An Edge-Fog Computing-Enabled Lossless EEG Data Compression With Epileptic Seizure Detection in IoMT Networks

Abstract

The need to improve smart health systems to monitor the health situation of patients has grown as a result of the spread of epidemic diseases, the ageing of the population, the increase in the number of patients and the lack of facilities to treat them. This led to an increased demand for remote healthcare systems using biosensors. These biosensors produce a large volume of sensed data that will be received by the edge of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to be forwarded to the data centers of the Cloud for further treatment. An Edge-Fog Computing Enabled Lossless EEG data compression with Epileptic Seizure Detection in IoMT networks is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach achieves three functionalities. First, it reduces the amount of sent data from the Edge to the Fog gateway using lossless EEG data compression based on a hybrid approach of k-means Clustering and Human Encoding (KCHE) at the Edge Gateway. Second, it decides the epileptic seizure situation of the patient at the Fog gateway based on the Epileptic Seizure Detector based Naive Bayes (ESDNB) algorithm. Third, it reduces the size of IoMT EEG data delivered to the Cloud using the same lossless compression algorithm in the rst step. Various measures implemented to show the eectiveness of the suggested approach and the comparison results conrm that the KCHE reduces the amount of EEG

Metaverse for Healthcare: A Survey on Potential Applications, Challenges and Future Directions

“…Fog computing, a computing layer between the cloud and the edge, plays the role of data examination, i.e., to decide whether the edge-collected data is relevant or worth for continuously sending to the cloud, thus resulting in traffic reduction. In [89], an edge-fog computing was applied to detect epileptic seizure using lossless electroencephalogram (EEG) data in IoMT systems. The proposed approach can reduce the amount of healthcare data from edges to the fog gateway with k-means clustering and Huffman encoding and identify the epileptic seizure condition with the Naïve Bayes algorithm.…”

Efficient IoT Big Data Streaming With Deep-Learning-Enabled Dynamics

“…ITH advancements of electronics, wireless, and intelligent algorithms [1,2], Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) [3,4], with high efficiency, intelligence, reliability, connectivity, and more features, is attracting intensive interests for smart health applications [5][6][7][8]. With the potential to continuously stream human bio-dynamics to the cloud, it is expected that IoMT can greatly boost the big data-driven precision health practices.…”

“…There have been previously reported studies on health monitor data compression [1]. Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) has been a common practice in many studies [10][11][12][13], which firstly transforms the original signal to the timefrequency domain, and then selects out significant wavelet coefficients for transmission.…”
