Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The research on digital health and biosensing technology has been growing rapidly in recent years. In parallel, bioinformatics and data analytics have revolutionized systems biology and clinical practice, providing important tools to identify molecular mechanisms and biological networks, and diminishing the time and cost required. Data mining extracts biomedical results that we are not able to obtain through traditional computing tools and contributes to the early diagnosis and monitoring of progression. AI technologies make innovations possible that are fundamental for transforming large amounts of data to detect patient subgroups that might benefit more in a clinical trial. Digitalization and innovative technologies in healthcare, such as Internet of Things (IoT), image analysis and data analytics, can also contribute to the real-time remote monitoring of patients and contribute to the informatics infrastructure necessary to facilitate the appropriate utilization of precision medicine.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in biosensors, remote sensing platforms and digital developments, and will cover promising methods and models for big data analytics and bioinformatics approaches in clinical practice, as well as biomarkers for prognosis, diagnosis and therapeutics. Both original research and review articles dealing with the application of these mentioned methods are expected and welcome.

This paper proposes a novel soft sensor modeling approach, MIC-TCA-INGO-LSSVM, to address the decline in performance of soft sensor models during the fermentation process of Pichia pastoris, caused by changes in working conditions. Initially, the transfer component analysis (TCA) method is utilized to minimize the differences in data distribution across various working conditions. Subsequently, a least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model is constructed using the dataset adapted by TCA, and strategies for improving the northern goshawk optimization (INGO) algorithm are proposed to optimize the parameters of the LSSVM model. Finally, to further enhance the model’s generalization ability and prediction accuracy, considering the transfer of knowledge from multiple-source working conditions, a sub-model weighted ensemble scheme is proposed based on the maximum information coefficient (MIC) algorithm. The proposed soft sensor model is employed to predict cell and product concentrations during the fermentation process of Pichia pastoris. Simulation results indicate that the RMSE of the INGO-LSSVM model in predicting cell and product concentrations is reduced by 47.3% and 42.1%, respectively, compared to the NGO-LSSVM model. Additionally, TCA significantly enhances the model’s adaptability when working conditions change. Moreover, the soft sensor model based on TCA and the MIC-weighted ensemble method achieves a reduction of 41.6% and 31.3% in the RMSE for predicting cell and product concentrations, respectively, compared to the single-source condition transfer model TCA-INGO-LSSVM. These results demonstrate the high reliability and predictive performance of the proposed soft sensor method under varying working conditions. Full article
