To support effective long-term patient monitoring, an Optimized Rotation-Invariant Coordinate Convolutional Neural Network-driven Medical IoT Recommendation System integrating Sentiment Analysis for Improved Patient Preference Prediction (RICNN-IoT-SA-IPP) is proposed. The system collects multimodal data, including physiological and behavioural signals from IoT-based healthcare sensors and combines it with patient feedback sourced from electronic health records and medical consultation platforms. A Fast Guided Median Filter (FGMF) is employed to denoise and normalize the input, followed by spatial feature extraction utilizing Synchro-Transient-Extracting Transform (STET). These features are analyzed through a Multimodal Contrastive Domain Sharing Generative Adversarial Network (MCDSGAN) to infer patient sentiment. A Rotation-Invariant Coordinate Convolutional Neural Network (RICNN) then performs preference prediction. To enhance prediction accuracy, the Levy Pelican Optimization Algorithm (LPOA) is used for optimizing feature weights and model parameters. The system performance is evaluated using Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Computational Time. The proposed RICNN-IoT-SA-IPP model achieved 99.32% accuracy and 98.34% precision, while maintaining low error rates with MAE = 0.0855 and MSE = 0.0864, respectively. When compared with existing models, these outcomes represent an improvement of approximately 3–5% in classification metrics and a significant reduction in prediction error. This demonstrates that the proposed framework provides highly accurate, reliable, and computationally efficient patient preference predictions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55362,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Signal Processing and Control","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 109742"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional monitoring approaches often rely on costly equipment and subjective self-reports, limiting timely interventions. Moreover, existing deep learning models suffer from issues like limited data quality, poor handling of outliers and lack of accurate risk assessment. To overcome these complications, IoT Based Air Quality Monitoring and Asthma Alerts Driven by Non-Crossing Quantile Regression Neural Networks (AM-IoT-NCQRNN) is proposed. Initially, the data is collected from Air Quality and Health Impact Dataset. Then the input data is preprocessed under Robust Maximum Correntropy Kalman Filter (RMCKF) to handle missing elements, noise and outliers. RMCKF is for its correntropy-based similarity, offering superior outlier suppression compared to median filters, low-rank imputation and standard Kalman filtering. Afterwards, the preprocessed data is given to the Non-Crossing Quantile Regression Neural Network (NCQRNN) which predicts and classifies health impact scores of asthma as very high, high, moderate, very low and low. NCQRNN applies a non-crossing quantile constraint, ensuring stable and interpretable risk estimation compared to Regression Neural Networks (RNNs) that yield inconsistent boundaries under fluctuating inputs. The proposed approach is implemented as a smartphone application, with real-time data collected through an IoT-based system using a Raspberry Pi and estimated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, specificity, ROC and computational time. Finally, the performance of proposed AM-IoT-NCQRNN method attains 19.76%, 24.00% and 19.07% higher accuracy and 29.56%, 24.22% and 28.57% higher precision when compared with existing methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55362,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Signal Processing and Control","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 109565"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These complicate generalizing DL models across multi-site heterogeneous datasets while maintaining the confidentiality of the data. One of the possible solutions is to employ federated learning (FL), which enables the collaborative training of a DL model in a decentralized manner, demanding the involved sites to share only the characteristics of the models without transferring their sensitive medical data.
