[PMID: 38095786 DOI: 10.1007/s11517-023-02973-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
New potential for healthcare has been made possible by the development of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) with deep learning. This is applied for a broad range of applications. Normal medical devices together with sensors can gather important data when connected to the Internet, and deep learning uses this data to reveal symptoms and patterns and activate remote care. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic caused more mortality. Millions of people have been affected by this virus, and the number of infections is continually rising daily. To detect COVID-19, researchers attempt to utilize medical imaging and deep learning-based methods. Several methodologies were suggested utilizing chest X-ray (CXR) images for COVID-19 diagnosis. But these methodologies do not provide satisfactory accuracy. To overcome these drawbacks, a recalling-enhanced recurrent neural network optimized with golden eagle optimization algorithm (RERNN-GEO) is proposed in this paper. The intention of this work is to provide IoT-based deep learning method for the premature identification of COVID-19. This paradigm can be able to ease the workload of radiologists and medical specialists and also help with pandemic control. RERNN-GEO is a deep learning-based method; this is utilized in chest X-ray (CXR) images for COVID-19 diagnosis. Here, the Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) window adaptive algorithm is used for extracting features to enable accurate diagnosis. By utilizing this algorithm, the proposed method attains better accuracy (33.84%, 28.93%, and 33.03%) and lower execution time (11.06%, 33.26%, and 23.33%) compared with the existing methods. This method can be capable of helping the clinician/radiologist to validate the initial assessment related to COVID-19.

Abstract
COVID-19 is one of the most chronic and serious infections of recent years due to its worldwide spread. Determining who was genuinely affected when the disease spreads more widely is challenging. More than 60% of affected individuals report having a dry cough. In many recent studies, diagnostic models were developed using coughing and other breathing sounds. With the development of technology, body sounds are now collected using digital techniques for respiratory and cardiovascular tests. Early research on identifying COVID-19 utilizing speech and diagnosing signs yielded encouraging findings. The gathering of extensive, multi-group, airborne acoustical sound data is used in the developed framework to conduct an efficient assessment to test for COVID-19. An effective classification model is created to assess COVID-19 utilizing deep learning methods. The MIT-Covid-19 dataset is used as the input, and the Weiner filter is used for pre-processing. Following feature extraction done by Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, the classification is performed using the CNN-LSTM approach. The study compared the performance of the developed framework with other techniques such as CNN, GRU, and LSTM. Study results revealed that CNN-LSTM outperformed other existing approaches by 97.7%.

Abstract
The infectious disease Covid-19 has been causing severe social, economic, and human suffering across the globe since 2019. The countries have utilized different strategies in the last few years to combat Covid-19 based on their capabilities, technological infrastructure, and investments. A massive epidemic like this cannot be controlled without an intelligent and automatic health care system. The first reaction to the disease outbreak was lockdown, and researchers focused more on developing methods to diagnose the disease and recognize its behavior. However, as the new lifestyle becomes more normalized, research has shifted to utilizing computer-aided methods to monitor, track, detect, and treat individuals and provide services to citizens. Thus, the Internet of things, based on fog-cloud computing, using artificial intelligence approaches such as machine learning, and deep learning are practical concepts. This article aims to survey computer-based approaches to combat Covid-19 based on prevention, detection, and service provision. Technically and statistically, this article analyzes current methods, categorizes them, presents a technical taxonomy, and explores future and open issues.

Abstract
In light of the constantly changing terrain of the COVID outbreak, medical specialists have implemented proactive schemes for vaccine production. Despite the remarkable COVID-19 vaccine development, the virus has mutated into new variants, including delta and omicron. Currently, the situation is critical in many parts of the world, and precautions are being taken to stop the virus from spreading and mutating. Early identification and diagnosis of COVID-19 are the main challenges faced by emerging technologies during the outbreak. In these circumstances, emerging technologies to tackle Coronavirus have proven magnificent. Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, the internet of medical things (IoMT), robotics, blockchain technology, telemedicine, smart applications, and additive manufacturing are suspicious for detecting, classifying, monitoring, and locating COVID-19. Henceforth, this research aims to glance at these COVID-19 defeating technologies by focusing on their strengths and limitations. A CiteSpace-based bibliometric analysis of the emerging technology was established. The most impactful keywords and the ongoing research frontiers were compiled. Emerging technologies were unstable due to data inconsistency, redundant and noisy datasets, and the inability to aggregate the data due to disparate data formats. Moreover, the privacy and confidentiality of patient medical records are not guaranteed. Hence, Significant data analysis is required to develop an intelligent computational model for effective and quick clinical diagnosis of COVID-19. Remarkably, this article outlines how emerging technology has been used to counteract the virus disaster and offers ongoing research frontiers, directing readers to concentrate on the real challenges and thus facilitating additional explorations to amplify emerging technologies.

