We consider the use of intelligent systems to address the long-standing medical problem of diagnostic differentiation between harmful (secondary) and benign (primary) headache conditions. In secondary headaches, conditions are caused by an underlying pathology, in contrast to primary headaches where the production of pain represents the sole constituent of the disorder. Conventional diagnostic paradigms...
With the rapid advancements in technology, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become the most popular form of online educational delivery, largely due to the removal of geographical and financial barriers for participants. A large number of learners globally enrol in such courses. Despite the flexible accessibility, results indicate that the completion rate is quite low. Educational Data Mining...
This paper discusses the use of machine learning techniques for the classification of medical data, specifically for guiding disease modifying therapies for Sickle Cell. Extensive research has indicated that machine learning approaches generate significant improvements when used for the pre-processing of medical time-series data signals and have assisted in obtaining high accuracy in the classification...
The increase growth of health information systems has provided a significant way to deliver great change in medical domains. Up to this date, the majority of medical centres and hospitals continue to use manual approaches for determining the correct medication dosage for sickle cell disease. Such methods depend completely on the experience of medical consultants to determine accurate medication dosages,...
Machine learning algorithm and web-based application systems have played a major role in improving the healthcare organisation in terms of continuous tele-monitoring therapy and maintaining telemedicine management systems. Currently, no intelligent system has been used in terms of managing sickle cell disease. However, this paper presents a system that facilitates a shift from manual methods to automated...
Preterm birth brings considerable emotional and economic costs to families and society. However, despite extensive research into understanding the risk factors, the prediction of patient mechanisms and improvements to obstetrical practice, the UK National Health Service still annually spends more than £2.95 billion on this issue. Diagnosis of labour in normal pregnancies is important for minimizing...
