Development and Modeling of the Internet of Things Network for Patients IT Diagnostics

Abstract

The work of a network that implements algorithms for IT diagnostics of neurological diseases based on the Internet of Things technology has been developed and modeled. The network includes a smartphone, a platform, a neural network, and applications. First, the voices of sick patients are entered from the smartphone to train the neural network, and then the examined patients for IT diagnostics. Data is transferred between the smartphone and the platform (ThingSpeak) via the MQTT protocol. The smartphone’s mobile application extracts the voice functions of the examined patients and records them on the Internet of Things network platform. Recognition is performed using the trained neural network. The structure and algorithm of the ThingSpeak platform are presented. IT diagnostics data are displayed in the application on the smartphone. The patient data used in the study are taken from the ADReSS 2020 Challenge program, which contains speech data of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and healthy people.
