RESUMO
Introduction: Our research addresses the critical need for accurate segmentation in medical healthcare applications, particularly in lung nodule detection using Computed Tomography (CT). Our investigation focuses on determining the particle composition of lung nodules, a vital aspect of diagnosis and treatment planning. Methods: Our model was trained and evaluated using several deep learning classifiers on the LUNA-16 dataset, achieving superior performance in terms of the Probabilistic Rand Index (PRI), Variation of Information (VOI), Region of Interest (ROI), Dice Coecient, and Global Consistency Error (GCE). Results: The evaluation demonstrated a high accuracy of 91.76% for parameter estimation, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Discussion: Our investigation focuses on determining the particle composition of lung nodules, a vital aspect of diagnosis and treatment planning. We proposed a novel segmentation model to identify lung disease from CT scans to achieve this. We proposed a learning architecture that combines U-Net with a Two-parameter logistic distribution for accurate image segmentation; this hybrid model is called U-Net++, leveraging Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) on a 5,000 set of CT scan images.
RESUMO
Nowadays, there is a growing need for Internet of Things (IoT)-based mobile healthcare applications that help to predict diseases. In recent years, several people have been diagnosed with diabetes, and according to World Health Organization (WHO), diabetes affects 346 million individuals worldwide. Therefore, we propose a noninvasive self-care system based on the IoT and machine learning (ML) that analyses blood sugar and other key indicators to predict diabetes early. The main purpose of this work is to develop enhanced diabetes management applications which help in patient monitoring and technology-assisted decision-making. The proposed hybrid ensemble ML model predicts diabetes mellitus by combining both bagging and boosting methods. An online IoT-based application and offline questionnaire with 15 questions about health, family history, and lifestyle were used to recruit a total of 10221 people for the study. For both datasets, the experimental findings suggest that our proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art techniques.
