Internet of Things (IoT) technology has recently been applied in healthcare systems as an Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to collect sensor information for the diagnosis and prognosis of heart disease. The main objective of the proposed research is to classify data and predict heart disease using medical data and medical images. The proposed model is a medical data classification and prediction model that operates in two stages. If the result from the first stage is efficient in predicting heart disease, there is no need for stage two. In the first stage, data gathered from medical sensors affixed to the patient’s body were classified; then, in stage two, echocardiogram image classification was performed for heart disease prediction. A hybrid linear discriminant analysis with the modified ant lion optimization (HLDA-MALO) technique was used for sensor data classification, while a hybrid Faster R-CNN with SE-ResNet-101 modelwass used for echocardiogram image classification. Both classification methods were carried out, and the classification findings were consolidated and validated to predict heart disease. The HLDA-MALO method obtained 96.85% accuracy in detecting normal sensor data, and 98.31% accuracy in detecting abnormal sensor data. The proposed hybrid Faster R-CNN with SE-ResNeXt-101 transfer learning model performed better in classifying echocardiogram images, with 98.06% precision, 98.95% recall, 96.32% specificity, a 99.02% F-score, and maximum accuracy of 99.15%.
In today’s era of widespread web technology and cloud computing, ensuring data security has become a crucial concern across various industries. Instances of data breaches and vulnerabilities in cloud storage have emphasized the need for robust data protection and communication protocols, particularly in sectors like social media, military, and research. This research proposes a Multi-Level Steganography (MLS) algorithm that employs two encryption algorithms, AES and Blow-Fish, to secure the cover image and embed encryption keys as key images within the stego image. The proposed MLS algorithm incorporates a robust pixel randomization function to enhance the security of the encrypted data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively protects data with high Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and low Mean Square Error (MSE) values, ensuring superior image quality, reliable encryption, and decryption of secret messages. The utilization of hybrid encryption with AES and BlowFish algorithms further strengthens the algorithm’s security by augmenting the complexity of the encryption process.
The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to an increased automation and interconnectivity of devices without requiring user intervention, thereby enhancing the quality of our lives. However, the security of IoT devices is a significant concern as they are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which can cause severe damage if not detected and resolved in time. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel approach using a combination of deep learning and three-level algorithms to detect attacks in IoT networks quickly and accurately. The Bot-IoT dataset is used to evaluate the proposed approach, and the results show significant improvements in detection performance compared to existing methods. The proposed approach can also be extended to enhance the security of other IoT applications, making it a promising contribution to the field of IoT security.

Breast cancer (BrCa) is the most common disease in women worldwide. Classifying the BrCa image is extremely important for finding BrCa at an earlier stage and monitoring BrCa during treatment. The computer‐aided detection methods have been used to interpret BrCa and improve the detection of BrCa during the screening and treatment stages. However, if a new BrCa image is generated for the treatment, it will not classify correctly. The main objective of this research is to classify the BrCa images for newly generated images. The model performs preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. In preprocessing, a hybrid median filtering (HMF) is used to eliminate the noise in the images. The contrast of the images is enhanced using quadrant dynamic histogram equalization (QDHE). Then, ROI segmentation is performed using the USE‐Net deep learning model. The CaffeNet model is used for feature extraction on the segmented images, and finally, classification is made using the improved random forest (IRF) with extreme gradient boosting (XGB). The model obtained 97.87% accuracy, 98.45% sensitivity, 95.24% specificity, 98.96% precision, and 98.70% f1‐score for ultrasound images. The model gives 98.31% accuracy, 99.29% sensitivity, 90.20% specificity, 98.82% precision, and 99.05% f1‐score for mammogram images.
These days, mobile computing devices are ubiquitous and are widely used in almost every facet of daily life. In addition, computing and the modern technologies are not really coexisting anymore. With a wide range of conditions and areas of concern, the medical domain was also concerned. New types of technologies, such as context-aware systems and applications, are constantly being infused into the medicine field. An IoT-enabled healthcare system based on context awareness is developed in this work. In order to collect and store the patient data, smart medical devices are employed. Context-aware data from the database includes the patient’s medical records and personal information. The MRIPPER (Modified Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error) technique is used to analyze and classify the data. A rule-based machine learning method is used in this algorithm. The rules for analyzing datasets in order to make predictions about heart disease are framed using this algorithm. MATLAB is used to simulate the proposed model’s performance analysis. Other models like random forest, J48, CART, JRip, and OneR algorithms are also compared to validate the proposed model’s performance. The proposed model obtains 98.89 percent accuracy, 96.76 percent precision, 99.05 percent sensitivity, 94.35 percent specificity, and 97.60 percent f-score. Predictions for subjects in the normal and abnormal classes were both accurate with 97.38 for normal and 97.93 for abnormal subjects.
