Wearable computers can be used in different domains including healthcare. However, due to suffering from challenges such as faults their applications may be limited in real practice. So, in designing ...wearable devices, designer must take into account fault tolerance techniques. This study aims to investigate the challenging issues of fault tolerance in wearable computing. For this purpose, different aspects of fault tolerance in wearable computing namely hardware, software, energy, and communication are studied; and state of the art research regarding each category is analysed. In this analysis, the performed works using the fault tolerance techniques are included in the form of 25 components and referred to as "fault tolerance plan". Using this fault tolerance plan and the appropriate profile, the fault tolerance of any wearable system can be evaluated. In this article, fault tolerances of several of the most prominent works conducted in the field of wearable computing were evaluated. The obtained results, with the medical profile, showed that only one wearable system had a fault tolerance of 91%, with the other systems having a fault tolerance of 24% or less. Also, the results obtained from evaluating these works, with the military profile, showed that only one wearable system had a fault tolerance of 76%, with the other systems having a fault tolerance of 19% or less. These mean that few studies have been conducted on the fault tolerance of wearable computing.Wearable computers can be used in different domains including healthcare.

This investigation considered the breast-histology pictures for the study and binary classification is employed to achieve Normal/Cancer class grouping of images. The proposed work compared the classification performance of AlexNet, VGG16 and VGG19.The experimental outcome of this study authenticates that the AlexNet with the Random-Forest (RF) classifier helps to get a higher classification accuracy (>87%) compared to VGG16 and VGG19.
Detection of arrhythmia of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals recorded within several sessions for each person is a challenging issue, which has not been properly investigated in the past. This ...arrhythmia detection is challenging since a classification model that is constructed and tested using ECG signals maintains generalization when dealing with unseen samples. This article has proposed a new interpretable meta structural learning algorithm for this challenging detection. Therefore, a compound loss function was suggested including the structural feature extraction fault and space label fault with GUMBEL-SOFTMAX distribution in the convolutional neural network (CNN) models. The collaboration between models was carried out to create learning to learn features in models by transferring the knowledge among them when confronted by unseen samples. One of the deficiencies of a meta-learning algorithm is the non-interpretability of its models. Therefore, to create an interpretability feature for CNN models, they are encoded as the evolutionary trees of the genetic programming (GP) algorithms in this article. These trees learn the process of extracting deep structural features in the course of the evolution in the GP algorithm. The experimental results suggested that the proposed detection model enjoys an accuracy of 98% regarding the classification of 7 types of arrhythmia in the samples of the Chapman ECG dataset recorded from 10646 patients in different sessions. Finally, the comparisons demonstrated the competitive performance of the proposed model concerning the other models based on the big deep models.
The 12 leads of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals show the heart activities from different angles of coronal and axial planes; hence, the signals of these 12 leads have functional dependence on each ...other. This paper proposes a novel method for fusing the data of 12-lead ECG signals to diagnose heart problems. In the first phase of the proposed method, the time-frequency transform is employed to fuse the functional data of leads and extract the frequency data of ECG signals in 12 leads. After that, their dependence is evaluated through the correlation analysis. In the second phase, a structural learning method is adopted to extract the structural data from these 12 leads. Moreover, deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models are coded in this phase through genetic programming. These trees are responsible for learning deep structural features from functional data extracted from 12 leads. These trees are upgraded through the execution of the genetic programming (GP) algorithm to extract the optimal features. These two phases are used together to fuse the leads of ECG signals to diagnose various heart problems. According to the test results on ChapmanECG, including the signals of 10,646 patients, the proposed method enjoys the mean accuracy of 97.60% in the diagnosis of various types of arrhythmias in the Chapman dataset. It also outperformed the state-of-the-art methods.

This research considered dermoscopy images of International Skin Imaging Collaboration benchmark dataset for the experimental assessment and the result of the proposed framework is separately analysed for segmentation and classification tasks. In this work, benign and malignant class images are considered for the examination and during the classification task, integration of the deep and handcrafted features are considered. The experimental results of this study present a segmentation accuracy of > 98% with UNet and a classification accuracy of > 98% with VGG16 combined with Random Forest classifier.
Abstract
The vital organ in human physiology is the brain, and abnormality in the brain will reason for various behavioural problems. Ischemic-Stroke is a medical emergency, and early detection and ...action will help the patient recover quickly. This scheme aims to implement Convolutional-Neural-Network (CNN) segmentation method to extract and evaluate the infected portion from the MRI slice of the brain. In our study the pre-trained UNet scheme is adopted to extract the stroke region from the Flair modality MRI slice with axial-, coronal- and sagittal plane. In this work, the ISLES2015 database is used for the experimental investigation. The segmented portion is further evaluated to the ground-truth and the metrics such as Jaccard, Dice and Accuracy are computed. The experimental investigation is implemented using Python software. The experimental outcome of this research proves that the proposed CNN scheme aids to improve segmentation accuracy on axial-plane images compared with other images. The performance of the CNN segmentation scheme is then validated with other related results existing in the literature. The outcome of this study confirms that UNet supported technique helps extract the stroke lesion from the MRI slice with more accurate accuracy.
In recent times, Internet of Things (IoT) has become a hot research topic and it aims at interlinking several sensor-enabled devices mainly for data gathering and tracking applications. Wireless ...Sensor Network (WSN) is an important component in IoT paradigm since its inception and has become the most preferred platform to deploy several smart city application areas like home automation, smart buildings, intelligent transportation, disaster management, and other such IoT-based applications. Clustering methods are widely-employed energy efficient techniques with a primary purpose i.e., to balance the energy among sensor nodes. Clustering and routing processes are considered as Non-Polynomial (NP) hard problems whereas bio-inspired techniques have been employed for a known time to resolve such problems. The current research paper designs an Energy Efficient Two-Tier Clustering with Multi-hop Routing Protocol (EETTC-MRP) for IoT networks. The presented EETTC-MRP technique operates on different stages namely, tentative Cluster Head (CH) selection, final CH selection, and routing. In first stage of the proposed EETTC-MRP technique, a type II fuzzy logic-based tentative CH (T2FL-TCH) selection is used. Subsequently, Quantum Group Teaching Optimization Algorithm-based Final CH selection (QGTOA-FCH) technique is deployed to derive an optimum group of CHs in the network. Besides, Political Optimizer based Multihop Routing (PO-MHR) technique is also employed to derive an optimal selection of routes between CHs in the network. In order to validate the efficacy of EETTC-MRP method, a series of experiments was conducted and the outcomes were examined under distinct measures. The experimental analysis infers that the proposed EETTC-MRP technique is superior to other methods under different measures.
