Deep learning (DL) driven cardiac image processing methods manage and monitor the massive medical data collected by the internet of things (IoT) based on wearable devices. A Joint DL and IoT platform are known as Deep-IoMT that extracts the accurate cardiac image data from noisy conventional devices and tools. Besides, smart and dynamic technological trends have caught the attention of every corner such as, healthcare, which is possible through portable and lightweight sensor-enabled devices. Tiny size and resource-constrained nature restrict them to perform several tasks at a time. Thus, energy drain, limited battery lifetime, and high packet loss ratio (PLR) are the keys challenges to be tackled carefully for ubiquitous medical care. Sustainability (i.e., longer battery lifetime), energy efficiency, and reliability are the vital ingredients for wearable devices to empower a cost-effective and pervasive healthcare environment. Thus, the key contribution of this paper is the sixth fold. First, a novel self-adaptive power control-based enhanced efficient-aware approach (EEA) is proposed to reduce energy consumption and enhance the battery lifetime and reliability. The proposed EEA and conventional constant TPC are evaluated by adopting real-time data traces of static (i.e., sitting) and dynamic (i.e., cycling) activities and cardiac images. Second, a novel joint DL-IoMT framework is proposed for the cardiac image processing of remote elderly patients. Third, DL driven layered architecture for IoMT is proposed. Forth, the battery model for IoMT is proposed by adopting the features of a wireless channel and body postures. Fifth, network performance is optimized by introducing sustainability, energy drain, and PLR and average threshold RSSI indicators. Sixth, a Usecase for cardiac image-enabled elderly patient's monitoring is proposed. Finally, it is revealed through experimental results in MATLAB that the proposed EEA scheme performs better than the constant TPC by enhancing energy efficiency, sustainability, and reliability during data transmission for elderly healthcare.

The internet of things (IoT) comprises various sensor nodes for monitoring physiological signals, for instance, electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), blood pressure, and temperature, etc., with various emerging technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular networks. The IoT for medical healthcare applications forms the internet of medical things (IoMT), which comprises multiple resource-restricted wearable devices for health monitoring due to heterogeneous technological trends. The main challenge for IoMT is the energy drain and battery charge consumption in the tiny sensor devices. The non-linear behavior of the battery uses less charge; additionally, an idle time is introduced for optimizing the charge and battery lifetime, and hence the efficient recovery mechanism. The contribution of this paper is three-fold. First, a novel adaptive battery-aware algorithm (ABA) is proposed, which utilizes the charges up to its maximum limit and recovers those charges that remain unused. The proposed ABA adopts this recovery effect for enhancing energy efficiency, battery lifetime and throughput. Secondly, we propose a novel framework for IoMT based pervasive healthcare. Thirdly, we test and implement the proposed ABA and framework in a hardware platform for energy efficiency and longer battery lifetime in the IoMT. Furthermore, the transition of states is modeled by the deterministic mealy finite state machine. The Convex optimization tool in MATLAB is adopted and the proposed ABA is compared with other conventional methods such as battery recovery lifetime enhancement (BRLE). Finally, the proposed ABA enhances the energy efficiency, battery lifetime, and reliability for intelligent pervasive healthcare.

<abstract> <p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven adaptive techniques are viable to optimize the resources in the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable healthcare devices. Due to the miniature size and ability of wireless data transfer, Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) have become the center of attention in current medical media technologies. For a long-term and reliable healthcare system, high energy efficiency, transmission reliability, and longer battery lifetime of wearable sensors devices are required. There is a dire need for empowering sensor-based wearable techniques in BSNs from every aspect i.e., data collection, healthcare monitoring, and diagnosis. The consideration of protocol layers, data routing, and energy optimization strategies improves the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Hence, this work presents some key contributions. Firstly, it proposes a novel avant-garde framework to simultaneously optimize the energy efficiency, battery lifetime, and reliability for smart and connected healthcare. Secondly, in this study, an Adaptive Transmission Data Rate (ATDR) mechanism is proposed, which works on the average constant energy consumption by varying the active time of the sensor node to optimize the energy over the dynamic wireless channel. Moreover, a Self-Adaptive Routing Algorithm (SARA) is developed to adopt a dynamic source routing mechanism with an energy-efficient and shortest possible path, unlike the conventional routing methods. Lastly, real-time datasets are adopted for intensive experimental setup for revealing pervasive and cost-effective healthcare through wearable devices. It is observed and analysed that proposed algorithms outperform in terms of high energy efficiency, better reliability, and longer battery lifetime of portable devices.</p> </abstract>

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) promotes the energy efficient communication in smart homes. Quality of Service (QoS) optimization during video streaming through wireless micro medical devices (WMMD) in smart healthcare homes is the main purpose of this research. This paper contributes in four distinct ways. First,to propose a novel Lazy Video Transmission Algorithm (LVTA). Second, a novel Video Transmission Rate Control Algorithm (VTRCA) is proposed. Third, a novel cloud-based video transmission framework is developed. Fourth, the relationship between buffer size and performance indicators i.e., peak-to-mean ratio (PMR), energy (i.e., encoding and transmission) and standard deviation is investigated while comparing the LVTA, VTRCA, and Baseline approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that the reduction in encoding (32%, 35.4%) and transmission (37%, 39%) energy drains, PMR (5, 4), and standard deviation (3dB, 4dB) for VTRCA and LVTA, respectively, is greater than that obtained by Baseline during video streaming through WMMD.
