AI-powered cardiovascular risk prediction using deep learning images in IoT-blockchain systems
Abstract
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) necessitates the development of intelligent, secure, and scalable diagnostic systems capable of accurate and early disease prediction. The importance of this research is to develop a robust and secure system for predicting CVD risk from echocardiogram imaging integrated within an internet of things (IoT) framework and enhanced by blockchain technology. Due to non-invasive feature identification problems and dimensionality, prediction accuracy is degraded due to higher false positives, which leads to lower precision and recall rates. To resolve this problem, implement AI-powered CVD risk prediction based on smart-featured deep learning in Echocardiogram images for an IoT-blockchain environment. The first phase contains data analysis echocardio-dataset vision transformation technique is functional to find the risk level of the disease. The adaptive gaussian filter is applied for normalization process and design a spread-spectral canny edge morphological segmentation and SURF-scaled invariant feature selection for dimensionality scaling. Then, visual geometry network (VGNet) convolutional neural network (CNN) is applied for disease classification. In second phase, the advanced blockchain technology will provide a decentralized and immutable record of patient data, thereby ensuring data integrity and security. The proposed system produces higher performance by analysing the sensitivity specificity as well by ensuring the disease detection level. The blockchain provides higher security to safe in repository for image data for carrying sensitive data with a platform for sharing and validating predictive insights among healthcare providers, researchers, and patients, thus fostering collaborative healthcare efforts.
