Supply chain agility has become a key success factor for businesses trying to handle upheavals and uncertainty in today’s quickly changing business environment. Proactive risk reduction is essential for achieving this agility. To facilitate real-time risk prevention and improve agility, this research study proposes an innovative strategy that makes use of machine learning as well as predictive analytics approaches. Traditional supply chain risk management frequently uses post-event analysis as well as historical data, which restricts its ability to address real-time interruptions. This research, on the other hand, promotes a futuristic methodology that uses predictive analytics to foresee possible disruptions. Based on contextual and historical data, machine learning models can be trained to find patterns and correlations as well as anomalies that point to imminent dangers. Organizations can identify risks as they arise and take preventative measures by incorporating these models into a real-time monitoring system. This study examines numerous predictive analytics methods, showing how they can be used to spot supply chain risks. These methods include time series analysis and anomaly detection as well as natural language processing. Additionally, risk assessment models are continuously improved and optimized using machine learning algorithms, assuring their accuracy and adaptability in changing contexts. This research clarifies the symbiotic relationship among predictive analytics and machine learning as well as supply chain agility using a synthesis of theoretical discourse and practical evidence. Case studies from various sectors highlight the usefulness and advantages of the suggested strategy. The advantages of this novel technique include improved risk visibility and quicker response times as well as the capacity to quickly modify operations. The development of a holistic framework that incorporates predictive analytics and machine learning into risk management procedures, setting the path for real-time risk identification as well as mitigation, is one of the theoretical contributions. On the practical side, the case studies offered in this paper show the actual benefits as well as the adaptability of the proposed approach across a wide range of businesses.

Due to recent developments in deep learning and artificial intelligence, the healthcare industry is currently going through a significant upheaval. Despite a considerable advance in medical imaging and diagnostics, the healthcare industry still has a lot of unresolved problems and unexplored applications. The transmission of a huge number of medical images in particular is a difficult and time-consuming problem. In addition, obtaining new medical images is too expensive. To tackle these issues, we propose deep pix2pix generative adversarial networks (GAN) for generating synthetic medical images. For the comparison, we implemented CycleGAN, Pix2Pix GAN and Deep Pix2Pix GAN. The result has shown that our proposed approach can generate a new synthetic medical image from a different image with more accuracy than that of the other models. To provide a robust model, we trained and evaluated our models on a widely used brain image dataset, the IXI Dataset.

Mobile computing and technology are becoming more common in many parts of private life and public services, and they are playing an increasingly important role in healthcare, not just for sensory devices but also for communication, recording, and display. They are used for more than only sensory devices but also for communications, recording, and display. Numerous medical indications and postoperative days must be monitored carefully. As a result, the most recent development in Internet of Things‐ (IoT‐) based healthcare communication has been embraced. The Internet of Things (IoT), which is employed in a wide range of applications, is a catalyst for the healthcare industry. Healthcare data is complicated, making it difficult to handle and evaluate in order to derive useful information for decision‐making. On the other hand, data security is a vital requirement in a healthcare data systems. Determining the need for a smart and secure IoT platform for healthcare applications, we create one in this study. Here, a cutting‐edge encryption algorithm is used to protect the health data. Normalization is first used to preprocess the data and remove any irrelevant information. Using principal component analysis and logistic regression, the data’s features are extracted (LR‐PCA). To choose the pertinent features, a feature selection process based on genetic algorithms is used. We have put out a brand‐new kernel homomorphism. To increase the security of the IoT network, use the two‐fish Encryption algorithm (KHTEA). EBSMO (exponential Boolean spider monkey optimization) is used to further boost the encryption process’ effectiveness. Utilizing the MATLAB simulation tool, the proposed system is assessed, and the metrics are contrasted with the accepted practices. Our suggested solution has been shown to be effective in protecting medical healthcare data. The effectiveness of the proposed and existing approaches is assessed using metrics for encryption time, execution time, and security level. The security precautions we suggested for healthcare data worked well.
