Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Wearable IoT System in Long-Term Care Environments

With the rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT), big data, and artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent healthcare systems have emerged, including the integration of healthcare systems with capital, the introduction of healthcare systems into long-term care institutions, and the integration of measurement data for care or exposure. These systems provide comprehensive communication and home exposure reports and enable the involvement of rehabilitation specialists and other experts. Silver technology enables the realization of health management in long-term care services, workplace care, and health applications, facilitating disease prevention and control, improving disease management, reducing home isolation, alleviating family burden in terms of nursing, and promoting health and disease control. Research and development efforts in forward-looking cross-domain precision health technology, system construction, testing, and integration are carried out. This integrated project consists of two main components. The Integrated Intelligent Long-Term Care Service Management System focuses on building a personalized care service system for the elderly, encompassing health, nutrition, diet, and health education aspects. The Wearable Internet of Things Care System primarily supports the development of portable physiological signal detection devices and electronic fences.

Smart Clothing Framework for Health Monitoring Applications

Wearable technologies are making a significant impact on people’s way of living thanks to the advancements in mobile communication, internet of things (IoT), big data and artificial intelligence. Conventional wearable technologies present many challenges for the continuous monitoring of human health conditions due to their lack of flexibility and bulkiness in size. Recent development in e-textiles and the smart integration of miniature electronic devices into textiles have led to the emergence of smart clothing systems for remote health monitoring. A novel comprehensive framework of smart clothing systems for health monitoring is proposed in this paper. This framework provides design specifications, suitable sensors and textile materials for smart clothing (e.g., leggings) development. In addition, the proposed framework identifies techniques for empowering the seamless integration of sensors into textiles and suggests a development strategy for health diagnosis and prognosis through data collection, data processing and decision making. The conceptual technical specification of smart clothing is also formulated and presented. The detailed development of this framework is presented in this paper with selected examples. The key challenges in popularizing smart clothing and opportunities of future development in diverse application areas such as healthcare, sports and athletics and fashion are discussed.

Accuracy Improvement of Transformer Faults Diagnostic Based on DGA Data Using SVM-BA Classifier

The main objective of the current work was to enhance the transformer fault diagnostic accuracy based on dissolved gas analysis (DGA) data with a proposed coupled system of support vector machine (SVM)-bat algorithm (BA) and Gaussian classifiers. Six electrical and thermal fault classes were categorized based on the IEC and IEEE standard rules. The concentration of five main combustible gases (hydrogen, methane, ethane, ethylene, and acetylene) was utilized as an input vector of the two classifiers. Two types of input vectors have been tested; the first input type considered the five gases in ppm, and the second input type considered the gases introduced in the percentage of the sum of the five gases. An extensive database of 481 had been used for training and testing phases (321 data samples for training and 160 data samples for testing). The SVM model conditioning parameter “λ” and penalty margin parameter “C” were adjusted through the bat algorithm to develop a maximum accuracy rate. The SVM-BA and Gaussian classifiers’ accuracy was evaluated and compared with several DGA techniques in the literature.
