A novel deep learning model for diabetes melliuts prediction in IoT-based healthcare environment with effective feature selection mechanism

The management of diabetes involves much compliance, disease awareness, and patient empowerment. Blood glucose levels in people with diabetes are abnormal, resulting in various health problems that affect their kidneys, hearts, and vision. Monitoring the patient’s health has the benefit of using the Internet of Things (IoT) and diabetes patient monitoring systems. Because this system uses machine learning to classify data, its value goes beyond patient monitoring. So, this paper proposes a novel deep learning model with an effective feature selection mechanism for diabetes mellitus (DM) prediction in IoT-based healthcare environment. The proposed work starts by collecting the real-time IoT data of the patients from the Pima Indian Diabetes database. The data imbalance problem of the collected dataset is rectified by applying the synthetic minority oversampling technique. Afterward, the balanced dataset is preprocessed by applying missing value imputation and data standardization to improve the classification performance. Then, the hybrid algorithm called k-means clustering-based sailfish optimization is utilized, which performs clustering and optimization to select the essential features from the preprocessed dataset. Finally, the selected features are fed into the kaiming and switan included bidirectional long short-term memory for DM prediction. The proposed system achieves better results than the existing state-of-the-art techniques, which shows its effectiveness in predicting DM in real-time IoT datasets.
