The success of artificial intelligence techniques has led to the emergence of a variety of systems designed to address a wide range of healthcare issues. In particular, gathering data on patient activity and behavior has enabled the development of reliable predictive systems for detecting chronic diseases and forecasting their progression. Human activity detection is a vast and emerging field, and various datasets have been collected for training different machine learning and deep learning (DL) models. The University of Milano Bicocca smartphone-based human activity recognition (UniMiB-SHAR) dataset is widely used for analyzing and recognizing human actions, including walking, running, and other daily activities. However, the autoencoder (AE) technique trained on this dataset yields poor performance. This paper aims to enhance the performance of AEs on the challenging UniMiB-SHAR dataset by introducing a convolutional AE model and employing novel preprocessing techniques, including normalization, magnitude, principal component analysis (PCA), and balancing methods such as SMOTEEN and ADASYNE. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed AE model achieved successful performance, surpassing the state-of-the-art methods, with accuracies of 96.56% for activities of daily living (ADL), 98.86% for Fall, and 88.47% for the full dataset.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140079765","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}

Surface thermography shows promise in the non-invasive detection of thermal patterns associated with the existence of breast tumors. Nevertheless, the precise prediction of both tumor size and location using temperature characteristics presents a critical challenge. This is due to the limited availability of thermal images labeled with the corresponding tumor size and location. This work proposes a deep learning approach based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) in combination with thermographic images for estimating breast tumor size and location. Successive COMSOL-based simulations are conducted, including a 3D breast model with various tumor scenarios. Thus, different noise levels were included in the development of the thermographic image dataset. Every image was accordingly labeled with the corresponding tumor location and size to train the CNN model. Mean absolute error (MAE) and the coefficient of determination (R²) were considered as evaluation metrics. The results show that the proposed CNN model achieved a reasonable prediction performance with MAE–R² values of 0.872–98.6% for tumor size, 1.161–96.8% for x location, 1.086–97.1% for y location, and 0.954–96.7% for z location. This study indicates that the combination of surface thermography and deep learning is a convenient tool for predicting breast tumor parameters.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266438","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}

To overcome this limitation, we propose an information and communication technology (ICT) model for asynchronous teleconsultation in rural areas of Peru. This model, implemented through a system called SITEA, coordinates city-based specialists with treating physicians in rural areas and integrates care phases along with electronic clinical records. A case study conducted in a rural Peruvian healthcare facility, which had limited Internet connectivity and lacked teleconsultation services, revealed significant outcomes. Within 23 days of implementing SITEA, the facility began offering specialized care services, leading to a 60% reduction in patient transfers to specialized urban healthcare facilities. Furthermore, a satisfaction survey conducted with 50 patients resulted in overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding the quality of medical care and future expectations for healthcare services. These positive outcomes can be attributed to the implementation of specialized services, the shift from physical to electronic records, and improved diagnostic accuracy. Importantly, healthcare personnel found the system easy to navigate and highly beneficial, despite the area’s connectivity limitations.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266130","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}

Electric welders want required safety precautions to be implemented during work in industries with safety risks, especially muscle injuries. This challenge needs to be addressed by the safety officer, who should suggest a way to decrease the risk for workers. However, traditional assessment based on human evaluation and the need for expertise and accuracy in risk assessment have produced muscle injuries. Thus, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to mitigate risk assessment is cost-effective and accurate. This study proposed a risk assessment system for muscle injuries (RASMI) with AI technology to assess electric welder postures with rapid entire body assessment (REBA) standards to identify the cause of muscle injuries and to warn electric welders when their pose may be a risk. The findings showed that the system can effectively and precisely evaluate the risk assessment of electric welders’ muscle injuries. Additional results showed that they perceive using AI technology to enhance wellness positively in terms of working with warnings for posture adjustment or behavior that can significantly affect an operator’s long-term health and well-being.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266003","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 application of machine learning techniques is playing an important role in this era. Thyroid is one of the chronic endocrine diseases, and approximately 42 million people in India are affected by this disease. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the enhancement of classification performance through the novel ‘FeatureBoostThyro’ (FBT) model. The study evaluates various machine learning algorithms, including stochastic gradient descent (SGD), K nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression (LR), naive bayes (NB), and support vector machine (SVM), in conjunction with diverse feature selection methods. The research systematically explores the impact of feature selection techniques such as information gain, relief F, chi-square, gini index, forward selection, backward selection, recursive feature elimination, and LASSO on model performance across the chosen algorithms. The analysis reveals notable variations in performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, providing valuable insights into the interplay between algorithm and feature selection. One main contribution of this research is the introduction of the FBT model, which consistently outperforms other models across various feature selection methods, making it a promising tool for addressing complex classification tasks. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of model selection and optimization in machine learning applications.

This leads to increased service costs due to duplicated examinations and records, as well as additional time required to manage patients’ clinical information. One alternative for ensuring the secure interoperability of EHRs while preserving data privacy is the use of blockchain technology. However, existing works consider a pre-established format for exchanging EHRs, which is not applicable when systems have different formats, as is the case in Peru. This work proposes an architecture and a web application for exchanging EHRs in heterogeneous systems. The proposed system includes the homologation of an EHR with rapid interoperability resources for medical attention using FHIR HL7, and vice versa, to achieve interoperability. Additionally, it utilizes blockchain technology to ensure data security and privacy. The web application was tested using a case simulation to demonstrate EHR interoperability between clinics in a clear, secure, and efficient manner. In addition, a survey was conducted with 30 patients regarding adoption, and another survey was conducted with 10 doctors from a public hospital in Peru regarding usability. The results demonstrate a very high level of adoption and usability for them all. Unlike other studies, the proposal does not necessitate alterations to existing EHR systems for interoperability. In other words, the proposal presents a feasible and cost-effective alternative to addressing the EHR interoperability issue in clinics and hospitals in Peru.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140425536","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}