Abstract
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease of 2019) is one of the most challenging healthcare crises of the twenty-first century. The pandemic causes many negative impacts on all aspects of life and livelihoods. Although recent developments of relevant vaccines, such as Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA, AstraZeneca, or Moderna, the emergence of new virus mutations and their fast infection rate yet pose significant threats to public health. In this context, early detection of the disease is an important factor to reduce its effect and quickly control the spread of pandemic. Nevertheless, many countries still rely on methods that are either expensive and time-consuming (i.e., Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) or uncomfortable and difficult for self-testing (i.e., Rapid Antigen Test Nasal). Recently, deep learning methods have been proposed as a potential solution for COVID-19 analysis. However, previous works usually focus on a single symptom, which can omit critical information for disease diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, we propose a multi-modal method to detect COVID-19 using cough sounds and self-reported symptoms. The proposed method consists of five neural networks to deal with different input features, including CNN-biLSTM for MFCC features, EfficientNetV2 for Mel spectrogram images, MLP for self-reported symptoms, C-YAMNet for cough detection, and RNNoise for noise-canceling. Experimental results demonstrated that our method outperformed the other state-of-the-art methods with a high AUC, accuracy, and F1-score of 98.6%, 96.9%, and 96.9% on the testing set.

Abstract
Machine learning is frequently being leveraged to tackle problems in the health sector including utilization for clinical decision-support. Its use has historically been focused on single modal data. Attempts to improve prediction and mimic the multimodal nature of clinical expert decision-making has been met in the biomedical field of machine learning by fusing disparate data. This review was conducted to summarize the current studies in this field and identify topics ripe for future research. We conducted this review in accordance with the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews to characterize multi-modal data fusion in health. Search strings were established and used in databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and IEEEXplore from 2011 to 2021. A final set of 128 articles were included in the analysis. The most common health areas utilizing multi-modal methods were neurology and oncology. Early fusion was the most common data merging strategy. Notably, there was an improvement in predictive performance when using data fusion. Lacking from the papers were clear clinical deployment strategies, FDA-approval, and analysis of how using multimodal approaches from diverse sub-populations may improve biases and healthcare disparities. These findings provide a summary on multimodal data fusion as applied to health diagnosis/prognosis problems. Few papers compared the outputs of a multimodal approach with a unimodal prediction. However, those that did achieved an average increase of 6.4% in predictive accuracy. Multi-modal machine learning, while more robust in its estimations over unimodal methods, has drawbacks in its scalability and the time-consuming nature of information concatenation.

Abstract
Over the last two years, the novel coronavirus has become a significant threat to the health of the public, and numerous approaches are developed to determine the symptoms of COVID-19. To deal with the complex symptoms of COVID-19, a Deep Learning-assisted Multi-modal Data Analysis (DMDA) approach is introduced to determine COVID-19 symptoms by utilizing acoustic and image-based data. Furthermore, the classified events are forwarded to the proposed Dynamic Fusion Strategy (DFS) for confirming the health status of the individual. Initially, the performance of the proposed solution is evaluated on both acoustic and image-based samples and the proposed solution attains the maximum accuracy of 96.88% and 98.76%, respectively. Similarly, the DFS has achieved an overall symptom determination accuracy of 98.72% which is highly acceptable for decision-making. Moreover, the proposed solution shows high reliability with an accuracy of 95.64% even in absence of any one of the data modalities during testing.

