Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness for people who have diabetes in the world. However, early detection of this disease can essentially decrease its effects on the patient. The recent breakthroughs in technologies, including the use of smart health systems based on Artificial intelligence, IoT and Blockchain are trying to improve the early diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. In this study, we presented an AI-based smart teleopthalmology application for diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. The app has the ability to facilitate the analyses of eye fundus images via deep learning from the Kaggle database using Tensor Flow mathematical library. The app would be useful in promoting mHealth and timely treatment of diabetic retinopathy by clinicians. With the AI-based application presented in this paper, patients can easily get supports and physicians and researchers can also mine or predict data on diabetic retinopathy and reports generated could assist doctors to determine the level of severity of the disease among the people.

There are growing concerns about the mortality due to Breast cancer many of which often result from delayed detection and treatment. So an effective computational approach is needed to develop a predictive model which will help patients and physicians to manage the situation timely. This study presented a Weighted Bayesian Belief Network (WBBN) modeling for breast cancer prediction using the UCI breast cancer dataset. New automated ranking method was used to assign proper weights to attribute value pair based on their impact on causing the disease. Association between attributes was generated using weighted association rule mining between two attributes, multiattributes, and with class labels to generate rules. Weighted Bayesian confidence and weighted Bayesian lift measures were used to produce strong rules to build the model. To build WBBN, the Open Markov tool was used for structure and parametric learning using generated strong rules. The model was trained using 70 records and tested on 30 records with a threshold value of minimum support=36 and confidence=70 which produced results with an accuracy of 97.18. Experimental results show that WBBN achieved better results in most cases compared to other predictive models. The study would contribute to the fight against breast cancer and the quality of treatment.
