Towards an Accurate Faults Detection Approach in Internet of Medical Things Using Advanced Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

Remotely monitoring people’s healthcare is still among the most important research topics for researchers from both industry and academia. In addition, with the Wireless Body Networks (WBANs) emergence, it becomes possible to supervise patients through an implanted set of body sensors that can communicate through wireless interfaces. These body sensors are characterized by their tiny sizes, and limited resources (power, computing, and communication capabilities), which makes these devices prone to have faults and sensible to be damaged. Thus, it is necessary to establish an efficient system to detect any fault or anomalies when receiving sensed data. In this paper, we propose a novel, optimized, and hybrid solution between machine learning and statistical techniques, for detecting faults in WBANs that do not affect the devices’ resources and functionality. Experimental results illustrate that our approach can detect unwanted measurement faults with a high detection accuracy ratio that exceeds the 99.62%, and a low mean absolute error of 0.61%, clearly outperforming the existing state-of-art solutions.

A Lightweight Identity-Based Network Coding Scheme for Internet of Medical Things

“…At present, the network coding scheme in the IoMT environment needs to solve three problems: well-documented pollution attack [8,9], adaptive chosen-message attacks, and how to reduce the communication cost of network coding as much as possible [10].…”

Machine-Learning-Based Detection of Pressure-Induced Faults in Continuous Glucose Monitors

“…Three broad categories include quantitative and qualitative model-based methods and retrospective history-based methods . Fault detection has been applied to healthcare, , with many machine learning − and deep learning approaches seeing success. However, model-based or rule-based approaches are primarily used for CGM fault detection.…”
