Abstract
Intelligent and sustainable healthcare systems can considerably benefit from applying Computational Intelligence (CI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These technological breakthroughs can reduce the ecological footprint and raise the bar for excellence. Yet, the broad adoption of such technologies for cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) applications generates enormous amounts of data, which can heavily strain the available computational resources. The major motivation behind this study is to provide evidence that Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), a sophisticated subclass of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), can outperform traditional RNNs. These technologies can be effective in identifying and treating breast cancer. This study collects data from tagged IoT devices and trains a GRU-RNN classifier. The Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) data tests the system’s accuracy. The results show the proposed Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is more effective than the current methods in recall, accuracy, and precision while preserving 95% of the original GRU-RNN.
