In the domain of remote sensing, the classification of hyperspectral image (HSI) has become a popular topic. In general, the complicated features of hyperspectral data cause the precise classification difficult for standard machine learning approaches. Deep learning-based HSI classification has lately received a lot of interest in the field of remote sensing and has shown promising results. As opposed to conventional hand-crafted feature-based classification approaches, deep learning can automatically learn complicated features of HSIs with a greater number of hierarchical layers. Because HSI’s data structure is complicated, applying deep learning to it is difficult. The primary objective of this research is to propose a deep feature extraction model for HSI classification. Deep networks can extricate features of spatial and spectral from HSI data simultaneously, which is advantageous for increasing the performances of the proposed system. The squeeze and excitation (SE) network is combined with convolutional neural networks (SE-CNN) in this work to increase its performance in extracting features and classifying HSI. The squeeze and excitation block is designed to improve the representation quality of a CNN. Three benchmark datasets are utilized in the experiment to evaluate the proposed model: Pavia Centre, Pavia University, and Salinas. The proposed model’s performance is validated by a performance comparison with current deep transfer learning approaches such as VGG-16, Inception-v3, and ResNet-50. In terms of accuracy on each class of datasets and overall accuracy, the proposed SE-CNN model outperforms the compared models. The proposed model achieved an overall accuracy of 96.05% for Pavia University, 98.94% for Pavia Centre dataset, and 96.33% for Salinas dataset.

The anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) are the fundamental structures in preserving the common biomechanics of the knees and most frequently damaged knee ligaments. An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the ACL, one of the fundamental ligaments in the knee. ACL damage most generally happens during sports, for example, soccer, ball, football, and downhill skiing, which include sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping, and landings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a major role in the field of diagnosis these days. Specifically, it is effective for diagnosing the cruciate ligaments and any related meniscal tears. The primary objective of this research is to detect the ACL tear from MRI knee images, which can be useful to determine the knee abnormality. In this research, a Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) based Inception-v3 deep transfer learning (DTL) model was proposed for classifying the ACL tear MRI images. Preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification are the main processes performed in this research. The dataset utilized in this work was collected from the MRNet database. A total of 1,370 knee MRI images are used for evaluation. 70% of data (959 images) are used for training and testing, and 30% of data (411 images) are used in this model for performance analysis. The proposed DCNN with the Inception-v3 DTL model is evaluated and compared with existing deep learning models like VGG16, VGG19, Xception, and Inception ResNet-v28. The performance metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F-measure are evaluated to estimate the performance analysis of the model. The model has obtained 99.04% training accuracy and 95.42% testing accuracy in performance analysis.

High blood glucose levels are the defining characteristic of diabetes. Uncontrolled blood glucose levels in diabetic patients might result in mortality. As a result, there is a dire need to control blood glucose levels by constantly monitoring them and delivering the appropriate amount of insulin. However, insulin consumption is affected by several variables, including age, calorific intake, and body weight. The patient must see the doctor on a regular basis in order to determine the appropriate dose. Nonetheless, hospital facilities are finding it increasingly difficult to treat patients as the number of patients rises; thus, the healthcare industry is searching for an efficient method that can alleviate their burden by assisting patients with chronic conditions through remote patient care. In this work, we have developed an expert system to provide remote treatment for diabetic patients. Our expert system consists of two distinct components: one for the patient and one for the hospital. The sole requirement for the patient will be a wearable device that captures and transmits all relevant data to the cloud. On the hospital side, there should be a system in place to process that data in the cloud. The system employs a fuzzy system to handle data in two stages. A fuzzy system is initially employed to identify whether or not a patient is diabetic. In the second stage, a fuzzy system is utilized to determine the insulin dosage for a diabetic patient. Using sensors and the ESP8266 platform, we have developed a prototype of patient-side hardware. The MATLAB fuzzy toolbox is used for the processing part, which includes fuzzy systems, and the results of the MATLAB analysis are presented in the form of simulation results to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed system in terms of determining insulin dosage. The results of the simulation using the fuzzy toolbox for the insulin dose of the diabetic patient are significantly close to the amount of dosage prescribed by the endocrinologist.

In this study, we introduce an innovative islanding detection scheme for grid-connected distribution networks utilizing a Discrete Ensemble Kalman Filter (DEKF) in conjunction with Internet of Things (IoT) devices for real-time monitoring and communication. Voltage signals from the point of common coupling (PCC) are acquired via IoT devices using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The DEKF accurately estimates PCC voltage states under various conditions, while IoT integration ensures continuous data acquisition and swift communication with the monitoring system. Residuals, computed as the difference between measured and estimated signals, serve as reliable indicators for islanding detection. Simulations in MATLAB Simulink demonstrate a detection accuracy of 99.5% with a response time under 1.5 milliseconds. The scheme proves robust against non-islanding events, offering a dependable and efficient solution for smart grid protection with minimal computational overhead.

Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), narcolepsy, REM sleep behavior disorder, and circadian rhythm disturbances, represent a rapidly expanding global health burden that is strongly associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and psychiatric diseases. Advancements in wearable sensing technologies and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) infrastructures have expanded the possibilities for continuous, home-based sleep assessment beyond conventional polysomnography laboratories. These Sleep Health Internet of Things (S-HIoT) systems combine multimodal physiological sensing (EEG, ECG, SpO2, respiratory effort and actigraphy) with wireless communication and cloud-based analytics for automated sleep-stage classification and disorder detection. Nonetheless, the digitization of sleep medicine brings about significant cybersecurity concerns. The constant transmission of sensitive biomedical information makes S-HIoT networks open to anomalous traffic flows, signal manipulation, replay attacks, spoofing, and data integrity violation. Existing studies mostly focus on analyzing physiological signals and network intrusion detection independently, resulting in a systemic vulnerability of cyber–physical sleep monitoring ecosystems. With the aim of addressing this empirical deficiency, this review integrates emerging advances (2022–2026) in the AI-assisted categorization of sleep phases and IoMT anomaly detector designs on the finer analysis of CNN, LSTM/BiLSTM, Transformer-based systems, and a component part of federated schemes and the lightweight, edge-deployable intruder assessor models available. The aim of this study is to uncover a gap in the literature: integrated architectures to trade off audiences of faithfulness of physiological modeling with communication-layer security. To counter it, we present a single framework to include CNN-based spatial feature extraction, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM)-based temporal models and Random Forest-based ensemble classification using a dual task-learning approach. We propose a multi-objective optimization framework to jointly optimize the performance of sleep-stage prediction and that of network anomaly detection. Performance on publicly available datasets (Sleep-EDF and CICIoMT2024) confirms that hybrid integration can be tailored to achieve high accuracy [99.8% sleep staging; 98.6% anomaly detection] whilst being characterized by low inference latency (<45 ms), which is promising for feasibility in real-time deployment in view of targeting edge devices. This work presents a comprehensive framework for developing secure, intelligent, and clinically robust digital sleep health ecosystems by bridging chronobiological signal modeling with cybersecurity mechanisms. Furthermore, it highlights future research directions, including explainable AI, federated secure learning, adversarial robustness, and energy-aware edge optimization.
