Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Big data holds the key to unlocking the next level of diagnosis support systems. Big data-based diagnosis support systems are needed to address public health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, fever, obesity, and diabetes. That data comes from sensors that measure physiological signals, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrooculogram (EOG), from the human body. In order to be diagnostically relevant, the data must be communicated to a central location where it can be processed and accessed by a human expert. Effectively, this is the Internet of Medical Things that allows human experts and artificial intelligence algorithms to work cooperatively on diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Establishing that a symbiotic work relationship has the potential to improve outcomes for patients and reduce the number of years lived with disability.

Today, various machine learning and deep learning techniques have been applied for big data efficiently. Application of such novel methods to the medical data can aid the clinicians to make an accurate and fast diagnosis. Thus, this Special Issue, entitled “Artificial Intelligence for Mobile Health”, focuses on the application of advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, such as machine learning and deep learning techniques, in a mobile health setting.

Application of deep learning (DL) to the field of healthcare is aiding clinicians to make an accurate diagnosis. DL provides reliable results for image processing and sensor interpretation problems most of the time. However, model uncertainty should also be thoroughly quantified. This paper therefore addresses the employment of Monte Carlo dropout within the DL structure to automatically discriminate presymptomatic signs of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 in saccadic samples obtained from electrooculograms. The current work goes beyond the common incorporation of this special type of dropout into deep neural networks and uses the uncertainty derived from the validation samples to construct a decision tree at the register level of the patients. The decision tree built from the uncertainty estimates obtained a classification accuracy of 81.18% in automatically discriminating control, presymptomatic and sick classes. This paper proposes a novel method to address both uncertainty quantification and explainability to develop reliable healthcare support systems. Full article
