Eye‐Tact: An ensemble based multi‐model and multidimensional approach for fall prediction and evaluation in Parkinson's Disease patients

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI), as a mainstream science today, has the potential to significantly improve human wellbeing and wellness. An automated caretaking system is being developed in this study to enable constant monitoring of people without requiring much human intervention. To do so, we must take into account a wide range of people's movements and varied perspectives in real‐time contexts. The proposed system, coined “Eye‐Tact”, integrates a vision‐based multimodel architecture with wearable sensors to identify poses and detect falls. For people with Parkinson's disease (PD), this patient‐specific, vision‐based keypoint analysis model has been successfully deployed for person identification and aberrant activity recognition. The proposed Multi Model Ensemble Technique (MMET) employs a variety of sensors to acquire data on physiological and other parameters that are necessary for fall prediction and evaluation. The measures used in the proposed system are precision, recall, F1 score and support. The above mentioned parameters are used to evaluate the performance of different models, including XGBoostClassifier, CatBoostClassifier, and RandomForestClassifier. The results reveal that the RantomForestClassifier outperforms other types of classifiers with 97% of accuracy. The proposed work demonstrates its capacity to develop a system that carefully understands and analyses heterogeneous data cautiously using state‐of‐the‐art technologies.

Research on multidimensional evaluation and prediction modelling

“…Nie et al [3] discuss a novel approach to identifying emerging academic talents using evaluation models combined with machine learning techniques. Radhakrishnan et al [4] describes a multi-model ensemble technique for fall prediction, highlighting its application in healthcare, particularly for patients with Parkinson's Disease. Thakar et al [5] present a model that addresses challenges in analyzing multidimensional and unbalanced datasets, with applications in various sectors including health and education.…”
