During this outbreak, it is critical to find creative ways to extend the reach of informatics into every person in society. Although there are many websites and mobile applications for this purpose, they are insufficient in reaching vulnerable populations like older adults who are not familiar with using new technologies to access information. In this paper, we propose an AI-enabled chatbot assistant that delivers real-time, useful, context-aware, and personalized information about COVID-19 to users, especially older adults. To use the assistant, a user simply speaks to it through a mobile phone or a smart speaker. This natural and interactive interface does not require the user to have any technical background. The virtual assistant was evaluated in the lab environment through various types of use cases. Preliminary qualitative test results demonstrate a reasonable precision and recall rate.","PeriodicalId":375617,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The further complications of ET may lead to Parkinson’s disease and therefore it is very crucial to identify at the early onset. This research study deals with the identification of the presence of ET from the EMG of the patient by using power spectral density (PSD) features. Several PSD estimation methods such as Welch, Yule Walker, covariance, modified covariance, Eigen Vector based on Eigen value and MUSIC, and Thompson Multitaper are employed and are then classified using a recurrent feedback Elman neural network (RFBEN). It is observed from the experimental results that the MUSIC method of estimating the PSD of the EMG along with RFBEN classifier yields a classification accuracy of 99.81%. It can be concluded that the proposed approach demonstrates the possibility of developing automated computer aided diagnostic tool for early detection of Essential tremors.","PeriodicalId":375617,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This study aims at demarcating the sleep patterns of yogic and non-yogic subjects. Frequency domain features based on power spectral density methods were explored in this study. The EEG recordings were segmented into 1s and 0.5s. EEG patterns with four windowing scheme overlaps (0%, 50%, 60%, and 75%) to ensure stationarity of the signal in order to investigate the effect of the pre-processing stage. In order to recognize the yoga and non-yoga group through N3 sleep stage, non-linear KNN classifier was introduced and performance was evaluated in terms of sensitivity and specificity. The experimental results show that modified covariance PSD estimate is the best method in classifying the sleep stage N3 of yogic and non-yogic subjects with 95% confidence interval, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 97.3%, 98%, and 97%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":375617,"journal":{"name":"Int.
