CI-DPF: A Cloud IoT based Framework for Diabetes Prediction
1. Abstract
1.1 Summary of IoT-enabled diabetes monitoring and prediction framework
Smart healthcare technology is one of the highest explored areas which apply modern computing technologies and techniques in healthcare research. By making use of sensors in smart wearable devices, the patient-generated data can be sent to electronic devices or any health records. This enables doctors and caregivers to directly monitor patient activity in real-time. Moreover, a high volume of medical information is continuously produced. It is an intrinsic need to gather, store, and learn from this medical data to predict patient health. An alarming increase in the number of diabetic patients has become an important area of concern for medical researchers. In this paper, a Cloud IoT based framework for diabetes prediction is proposed and presented. It incorporates sensors in smart wearable devices as a set of connected IoT devices for continuous monitoring and collection of blood glucose data, which is sent for storage in a cloud environment. Here, an ensemble model is used to predict diabetes in patients. Experiments on ten ensemble models by pairing two out of five different machine learning methods were carried out, with the ensemble model of Decision Tree and Neural Network achieving the highest accuracy of 94.5% when evaluated using the “Pima Indians Diabetes” dataset.
