The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a crucial tool for studying brain activity; yet it frequently encounters artifacts that distort meaningful neural signals. This paper addresses the challenge of artifact removal through a unique hybrid method, combining Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) techniques with Blind Source Separation (BSS) algorithms. VMD, recognized for its adaptability to non-linear and non-stationary EEG data, as well as its ability to alleviate mode mixing and the “endpoint effect,” which serves as an effective preprocessing step. The paper evaluates the performance of two integrated BSS algorithms, AMICA and AMUSE, across various criteria. Comparisons across metrics such as Euclidean distance, Spearman correlation coefficient, and Root Mean Square Error reveal similar performance between AMICA and AMUSE. However, a distinct divergence is evident in the Signal to Artifact Ratio (SAR). When employed with VMD, AMICA demonstrates superiority in effectively discerning and segregating brain signals from artifacts, which gives a mean value of 1.0924. This study introduces a potent hybrid VMDBSS approach for enhancing EEG signal quality. The findings emphasize the notable impact of AMICA, particularly in achieving optimal results in artifact removal, as indicated by its superior performance in SAR. The abstract concludes by underlining the significance of these results, emphasizing AMICA’s pivotal role in achieving the highest measurable evaluation value, making it a compelling choice for researchers and practitioners in EEG signal processing.

Diabetes may lead to several problems, one of the most prevalent and deadly of which is diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, the condition represents a significant threat to one’s health since it has the potential to cause irreversible harm to the kidneys’ ability to operate. A significant portion of the research that is being conducted now is focused on determining how accurately diabetic people may be predicted to develop kidney illness. Considering this, the research suggests a regression stacking approach for predicting albumin levels. These albumin values will serve as a reference for the incidence of diabetic nephropathy disease. They will be derived from the medical records of patients. The utilization of stacking regression from three different ensemble approaches, using Random Forest and CatBoost regressors, while the Huber algorithm is used as a meta-learner. The accuracy with which the combination of parameters that are employed is determined is a significant factor. It contributes to the high degree of performance that the ensemble approach achieves. Therefore, in this investigation, a grid search was carried out to tune the hyperparameters of both regressor models. We evaluated the performance of the proposed model using accuracy, MAPE, RMSE, and MSE values. The experimental findings demonstrate great performance. Three selected variables including quantitative UACR, semi-quantitative UACR, and urinary creatinine, achieved high performance. Overall, the performance obtained an accuracy rate of more than 98% with an error rate (MAPE, RMSE, and MSE values) of less than 1%. In conclusion, the stack regressor model can be implemented to predict diabetic nephropathy using clinical datasets.

Real-time heart rate monitoring and early detection of heart abnormalities are vital to determine heart health before it worsens. To achieve this goal, this project uses the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) method including its capability to classify heartbeats into normal or abnormal by inputting heartbeat values in BPM units derived from prototypes utilizing sensors like Sensor Easy Pulse and NodeMCU, along with considerations of age and sports activity. All data from sensors will be stored in Firebase. Then Firebase will connect to Android, and the normal and abnormal heart classification results will be displayed on the Android system. Simulation results successfully examined 40 people as a sample and provided information from real-time heart rate monitoring, age, and sports activity as input. This research seeks to contribute to improving health services at various public health service centers and independently in detecting heart health early.

Stress is a state of mental tension, which helps us to cope with challenges in our life. It makes us progressive when it is positive, but excessive negative stress that perseveres for a long time leads to a state of depressiveness. Longer stressed stage of a human being changes the size, functionality and frequency of response of many internal and external body parameters. By applying computer vision techniques, these changes of body parameters can be tracked to get useful information about the mental stress for a stress affected person. Many studies show the pupil diameter varies significantly with the effect of stress. Our work is based on the study of variation of pupil diameters of stress affected and not affected university students. With the application of different supervised machine learning algorithms, we have observed that the pupil dilates more in case of stress affected students than non-stressed students. We have also found that the pupils of the students dilates more when they were in positive emotional states than their negative emotional states. This work will be helpful for researchers who are working in the field of emotion detection and recognition and affective disorder analysis.

Intravenous (IV) infusion is a pervasive medical intervention, administered to approximately 90% of hospitalized patients. Phlebitis, characterized by inflammation of the veins resulting from infusion, stands as a prevalent complication, ranking fourth among hospitalacquired infections globally. This research investigates the efficacy of a Smartphone Early Warning System (EWS) display in mitigating the incidence of phlebitis within the Safa treatment room at Aisyiyah Hospital. Employing a pre-experimental research design with a Static-group Comparison approach, 16 respondents were allocated to treatment and control groups. The Mann-Whitney Test, a statistical analysis, unveiled a significant difference (P Value = 0.001 < 0.05) in phlebitis incidence between the treatment group, utilizing the Smartphone EWS display, and the control group, which relied on conventional monitoring methods. Notably, the average rank of phlebitis incidence in the control group (21.12) exceeded that in the treatment group (9.78). This study sheds light on the potential of the Smartphone EWS display to curtail phlebitis during infusion, emphasizing its role in advancing nursing care quality through real-time monitoring and early prevention strategies.

The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things has significantly enhanced our daily lives across various dimensions. E-health has significantly benefited from advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly with the emergence of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). A sophisticated wireless sensor network produces a huge amount of data, requiring robust cloud-based hardware for precise processing and categorization. The IoMT allows for the extensive gathering of medical data from incoming hospital patients, enabling real-time monitoring of vital signs and health statuses. Nevertheless, effectively prioritizing patients in emergencies is challenging due to the importance and complicatedness of the data. To tackle this issue, an innovative solution involves integrating Explainable Artificial Intelligence into the IoMT ecosystem. By incorporating Explainable AI, the system enhances explainability, fostering trust and reliability in patient prioritization. This provides healthcare providers a more reliable prioritization mechanism that aligns with established medical guidelines. The study explores IoMT devices for collecting medical data from incoming patients, focusing on the MQTT protocol for lightweight devices, aiming to guide patients to the right department and prioritize emergency management through IoMT data analysis.

The IoMT allows for the extensive gathering of medical data from incoming hospital patients, enabling real-time monitoring of vital signs and health statuses. Nevertheless, effectively prioritizing patients in emergencies is challenging due to the importance and complicatedness of the data. To tackle this issue, an innovative solution involves integrating Explainable Artificial Intelligence into the IoMT ecosystem. By incorporating Explainable AI, the system enhances explainability, fostering trust and reliability in patient prioritization. This provides healthcare providers a more reliable prioritization mechanism that aligns with established medical guidelines. The study explores IoMT devices for collecting medical data from incoming patients, focusing on the MQTT protocol for lightweight devices, aiming to guide patients to the right department and prioritize emergency management through IoMT data analysis. \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141007807","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}
