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) through an emulation framework. It integrates containerization using Linux-based Docker Containers with NS-3 Network Simulator to conceptualize a haptic teleoperation system. The framework is then used to test the protocol’s feasibility for delivering texture haptic data between master and slave domains in accordance with the end-to-end delay requirements specified by IEEE 1918.1 standards. The results have shown that the timely provision of haptic data is achievable by obtaining an average round-trip delay of 17.8493 ms from the emulation experiment. As such, the results satisfy the expected IEEE 1918.1 standards constraints for medium-dynamic environment use cases.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47036755","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}
