Emotion-Aware and Intelligent Internet of Medical Things Toward Emotion Recognition During COVID-19 Pandemic.

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a brand new technology of combining medical devices and other wireless devices to access to the healthcare management systems. This article has sought the possibilities of aiding the current Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by implementing machine learning algorithms while offering emotional treatment suggestion to the doctors and patients. The cognitive model with respect to IoMT is best suited to this pandemic as every person is to be connected and monitored through a cognitive network. However, this COVID-19 pandemic still remain some challenges about emotional solicitude for infants and young children, elderly, and mentally ill persons during pandemic. Confronting these challenges, this article proposes an emotion-aware and intelligent IoMT system, which contains information sharing, information supervision, patients tracking, data gathering and analysis, healthcare, etc. Intelligent IoMT devices are connected to collect multimodal data of patients in a surveillance environments. The latest data and inputs from official websites and reports are tested for further investigation and analysis of the emotion analysis. The proposed novel IoMT platform enables remote health monitoring and decision-making about the emotion, therefore greatly contribute convenient and continuous emotion-aware healthcare services during COVID-19 pandemic. Experimental results on some emotion data indicate that the proposed framework achieves significant advantage when compared with the some mainstream models. The proposed cognition-based dynamic technology is an effective solution way for accommodating a big number of devices and this COVID-19 pandemic application. The controversy and future development trend are also discussed.
