Realizing an Effective COVID-19 Diagnosis System Based on Machine Learning and IoT in Smart Hospital Environment

The aim of this study is to propose a model based on machine learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) to diagnose patients with COVID-19 in smart hospitals. In this sense, it was emphasized that by the representation for the role of ML models and IoT relevant technologies in smart hospital environment. The accuracy rate of diagnosis (classification) based on laboratory findings can be improved via light ML models. Three ML models, namely, naive Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM), were trained and tested on the basis of laboratory datasets. Three main methodological scenarios of COVID-19 diagnoses, such as diagnoses based on original and normalized datasets and those based on feature selection, were presented. Compared with benchmark studies, our proposed SVM model obtained the most substantial diagnosis performance (up to 95%). The proposed model based on ML and IoT can be served as a clinical decision support system. Furthermore, the outcomes could reduce the workload for doctors, tackle the issue of patient overcrowding, and reduce mortality rate during the COVID-19 pandemic.
