Deep learning for infectious disease surveillance integrating internet of things for rapid response

Abstrak

Particularly in the case of emerging infectious diseases and worldwide pandemics, infectious disease monitoring is essential for quick identification and efficient response to epidemics. Improving surveillance systems for quick reaction might be possible with the help of new deep learning and internet of things (IoT) technologies. This paper introduces an infectious disease monitoring architecture based on deep learning coupled with IoT devices to facilitate early diagnosis and proactive intervention measures. This approach uses recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to identify temporal patterns suggestive of infectious disease outbreaks by analyzing sequential data retrieved from IoT devices like smart thermometers and wearable sensors. To identify small changes in health markers and forecast the development of diseases, RNN architectures with long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are used to capture long-range relationships in the data. Spatial analysis permits the integration of geographic data from IoT devices, allowing for the identification of infection hotspots and the tracking of afflicted persons' movements. Quick action steps like focused testing, contact tracing, and medical resource deployment are prompted by abnormalities detected early by real-time monitoring and analysis. Preventing or lessening the severity of infectious disease outbreaks is the goal of the planned monitoring system, which would enhance public health readiness and response capacities.
