Performance analysis and comparison of Machine Learning and LoRa-based Healthcare model

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a widespread condition that is one of the main causes of health disasters around the world, and health monitoring is one of the sustainable development topics. Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies work together to provide a reliable method of monitoring and predicting Diabetes Mellitus. In this paper, we present the performance of a model for patient real-time data collection that employs the Hybrid Enhanced Adaptive Data Rate (HEADR) algorithm for the Long-Range (LoRa) protocol of the IoT. On the Contiki Cooja simulator, the LoRa protocol's performance is measured in terms of high dissemination and dynamic data transmission range allocation. Furthermore, by employing classification methods for the detection of diabetes severity levels on acquired data via the LoRa (HEADR) protocol, Machine Learning prediction takes place. For prediction, a variety of Machine Learning classifiers are employed, and the final results are compared with the already existing models where the Random Forest and Decision Tree classifiers outperform the others in terms of precision, recall, F-measure, and receiver operating curve (ROC) in the Python programming language. We also discovered that using k-fold cross-validation on k-neighbors, Logistic regression (LR), and Gaussian Nave Bayes (GNB) classifiers boosted the accuracy.
