Abstract: BACKGROUND: Recently, wearable technologies have gained attention in diverse applications of the medical platform to guarantee the health and safety of the sportsperson with the assistance of the Internet of things (IoT) device. The IoT device’s topology varies due to the shift in users’ orientation and accessibility, making it impossible to assign resources, and routing strategies have been considered the prominent factor in the current medical research. Further, for sportspersons with sudden cardiac arrests, hospital survival rates are low in which wearable IoT devices play a significant role. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, the energy efficient optimized …heuristic framework (EEOHF) has been proposed and implemented on a wearable device of the sportsperson’s health monitoring system. METHOD: The monitoring system has been designed with cloud assistance to locate the nearest health centers during an emergency. The wearable sensor technologies have been used with an optimized energy-efficient algorithm that helps athletes monitor their health during physical workouts. The monitoring system has fitness tracking devices, in which health information is gathered, and workout logs are tracked using EEOHF. The proposed method is applied to evaluate and track the sportsperson’s fitness based on case study analysis. RESULTS: The simulation results have been analyzed, and the proposed EEOHF achieves a high accuracy ratio of 97.8%, a performance ratio of 95.3%, and less energy consumption of 9.4%, delay of 13.1%, and an average runtime of 98.2% when compared to other existing methods.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently become a prevalent technological culture in the sports training system. Although numerous technologies have grown in the sports training system domain, IoT plays a substantial role in its optimized health data processing framework for athletes during workouts. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, a Dynamic data processing system (DDPS) has been suggested with IoT assistance to explore the conventional design architecture for sports training tracking. Method: To track and estimate sportspersons physical activity in day-to-day living, a new paradigm has been combined with wearable IoT devices for efficient data processing …during physical workouts. Uninterrupted observation and review of different sportspersons condition and operations by DDPS helps to assess the sensed data to analyze the sportspersons health condition. Additionally, Deep Neural Network (DNN) has been presented to extract important sports activity features. RESULTS: The numerical results show that the suggested DDPS method enhances the accuracy of 94.3%, an efficiency ratio of 98.2, less delay of 24.6%, error range 28.8%, and energy utilization of 31.2% compared to other existing methods.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Internet of Things (IoT) technology provides a tremendous and structured solution to tackle service deliverance aspects of healthcare in terms of mobile health and remote patient tracking. In medicine observation applications, IoT and cloud computing serves as an assistant in the health sector and plays an incredibly significant role. Health professionals and technicians have built an excellent platform for people with various illnesses, leveraging principles of wearable technology, wireless channels, and other remote devices for low-cost healthcare monitoring. OBJECTIVE: This paper proposed the Fog-IoT-assisted multisensor intelligent monitoring model (FIoT-MIMM) for analyzing the patient’s physical health …condition. METHOD: The proposed system uses a multisensor device for collecting biometric and medical observing data. The main point is to continually generate emergency alerts on mobile phones from the fog system to users. For the precautionary steps and suggestions for patients’ health, a fog layer’s temporal information is used. RESULTS: Experimental findings show that the proposed FIoT-MIMM model has less response time and high accuracy in determining a patient’s condition than other existing methods. Furthermore, decision making based on real-time healthcare information further improves the utility of the suggested model. Show more

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Soccer is one of the world’s most successful sports with several players. Quality player’s activity management is a tough job for administrators to consider in the Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Candidates need to predict the position, intensity, and path of the shot to look back on their results and determine the stronger against low shot and blocker capacities. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, the IoT-assisted wearable device for activity prediction (IoT-WAP) model has been proposed for predicting the activity of soccer players. METHOD: The accelerometer built wearable devices formulates the impacts of …multiple target attempts from the prevailing foot activity model that reflect a soccer player’s characteristics. The deep learning technique is developed to predict players’ various actions for identifying multiple targets from the differentiated input data compared to conventional strategies. The Artificial Neural Network determines a football athlete’s total abilities based on football activities like transfer, kick, run, sprint, and dribbling. RESULTS: The experimental results show that the suggested system has been validated from football datasets and enhances the accuracy ratio of 97.63%, a sensitivity ratio of 96.32%, and a specificity ratio of 93.33% to predict soccer players’ various activities.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Physical health monitoring may take several forms, from individual quality changes to complex health checks carried out by health staff. Present health issues are detected with monitoring, and potential health problems are expected. Wearable sensors provide users with ease in everyday tracking, although many issues must be addressed in such sensor systems. The devices take a long time to obtain the requisite detection and diagnostic expertise and produce false alarms.
