Sensing health: a bibliometric analysis of wearable sensors in healthcare
ConclusionsWearable sensor research has rapidly expanded, led by technology-focused countries and institutions. While engineering innovation continues, interdisciplinary expansion is underway. Initial exploratory focus has progressed to health monitoring applications and clinical translation. However, technology readiness has outpaced clinical validation and real-world viability assessments. Strategic partnerships between technical and clinical stakeholders are vital to translate wearable sensors from bench to bedside. This bibliometric analysis provides a research landscape overview to guide future inquiry and stakeholder...

An artificial intelligent network model to monitor the condition of a patient with a breast tumor based on fuzzy logic
ConclusionsIn this article, an intelligent network is proposed for monitoring breast cancer patients. The intelligent network has an OODA loop for monitoring and controlling the patient. The OODA loop includes observation, analysis, decision, and action, making it a continuous and ever-changing process. In order to expand the OODA loop for better control and monitoring of the patient, we have extended the"observation" and"orientation" phases of the process.The observation method is determined based on the type of data and the network structure. Another method is the directionality, which is determined b...
