This work extends PneumoCAD, a Computer-Aided Diagnosis system for detecting pneumonia in infants using radiographic images [1], with the aim of improving the system's accuracy and robustness. We implement and compare three contemporary machine learning classifiers, namely: Näıve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Support Vector Machines (SVM). Results of our experiments demonstrate that the SVM...
A body sensor network (BSN) must be designed to work autonomously. On the other hand, BSNs need mechanisms that allow changes in their behavior in order to become a clinically useful tool. The purpose of this paper is to present a new programming model that will be useful for programming BSN sensor nodes. This model is based on an intelligent intermediate-level compiler. The main purpose of the proposed...
This article presents a framework that allows the automated gathering of medical evidence, using a methodology based on Bayesian networks (BN). For such purpose, system software and a programming methodology were developed. The proposed methodology is generic and can be applied to different contexts (application domains) were evidence gathering is executed in mobile devices.
This work presents a new programming model for sensor networks embedded in the human body which is based on the concept of multi-programming application-oriented software. This model was conceived with a top-down approach of four layers and its main goal is to allow the healthcare professionals to program and to reconfigure the network locally or by the Internet. In order to evaluate this hypothesis,...
