Many patients have begun to use mobile applications to handle different health needs because they can better access high-speed Internet and smartphones. These devices and mobile applications are now increasingly used and integrated through the medical Internet of Things (mIoT). mIoT is an important part of the digital transformation of healthcare, because it can introduce new business models and allow efficiency improvements, cost control and improve patient experience. In the mIoT system, when migrating from traditional medical services to electronic medical services, patient protection and privacy are the priorities of each stakeholder. Therefore, it is recommended to use different user authentication and authorization methods to improve security and privacy. In this paper, our prosed model involves a shared identity verification process with different situations in the e-health system. We aim to reduce the strict and formal specification of the joint key authentication model. We use the AVISPA tool to verify through the wellknown HLPSL specification language to develop user authentication and smart card use cases in a user-friendly environment. Our model has economic and strategic advantages for healthcare organizations and healthcare workers. The medical staff can increase their knowledge and ability to analyze medical data more easily. Our model can continuously track health indicators to automatically manage treatments and monitor health data in real time. Further, it can help customers prevent chronic diseases with the enhanced cognitive functions support. The necessity for efficient identity verification in e-health care is even more crucial for cognitive mitigation because we increasingly rely on mIoT systems.

The suspension of institutions around the world in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 virus did not stop the learning process. E-learning concepts and digital technologies enable students to learn from a safe distance while continuing their educational pursuits. Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most rapidly increasing technologies in today’s digital world; and e-learning is one of the most powerful learning methods available. In today’s world, smart devices and new technologies assist teachers in concentrating on new models of student learning while avoiding time wastage. By examining the characteristics of the Internet of Things and the challenges that exist in the field of e-learning, the potential functions, benefits, and advancements of utilizing the Internet of Things in online education are identified and discussed. This article examines the existing and future condition of the Internet of Things world as it pertains to the topic of education and sophisticated capabilities available through the Internet of Things that enable the application of e-learning after an architecture has been designed. Students’ pulse rates, brain waves, and skin resistance are measured in real time by a collection of IoT sensors, including cameras, microphones, and wearable gadgets. By utilizing the proposed architecture, universities can change their distance learning tactics to maximize resources and boost efficiency without changing their overall academic activities. According to the study’s findings, e-learning has a favorable and statistically significant impact on students’ flexibility, learning experience, educational productivity, and overall quality of education.

In diabetic retinopathy (DR), the early signs that may lead the eyesight towards complete vision loss are considered as microaneurysms (MAs). The shape of these MAs is almost circular, and they have a darkish color and are tiny in size, which means they may be missed by manual analysis of ophthalmologists. In this case, accurate early detection of microaneurysms is helpful to cure DR before non-reversible blindness. In the proposed method, early detection of MAs is performed using a hybrid feature embedding approach of pre-trained CNN models, named as VGG-19 and Inception-v3. The performance of the proposed approach was evaluated using publicly available datasets, namely “E-Ophtha” and “DIARETDB1”, and achieved 96% and 94% classification accuracy, respectively. Furthermore, the developed approach outperformed the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of sensitivity and specificity for microaneurysms detection.
