The beginning of the disease was in the Chinese city of Wuhan and then it has been spread and became a global epidemic. An early diagnosis of COVID-19 disease is absolutely necessary to control the epidemic. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this paper is to present a review of the contribution of machine learning (ML) and IoT to confront the epidemic. METHODS: Diagnosis using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a definite diagnosis, but this method takes time, while a diagnosis using a computed tomography (CT) scan is a faster approach to diagnosis. However, a large number of patients need a CT scan, which puts a lot of pressure on the radiologist so visual fatigue may lead to diagnostic errors so there is an urgent need for additional solutions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an efficient tool to combat COVID-19 disease. Computer scientists have been developing many systems to handle this epidemic. RESULTS: It was found that ML is an efficient and powerful AI technology that can be used for trustworthy COVID-19 detecting and diagnosis from X-ray and CT images and it can be a potential method for diagnosis in the radiology department. In addition, ML can be used in segmentation, prediction purposes for COVID-19. Furthermore, ML can effectively support drug discovery procedure and can reduce clinical failures. CONCLUSION: IoT has a significant role in monitoring an individual's health and COVID-19 diagnosis. This paper also highlights the challenges of employing ML and intelligent IoT for fighting COVID-19. more »

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides detailed visualization of the various anatomical structures decisive for interventions and surgical plans. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this paper is to design and apply an enhanced brain tumor MRI segmentation using K-mean with K-means as machine learning based Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Firefly Algorithm (FA). METHODS: A novel fitness function of Swarm Based PSO works on velocity variation is introduced, which enhances the segmented regions. The traditional k-means algorithm is enhanced by applying PSO to the segmented part. Another extension of Swarm Intelligence named Firefly is applied to compare the results of the PSO based segmentation, and Firefly based segmentation is used. RESULTS: The simulation results are evaluated in terms of precision (98%), recall (0.95), f-measure (0.96), accuracy (97%), and segmentation time (2.63s) to measure the image segmentation the quality of main results obtained. CONCLUSION: Comparative studies have shown that the proposed design using k-means combined with FA exhibited high accuracy and precision in detecting brain tumor RoI. more »

This research work proposes a methodology to encounter the future infection rate, curing rate, and decease rate. OBJECTIVES: This uses the artificial intelligence algorithm to design and develop the proposed confirmed, cured, deceased (COCUDE) model. METHODS: A nonlinear auto-regressive model has been developed with several iterations to design the proposed COCUDE model. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Correlated Akaike Information criterion (AICc) metrics are analyzed to check the stationary and quality for the proposed COCUDE model. RESULTS: The prediction results are evaluated by the performance error metrics such as mean square error (MSE) and root mean square error (RMSE), in which the errors are lower for the proposed model. Thus, the prediction results indicate the proposed COCUDE model might accurately predict future COVID-19 infection rates with reduced errors. CONCLUSION: It might support the corresponding authorities to take precautious action on the required necessities for the medical and clinical infrastructures and equipment. more »

Mobility assessment tests can detect fall risk and may induce interventions that prevent a fall. OBJECTIVES: To assess mobility of older persons using real time data and to compare these data with the mobility assessment of physiotherapists. METHODS: 20 older people aged 74±5 (mean ± SD) were monitored over 10 months to investigate the performance of an automated mobility tracker. Physiotherapists performed periodic mobility assessments. Annotated 3d recordings served as ground truth data. RESULTS: High correlation (r=0.684) of annotated and tracked gait speed was found. The mean absolute error is 0.16 m/s. CONCLUSION: 3D mobility trackers can be used to collect long-term mobility data. Since changes in mobility might indicate functional decline, long-term tracking allows to react to changes in mobility. Such a technology may have essential medical and social value. more »

The deficiency of sodium in the blood indulges many problems for the patients. If the sodium range in human serum not managed and treated it creates difficulties such as longer hospital stays and mortality. OBJECTIVES: This paper focuses on forecasting the sodium ranges of patient using the machine learning algorithm supported by the past health records of the patients. METHODS: The vital patient information including the disease history, age, gender, and serum sodium level before and after hospital admission are analysed using the logistic regression, k-nearest neighbour, multilayer perceptron, and extra-trees ensemble classification algorithm.The results of the classification algorithm show that the proposed MLP algorithm produces higher prediction results as compared to other machine learning algorithms. Also, the confusion matrix, Kappa score, R square value and error metrics. CONCLUSION: The results show that the MLP classification is more suitable prognostic analysis of the hyponatremia for diseased patients. more »
