Artificial Intelligence Based Body Sensor Network Framework—Narrative Review: Proposing an End-to-End Framework using Wearable Sensors, Real-Time Location Systems and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Algorithms for Data Collection, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Sports and Healthcare

Abstract

With the rising amount of data in the sports and health sectors, a plethora of applications using big data mining have become possible. Multiple frameworks have been proposed to mine, store, preprocess, and analyze physiological vitals data using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Comparatively, less research has been done to collect potentially high volume, high-quality ‘big data’ in an organized, time-synchronized, and holistic manner to solve similar problems in multiple fields. Although a large number of data collection devices exist in the form of sensors. They are either highly specialized, univariate and fragmented in nature or exist in a lab setting. The current study aims to propose artificial intelligence-based body sensor network framework (AIBSNF), a framework for strategic use of body sensor networks (BSN), which combines with real-time location system (RTLS) and wearable biosensors to collect multivariate, low noise, and high-fidelity data. This facilitates gathering of time-synchronized location and physiological vitals data, which allows artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)-based time series analysis. The study gives a brief overview of wearable sensor technology, RTLS, and provides use cases of AI/ML algorithms in the field of sensor fusion. The study also elaborates sample scenarios using a specific sensor network consisting of pressure sensors (insoles), accelerometers, gyroscopes, ECG, EMG, and RTLS position detectors for particular applications in the field of health care and sports. The AIBSNF may provide a solid blueprint for conducting research and development, forming a smooth end-to-end pipeline from data collection using BSN, RTLS and final stage analytics based on AI/ML algorithms.

“…Recently, wearable sensors and wireless body area networks (WBANs) have been extensively studied for gait analysis and remote body condition monitoring [15,16]. A framework namely artificial intelligence-based body sensor network framework (AIBSNF) [15] has been proposed to strategize the usage of body sensor networks (BSNs). e proposed framework optimizes real-time location system (RTLS) and wearable biosensors to gather multivariate, lownoise, and high-fidelity data.…”

How artificial intelligence enables modeling and simulation of biological networks to accelerate drug discovery

“…AI-enabled modeling and simulation are promising tools to improve data interpretation and distinguish between changes that are caused by a disease from those that cause the disease. Next-generation systems biology will undoubtedly benefit from AI methods capable of converting multi-omics data at different scales into actionable knowledge (Nielsen, 2017;Angione, 2019), especially considering the expected advances in data collection from patients (e.g., biosensors for measuring the concentration of chemical species from body fluids) (Jin et al, 2020;Bhave et al, 2021;Phatak et al, 2021). In turn, personalized datasets are poised to substantially enhance the ability of AI for parametrizing quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) models that combine systems biology with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) in order to find optimized therapeutics for individual patients or populations with a given disease [for example, see (McEwen et al, 2021)].…”

Health, Security and Fire Safety Process Optimisation Using Intelligence at the Edge

“…The process uses techniques that include the use of “situational knowledge” or “features” ( Table 1 ) essential to train the machine learning system to improve decision-making and prediction capability. Machine learning (ML) [ 20 ] requires a training data set to extract associations and insights from disparate data. Hardware-constrained microcontroller “edge” devices use (TinyML) [ 11 ] models created in the cloud to function at the “edge” [ 21 ].…”
