With the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is confronting various healthcare issues, and healthcare automation is more crucial than ever. The pandemic has revealed the limitations of existing digital healthcare systems to manage public health emergencies. There is no registered population for many healthcare institutions in Sri Lanka, as a result, there is a communication gap. Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) are becoming popular to share patient details but accessing scattered data across several EHRs while safeguarding patient privacy remains a challenge. Most of these medical records are in printed format and manually entering those into EHR systems is time-consuming and error prone. Not only that pharmaceutical error is a critical healthcare problem, but it is even riskier to visit doctors for pharmaceutical diagnosis during a pandemic. This research introduces a Blockchain-based patient health record system, an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) based Medical Document Scanner, a Drug Identifier based on Image Processing and a Medical Chatbot powered by NLP as four novel approaches to address these issues. Altogether with the results, this research aims at introducing a solution for the limitations in healthcare while providing a distributed healthcare framework for the healthcare community worldwide.

Strawberries are a very popular fruit and are widely consumed all over the world. Due to its nutritional value, its consumption has increased tremendously in recent times. Strawberry, which has such high health and economic value, is grown in only one area in Sri Lanka. This is since the climate in those areas is favorable for strawberries. Using the Internet of Things, image processing, and machine learning, this research proposed a design for a closed environment with automatic monitoring and controlling of environmental factors and nutrition required for strawberry cultivation with the capability of remote live monitoring and analysis of each plant. Also, the proposed system captures the images of each strawberry plant using a camera navigation system and analyses those images using a machine learning algorithm to identify the growing stage. This decision making process was verified using strawberry pictures acquired from a strawberry farm. In addition, current capturing images can use in the next growth cycle to increase accuracy. The proposed system can be easily expanded by increasing the height of the tower and refrigeration power. Through this, strawberry cultivation can be expanded to all parts of Sri Lanka by overcoming climatic and geographical limitations.

The adaptation of microservice architecture has increased massively during the last few years with the emergence of the cloud. Containers have become a common choice for microservices architecture instead of VMs (Virtual Machines) due to their portability and optimized resource usage characteristics. Along with the containers, container-orchestration platforms are also becoming an integral part of microservice-based systems, considering the flexibility and scalability offered by the container-orchestration media. With the virtualized implementation and the dynamic attribute of modern microservice architecture, it has been a cumbersome task to implement a proper observability mechanism to detect abnormal behaviour using conventional monitoring tools, which are most suitable for static infrastructures. We present a system that will collect required data with the understanding of the dynamic attribute of the system and identify anomalies with efficient data analysis methods.

It is quite common for medical drugs and prescriptions to be misidentified by hospitals and after drugs are being dispensed to the patients. Misidentification of medical drugs is more common among elderly and visually impaired patients. In hospital organizations, the leading medical error is adverse drug events. Another most common issue patients face is keeping track of medical lab reports. Our proposed mobile medical assistant system uses image processing to identify drugs with or without packaging, identifying prescription and medical lab reports. Furthermore, the mobile application will identify the trends of medical lab reports and predict next month’s results of the medical lab report of the patient using machine learning.

Use of digital payments has risen exponentially in the recent past especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because online payment methods offer many benefits in performing their day-to-day transactions and paying utility bills such as electricity bills, water bills, telephone bills and etc. Knowing when a consumer will perform a specific online transaction, or bill payment is beneficial to an online payment platform to plan marketing campaigns since targeted marketing has become very prevalent nowadays. However, predicting this is not an easy task since thousands of transactions are happening in each and every minute of an online payment platform. This paper presents the results of a study that investigated predicting the customer personalized, utility bill payment type wise next payment date of a financial company in Sri Lanka by using machine learning techniques. This is accomplished by analyzing not only online transaction history but also customer characteristics and a holiday calendar which is specific to Sri Lanka. At the end of the study, it was identified that XGBoost Regressor is the most suitable machine learning algorithm, etc deal with this scenario which provided 91.02% accuracy. These predictions will be used for sending personalized reminders and discount offers to customers without sending general common notifications when they are planning to do an online payment. Such reminders and offers will be notified on the mobile devices of the customers and, ultimately both customers and the business owners will be benefited by this.

