VIRFIM: an AI and Internet of Medical Things-driven framework for healthcare using smart sensors

Abstract

After affecting the world in unexpected ways, the virus has started mutating which is evident with the insurgence of its new variants. The governments, hospitals, schools, industries, and humans, in general, are looking for a potential solution in the vaccine which will eventually be available, but its timeline for eradicating the virus is yet unknown. Several researchers have encouraged and recommended the use of good practices such as physical healthcare monitoring, immunity boosting, personal hygiene, mental healthcare, and contact tracing for slowing down the spread of the virus. In this article, we propose the use of smart sensors integrated with the Internet of Medical Things to cover the spectrum of good practices in an automated manner. We present hypothetical frameworks for each of the good practice modules and propose the VIrus Resistance Framework using the Internet of Medical Things (VIRFIM) to tie all the individual modules in a unified architecture. Furthermore, we validate the realization of VIRFIM framework with two case studies related to physical activity monitoring and stress detection services. We envision that VIRFIM would be influential in assisting people with the new normal for current and future pandemics as well as instrumental in halting the economic losses, respectively. We also provide potential challenges and their probable solutions in compliance with the proposed VIRFIM.

Intelligence COVID-19 Monitoring Framework Based on Deep Learning and Smart Wearable IoT Sensors

“…The data must be cleaned and sorted before being fed into neural networks, making preprocessing an essential step. In the data preparation step, normalization and standardization are two methods that are often utilized [12]. In this analysis, data standardization was used to convert all values to a scale between zero and one for both the mean and standard deviation.…”

“…Experiments are performed on a public new Corona Virus 2019 dataset with a variable ratio of test sets. The COVID-19 epidemic in Egypt is predicted using AI-based models [12]. Among them are the LSTM, the convolutional neural network, and the multilayer perceptron neural network models.…”

A Systematic Review and IoMT Based Big Data Framework for COVID-19 Prevention and Detection

“…Ameni Kallel et al [75] employing a framework that incorporates machine learning (ML), cloud, fog, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, offer a new smart COVID-19 illness monitoring and prognostic system. Khowaja et al [76] underlined the necessity of integrating technologies to assist in dealing with COVID-19 and offered a hypothetical framework that connects smart sensors with the Internet of Medical Things to cover the gamut of best practices in an automated manner. Poongodi et al [77] proposed a sophisticated health-based IoT solution that can improve COVID-19 administration and generate better results with less money.…”

Reinforcement learning and blockchain‐based intelligent and secure vaccine recommender system

“…A vaccine recommender system (VRS) is an intelligent computer program that makes vaccination recommendations to people based on their medical histories, current health conditions, and other pertinent information like age, occupation, and past travel experiences Khowaja et al (2021). To determine the best vaccines for a person, the system examines their medical history, current health, and demographic data.…”
