The Coronavirus disease, i.e. (COVID-19) pandemic outbreaks has inevitably lead to a corresponding movement restrictive measure by the members of both central and state government leadership. The current limitation of healthcare systems cannot predict the COVID-19 outbreaks and vaccination drive. The need of the hour is to use Blockchain Technology for the construction of immutable ledger. In this paper a Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled COVID-19 vaccine tracking system has been proposed. The proposed system is designed using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), decentralized storage by Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) and implemented using Truffle and Ganache Tool. The smart contract interaction among the entities is developed with Drizzle and the front-end using ReactJS. The performance of the proposed framework has been presented with Keccack 256 transaction hash, the total number of transactions, gas consumed by each contract. Additionally the performance parameters such as latency, throughput, traffic in, out, CPU, and memory utilization of the blockchain framework are also calculated. The artificial neural network (ANN) has been used to classify the vaccination group. Such an attempt is a worthwhile addition to the state of the art as evident from the results presented herein. The proposed framework provides a way for vaccinated members of the community to be tracked and indexed so as to avail the benefits, for example, less restrictive movements nationally, internationally, or simply in their own respective communities. This paper leverages the advantages of Blockchain Technology to obtain a reliable and accurate way to facilitate the entire tracking process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wearable devices equipped with a multitude of compact, lightweight, biometric sensors are helpful in tracking the real-time physiological data for healthcare-related analysis. However, a survey of devices under the smart-wearable market segment revealed that the contemporary focus is limited to capturing and displaying some of the biometrics like pulse rate, movement of the user, calorie counter, etc. on a smart screen. Employing machine learning techniques can be particularly helpful in analyzing the trends of user-specific biometric data for pre-emptive actions. This paper presents a meaningful analysis in real-time by using machine learning approaches to interpret this physiological data and alert the user about his behavioral pattern through IoT. This research focuses on classifying the mood of the user as agitated or non-agitated, by analyzing the biometrics to help the user decipher meaningful conclusions and take suitable pre-emptive measures to refrain from any unintentional impulsive outburst. Machine learning algorithms like Polynomial regression with threshold, Decision Tree, Random Forest ensemble and variants of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have been employed to analyse the biometric patterns from the experimental data acquired under different circumstances and detect the user's mood to assign a score to the user. The proposed approach uses a reinforcement learning algorithm to calibrate the user's current temperament by taking intermediate user feedback and comparing the score with the temperament. The results reveal that the proposed system detects the user's mood fluctuations with higher accuracy and relevance compared to any contemporary model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Electroencephalogram (EEG) can track the brain waves which contain the neural activity of the brain. EEG signals help to understand the physiological and functional details and activities of the brain. In the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms were useful in brain disorder detection and classification. Recently, a rapid increase in using Deep Learning (DL) methods in various applications in EEG signals not only helps in the detection of brain disorders but also facilitates the recognition of human emotions and various psycho-neuro disorders. In order to offer a beneficial and broad perspective, a detailed survey on the application of deep learning architecture in EEG signals has been carried out in this paper. Different deep learning methods, using varied architecture in EEG signal analysis, offer an understanding to develop the next level of AI-based systems. This review will provide information about how deep learning methods are used in EEG signals and the challenges and limitations of each method in classification; moreover making it helpful for those who are exploring EEG signals using DL algorithms.

In this paper, the fuzzy logic, neuro-fuzzy logic, and artificial neural network speed controllers in feedforward and recurrent architectures are designed and modeled to control the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. The fundamentals of artificial intelligence-based control algorithms are illustrated. The detailed performance of the PMSM drive is studied by applying various mechanical disturbances such as starting performance, speed reversal, flux weakening, and load perturbations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
