Leveraging the fog-based machine learning model for ECG-based coronary disease prediction

Abstract

Smart healthcare systems need a remote monitoring system based on the internet of things. Smart healthcare services are an innovative way of synergising the benefits of sensors for large-scale analytics to communicate better patient care. Work provides the sick with healthcare administrations as a sound population through remote observation using detailed calculations, tools and methods for better care. The proposed system integrates architecture based on IoT, fog computing and machine learning (ML) algorithms. The dimensionality of the data collected about heart diseases is loaded, filtered and extracted attributes at the fog layer; the classification model is built at the fog nodes. The resultant of the model is sent to the cloud layer to train classifiers. Cloud layer estimates the level of ML algorithms to predict disease. Result shows that random forest has better feature extraction than naive Bayes with flawlessness of 3% in precision, 3% in recall, and 13% in f-measure.
