Predicting the Cerebral Blood Flow Change Condition during Brain Strokes using Feature Fusion of FMRI Images and Clinical Features
By fusing clinical information with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fFMRI) pictures, this study describes a novel method for predicting changes in cerebral blood flow during brain strokes. The FMRI data and patient-specific variables, such as age, gender, and medical history, are combined via feature fusion in the proposed technique. As a result, the model developed can accurately forecast changes in cerebral blood flow that occur during brain strokes. The efficiency of the suggested strategy is shown by experimental findings. The performance of the model is greatly enhanced when FMRI data and clinical characteristics are combined as opposed to just one data source. The findings of this study have important ramifications for increasing the accuracy of stroke diagnosis and treatment and, eventually, for bettering patient outcomes. The experimental results showed that the proposed method a high level of accuracy in predicting changes in cerebral blood flow after brain strokes. The performance of the model was much enhanced by combining clinical characteristics with FMRI data as opposed to using only one of these data sources. This emphasizes the value of including pertinent clinical information in the diagnosis and management of stroke. 2023 IEEE. -

A comprehensive examination of factors influencing intention to continue usage of health and fitness apps: a two-stage hybrid SEM-ML analysis
This research developed a theoretical framework based on the uses and gratification theory to investigate the intention to continue usage of Health and Fitness Apps (HFAs). In addition, this study explored how health valuation moderates the relationship between determinants and users intention to continue usage. A total of 447 HFA users data was collected from Delhi NCR, India through a purposive sampling technique. Partial least square-structure equation modeling was used to test the role of potential predictors influencing users behavioral intention to continue. The machine learning algorithms were employed to identify the features of importance. The results revealed that system quality, networkability, recordability, and task technology fit have a positive influence on hedonic motivation and utilitarian motivation. While information quality influences hedonic motivation but does not affect utilitarian motivation. Health valuation positively moderates the relationship between information quality, system quality, and networkability to intention to continue usage. We also observed that hedonic motivation emerged as a key predictor of users intention to continue usage of HFAs. The results would possibly offer useful recommendations for HFA developers, marketers, and health policymakers. The quality of fitness apps should be the primary concern of app developers. Furthermore, gamification can be incorporated into HFAs as it may influence the users hedonic motivations. The research contributes by developing a uses and gratification theory tailored for the HFAs. Additionally, this research incorporates hedonic and utilitarian motivation as mediating variables and health valuation as a moderator. 2024 The Author(s).

XGBoost Classification of XAI based LIME and SHAP for Detecting Dementia in Young Adults
As technology progresses on a fast pace, it is imperative that shall be used in the field of medicine for the early detection and diagnostics of dementia. Dementia affects humans by deteriorating the cognitive functions, and as such many algorithms have been used in the detection of the same but all these algorithms remain a black box to the medical fraternity which is still dubious about the nature and credibility of the prediction. To ease this issue, the use of explainable artificial intelligence has been proposed and implemented in this paper, which makes it easy to understand why and how the model is giving a particular output. In this paper the XGBoost classification algorithm has been used which give an accuracy of 93.33% and to understand these predictions, two separate algorithms namely Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) and Shapely Additive Explanations (SHAP) have been used. These algorithms are compared based on the type of explanation they provide for the same input and thus the weakness of LIME algorithm has been found out at certain intervals based on the clinically important features of the dataset. On the other hand, both the algorithms make it easy for medical practitioners to understand the dominating factors of a predicted output thereby helping to eliminate the black-box nature of dementia detection. 2023 IEEE. -
Local post-hoc interpretable machine learning model for prediction of dementia in young adults
Dementia is still the prevailing brain disease with late diagnosis. There is a large increase in dementia disease among young adults. The major reason is over indulgence of young adults on social media resulting in denial of disease and delayed clinical diagnosis. Dementia is preventable and curable if diagnosed at an early stage, however, no attempts are being made to mitigate dementia in young adults. Today artificial intelligence (AI) based advanced technology with real-life consultations in clinical or remote setups are proved beneficial and is used to detect dementia. Most AI-based test is dependent on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools and uses non-invasive imaging technology such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for disease diagnosis. In this paper, a local post-hoc interpretable machine learning (LPIML) model for prediction of dementia in young adults is proposed. The performance parameters are computed and compared based on accuracy, specificity, precision, F1 score and recall. The proposed work yields 98.87% training accuracy on original images and 99.31% training accuracy on morphologically enhanced images. The performance results are intrinsic and intuitive in learning the prediction results of individual case. The adoption of the proposed work will accelerate the diagnosis process in the era of digital healthcare. 2023 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved. -
Trusted explainable AI based implementation for detection of neurodegenerative disorders (ND)
The potential of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in detection of neurodegenerative disorders (ND) holds great promise in the field of healthcare. These diseases interfere with the daily functioning and independence of a person. The current studies lack in highlighting the aspect of explainability in their predictions and the various algorithms cannot provide any plausible explanations for their predictions making it difficult for medical professionals to place trust in their findings. Thus, the proposed framework aims to bridge this gap by exploring the development of a trustworthy framework for XAI-based ND detection, focusing on key aspects that can significantly impact its effectiveness and acceptance. The framework makes use of Trust-based SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values in classification. By computing trust values, the framework ensures more reliable predictions and increases interpretability, instilling confidence in clinicians and patients. The results show that with the inclusion of the trust-driven framework, the accuracy of the algorithm increased from 93.33% in the normal circumstances to 98.21%, highlighting the efficacy of the framework as compared to the other works. This shows that a trustworthy framework for XAI-driven ND detection can reshape care by enabling early detection, personalized treatment plans and enhancing decision-making process.