Abstract
In the past two years, medical researchers and data scientists worldwide have focused their efforts on containing the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Deep learning models have been proven to be capable of efficient medical diagnosis and prognosis in cancer, common lung diseases, and COVID-19. On the other hand, artificial neural networks have demonstrated their potential in pattern recognition and classification in various domains, including healthcare. This literature review aims to report the state of research on developing neural network models to diagnose COVID-19 from cough sounds to create a cost-efficient and accessible testing tool in the fight against the pandemic. A total of 35 papers were included in this review following a screening of the 161 outputs of the literature search. We extracted information from articles on data resources, model structures, and evaluation metrics and then explored the scope of experimental studies and methodologies and analyzed their outcomes and limitations. We found that cough is a biomarker, and its associated information can determine an individual’s health status. Convolutional neural networks were predominantly used, suggesting they are particularly suitable for feature extraction and classification. The reported accuracy values ranged from 73.1% to 98.5%. Moreover, the dataset sizes ranged from 16 to over 30,000 cough audio samples. Although deep learning is a promising prospect in identifying COVID-19, we identified a gap in the literature on research conducted over large and diversified data sets.

Abstract
In this work, the performance of five deep learning architectures in classifying COVID-19 in a multi-class set-up is evaluated. The classifiers were built on pretrained ResNet-50, ResNet-50r (with kernel size 5×5 in the first convolutional layer), DenseNet-121, MobileNet-v3 and the state-of-the-art CaiT-24-XXS-224 (CaiT) transformer. The cross entropy and weighted cross entropy were minimised with Adam and AdamW. In total, 20 experiments were conducted with 10 repetitions and obtained the following metrics: accuracy (Acc), balanced accuracy (BA), F1 and F2 from the general Fβ macro score, Matthew’s Correlation Coefficient (MCC), sensitivity (Sens) and specificity (Spec) followed by bootstrapping. The performance of the classifiers was compared by using the Friedman–Nemenyi test. The results show that less complex architectures such as ResNet-50, ResNet-50r and DenseNet-121 were able to achieve better generalization with rankings of 1.53, 1.71 and 3.05 for the Matthew Correlation Coefficient, respectively, while MobileNet-v3 and CaiT obtained rankings of 3.72 and 5.0, respectively.

Abstract
For COVID-19, the need for robust, inexpensive, and accessible screening becomes critical. Even though symptoms present differently, cough is still taken as one of the primary symptoms in severe and non-severe infections alike. For mass screening in resource-constrained regions, artificial intelligence (AI)-guided tools have progressively contributed to detect/screen COVID-19 infections using cough sounds. Therefore, in this article, we review state-of-the-art works in both years 2020 and 2021 by considering AI-guided tools to analyze cough sound for COVID-19 screening primarily based on machine learning algorithms. In our study, we used PubMed central repository and Web of Science with key words: (Cough OR Cough Sounds OR Speech) AND (Machine learning OR Deep learning OR Artificial intelligence) AND (COVID-19 OR Coronavirus). For better meta-analysis, we screened for appropriate dataset (size and source), algorithmic factors (both shallow learning and deep learning models) and corresponding performance scores. Further, in order not to miss up-to-date experimental research-based articles, we also included articles outside of PubMed and Web of Science, but pre-print articles were strictly avoided as they are not peer-reviewed.

The key-enablers of these technologies was data that was obtained from heterogeneous sources (i.e., social networks (SN), internet of (medical) things (IoT/IoMT), cellular networks, transport usage, epidemiological investigations, and other digital/sensing platforms). To this end, we provide an insightful overview of the role of data-driven analytics leveraging AI in the era of COVID-19. Specifically, we discuss major services that AI can provide in the context of COVID-19 pandemic based on six grounds, (i) AI role in seven different epidemic containment strategies (a.k.a non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs)), (ii) AI role in data life cycle phases employed to control pandemic via digital solutions, (iii) AI role in performing analytics on heterogeneous types of data stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, (iv) AI role in the healthcare sector in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, (v) general-purpose applications of AI in COVID-19 era, and (vi) AI role in drug design and repurposing (e.g., iteratively aligning protein spikes and applying three/four-fold symmetry to yield a low-resolution candidate template) against COVID-19. Further, we discuss the challenges involved in applying AI to the available data and privacy issues that can arise from personal data transitioning into cyberspace. We also provide a concise overview of other latest technologies that were increasingly applied to limit the spread of the ongoing pandemic. Finally, we discuss the avenues of future research in the respective area. This insightful review aims to highlight existing AI-based technological developments and future research dynamics in this area.