The rapid proliferation of internet-based technology has made the sharing economy the next e-commerce business model. Recently, sharing economy lodging platforms have gained a significant market share in the tourism and lodging industry. Tourism and hospitality industries are now being significantly disrupted by Airbnb, an online lodging platform. For businesses and customers who utilize these accommodation platforms, online reviews serve as quality indicators, affecting their decisions to make a transaction. Sentiment analysis and text mining can be used to analyze these online reviews to identify various factors embedded in them that can influence how guests perceive lodging in the sharing economy. Peer-to-peer accommodation platforms can benefit from analyzing these aspects since they can utilize the results to streamline their operations and give customers better services. Current research on this domain has only identified a limited number of important factors, such as trust, quality, security, price, cleanliness, and indoor environmental quality. However, there can be many other factors that can affect the accommodation experience. These factors would require further attention. Therefore, in this study a dataset pertaining to the Airbnb platform was considered which contained a total of 401 964 review comments. Word cloud, frequency distribution, and topic modeling were used as data analysis techniques to identify various factors affecting accommodation experience. Results indicate that factors including location, safety, host-guest interaction, amenities, proximity to restaurants and transit options, and apartment uniqueness can be primarily taken into account to give superior services to their clients.

Natural language processing has become essential to modern conversational tools and dialogue engines, including Chatbots. However, applying natural language processing to low-resource languages is challenging due to their lack of digital presence. Sinhala is the native language of approximately nineteen million people in Sri Lanka and is one of many low-resource languages. Moreover, the increase in using code-switching: alternating two or more languages within the same conversation, and code-mixing: the practice of representing words of a language using characters of another language, has become another major issue when processing natural languages. Apart from natural language processing, the explainability of opaque machine learning models utilized in chatbots has become another prominent concern. None of the existing modern chatbot development platforms supports explainability and relies on a performance score such as accuracy or f1-score. This paper proposes a no-code chatbot development platform with a series of built-in novel natural language processing, model evaluation, and explainability tools to tackle the problems of processing Sinhala-English code-switching and code-mixing natural language data and model evaluation in modern chatbot development platforms.

Maintaining appropriate health by avoiding illnesses brought on by stress, heart disease, stroke, insomnia, and hormonal imbalance is made possible by managing the quality of sleep necessary for brain and memory-related tasks. In order to reduce these phenomena, we concentrated on recognizing them and developing strategies to do so. As a result, we decided to use smart pillows and bands that are Internet of Things (IoT)-based. To connect the touch sensor and relay module for improving sleep quality with the help of an automatic alarm system and light treatment system, an ESP-32 (microcontroller) was built into the pillow. The band will also have a second ESP 32 that can be connected to an oximeter, gyro, and accelerometer to improve the sleepwalk alert and health monitoring systems’ accuracy. The mobile application will also be created so that the patient and the doctor may review the patient’s sleeping patterns, and the CNN-based deep learning architecture was used to develop the emotion recognition function that uses music to improve sleep quality. For a better sleep experience, we will refer to the smart band and pillow as ”MAGICAL PILLOW” and ”MAGICAL BAND” as the ultimate products.

Dental health-related disorders have proliferated worldwide due to the excessive intake of fast food and sugary foods, which was followed by bad oral hygiene practices. The cost of dental examinations may change based on how critical the condition is, regardless of whether they are not regular. For a person, diagnosing an oral health problem, particularly locating the disease’s underlying cause, can be challenging. To properly diagnose and treat such conditions, advanced dental diagnostic techniques may be necessary. By offering convenience and enhancing their oral health knowledge, the system seeks to serve as a prediction tool that regular people can utilize to detect potential tooth illnesses at an early stage. It is encompassed as a mobile application where a Mask R-CNN model is used in the core that accepts a dental radiograph as the input. The trained model will be able to identify diseases related to the bone and teeth. Based on the performance evaluations, the accuracy of the results that are obtained in tooth type, restoration quality, dental caries, and periodontal disease identification falls in the range of 75%-80%.

The emerging energy crises allow consumers to be concerned with the energy consumption of their appliances. Consumption data of individual appliances as opposed to the entire house are therefore in high demand. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a way of producing individual appliance consumption data without using meters at individual appliances. Most studies have used signal features in steady state for device identification. However, many studies have not explored transient state signal characteristics for NILM. The voltage-current (V-I) trajectories during the transient state provide a unique way of representing the energy consumption of appliances. Although appliance-vise V-I characteristics have been considered in past studies, none has used aggregate V-I characteristics for appliance classification. Hence, using the V-I features of the aggregate data in an innovative manner for appliance classification has been explored in this work. The publicly available Plug-Level Appliance Identification Dataset (PLAID) was used to conduct this work. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been designed for device identification with 3 convolutional layers, a flatten layer and 4 fully connected layers. The results confirmed the possibility of using aggregate V-I trajectories for appliance classification with accuracies of up to 92% while retaining the full non-intrusive flavor of the study.
