Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The ongoing ageing of modern societies will lead to a growing portion of society relying on the financial support of a shrinking workforce. At the same time, the sustainability of public health services is expected to be further affected by the application of new sophisticated and expensive imaging and diagnostic tools and processes developed for the care of widespread chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. These trends will inevitably necessitate changes in the current health care system even in the short run, and the only realistic answer to this challenge is preventive self-management supported by ambient assisted living devices and IoT, and modern information technology relying on artificial intelligence. It is the objective of this Special Issue to give a cross-section of current research related to all applications of AI in the eHealth and mHealth domain, with an emphasis on the following fields:

  • Machine learning methods used for feature extraction, diagnostics and personalized treatment recommendations. Within this field, a special highlight is personalized and mobile lifestyle counselling for chronic disease prevention and management.
  • Medical expert systems using traditional rule-based or case-based reasoning, or evolutionary/swarm-intelligence algorithms, assisting medical professionals in research or daily care.
  • Natural language processing methods for analyzing current and legacy textual records and implementing intelligent chat support for patients.
  • This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and review papers. Case studies and reports on controlled clinical trials are especially welcome.

Depression disorder is a disease that causes a deterioration of daily function and can induce thoughts of suicide. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which is the official reference of the American Psychiatry Association and is also used in Korea to identify depressive disorders, sets nine criteria for diagnosing depressive disorders. The lack of counseling personnel, including psychiatrists, and negative social perceptions of depressive disorders prevent counselors from being treated for depressive disorders. Natural language processing-based artificial intelligence (AI) services such as chatbots can help fill this need, but labeled datasets are needed to train AI services. In this study we collected data from AI Hub wellness consultations and crawls of the Reddit website to augment and build word dictionaries and analyze morphemes using the Kind Korean Morpheme Analyzer and Word2Vec. The collected datasets were labeled based on word dictionaries built according to nine DSM-5 depressive disorder diagnostic criteria. Full article

A cerebral stroke is a medical problem that occurs when the blood flowing to a section of the brain is suddenly cut off, causing damage to the brain. Brain cells gradually die because of interruptions in blood supply and other nutrients to the brain, resulting in disabilities, depending on the affected region. Early recognition and detection of symptoms can aid in the rapid treatment of strokes and result in better health by reducing the severity of a stroke episode. In this paper, the Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and light gradient-boosting machine (LightGBM) were used as machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicting the likelihood of a cerebral stroke by applying an open-access stroke prediction dataset. The stroke prediction dataset was pre-processed by handling missing values using the KNN imputer technique, eliminating outliers, applying the one-hot encoding method, and normalizing the features with different ranges of values. After data splitting, synthetic minority oversampling (SMO) was applied to balance the stroke samples and no-stroke classes. Furthermore, to fine-tune the hyper-parameters of the ML algorithm, we employed a random search technique that could achieve the best parameter values. After applying the tuning process, we stacked the parameters to a tuning ensemble RXLM that was analyzed and compared with traditional classifiers. The performance metrics after tuning the hyper-parameters achieved promising results with all ML algorithms. Full article
