People often suffer from unpredictable injuries during physical exercise. One of the important reasons is the absence of a scientific sports health management system. Therefore, the construction of such a scientific and effective system has gradually attracted the attention of scholars, which is of great significance to realizing people’s scientific and personalized physical fitness. An intelligent sports health management system based on big data analysis and the Internet of things (IoT) is constructed to solve this problem. The system consists of the user, IoT, cloud, system analysis, evaluation, and data layers. Firstly, a new multilabel feature selection algorithm is proposed in the system analysis layer. The suggested multilabel feature selection algorithm maps the sample space to the label space through the L 21 norm. Then, the consistency of various topologies is guaranteed by combining with feature popularity so that the factors affecting user health can be better selected. Secondly, the experiment is compared with SCLS, SSFS, and six other multilabel feature selection algorithms in 6 classic medical multilabel datasets. Experimental results under five indexes show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed feature selection algorithm. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed intelligent sports management system is analyzed.

e-Health IoT sensor data represent entities which are evolving over time, and several healthcare applications require keeping a full history of such data. Moreover, e-Health IoT data can be considered as Big Data and the JSON format is being considered as the best data format to represent Big Data and to facilitate their management, storage and exchange. However, there is no standard/consensual temporal model for e-Health IoT data, including JSON that lacks explicit support of time-varying data. Consequently, in order to manage Big Data histories and temporal e-Health IoT data, application developers have to proceed in an ad hoc manner. For that purpose, we propose in this chapter TJeH (Temporal JSON e-Health IoT data model), a temporal extension of the JSON data model, which supports the representation of temporal aspects of e-Health IoT data. Besides, and since TJeH is a logical model, in order to facilitate the work of both designers and database administrators of e-Health applications, we have also defined a graphical conceptual model for time-varying e-Health IoT data, named C-TJeH (Conceptual TJeH), associated to TJeH. C-TJeH makes easy the design of temporal JSON e-Health IoT data, with a conceptual model that provides a graphical user-friendly representation.

In today's world, the advancement of telediagnostic equipment plays an essential role to monitor heart disease. The earlier diagnosis of heart disease proliferates the compatibility of treatment of patients and predominantly provides an expeditious diagnostic recommendation from clinical experts. However, the feature extraction is a major challenge for heart disease prediction where the high dimensional data increases the learning time for existing machine learning classifiers. In this article, a novel efficient Internet of Things-based tuned adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (TANFIS) classifier has been proposed for accurate prediction of heart disease. Here, the tuning parameters of the proposed TANFIS are optimized through Laplace Gaussian mutation-based moth flame optimization and grasshopper optimization algorithm. The simulation scenario can be carried out using11 different datasets from the UCI repository. The proposed method obtains an accuracy of 99.76% for heart disease prediction and it has been improved upto 5.4% as compared with existing algorithms.

Health is an indicator of a person's physiological and mental health which not only depicts a lack of illness but also defines the growth of that person (Huang et al. in International Journal of Communication Systems 34(4):e4683, [1). Keeping track of our health status regularly is inconvenient because of the strenuous schedules in our daily life. This system not only captures bio-signals like ECG which is a prime indicator of heart condition, by using AD8232, but also monitors other needed parameters such as SpO2 level and pulse rate by using MAX30102 and body temperature by using DS18B20. It also provides a maintained atmosphere like hospitals, by monitoring environment parameters like temperature and humidity level by using a DHT11 sensor. It uses an ESP32 microcontroller for Wi-Fi purposes; here it is used as a station point. This system does real-time monitoring of parameters of cardiac patients, then data is uploaded to the Cayenne cloud which provides data visualization, storing, and alerting. This system also sends a notification if an alarming condition occurs. When any of the parameters goes above the typical range, it sends an alert via mail or SMS to the registered mail or mobile number to notify the user or user family.

Several industries have adopted Internet of Things (IoT) technology extensively. Several impediments have impeded its widespread adoption in the oil and gas industry, making it challenging to supervise the safety of infrastructure projects involving these industries. The objective of this study was to catalogue and analyze the barriers to using IoT for ensuring safety on oil and gas development sites. The primary objective of the study was to develop a model of the barriers preventing the use of IoT for oil and gas safety management. Using a mixed-methods research strategy, the data collection and analysis were carried out. The survey information was analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Five formative constructs emerged from the EFA and were confirmed by structural equation modelling: technical, organizational , integration, economic, and efficiency. Using SEM's path analysis, we determined that all five structures have a substantial impact on how oil and gas companies manage the safety of construction sites when utilizing IoT. The findings of this study could inform efforts to improve the safety management of oil and gas construction sites through IoT. Using the framework presented in this study, organizations in the gas and energy industry can eliminate the barriers to IoT deployment in building safety management.

According to the Pan American Health Organization, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. This paper presents a systematic review to highlight the use of IoT, IoMT, and machine learning to detect, predict, or monitor cardiovascular disease. We had a final sample of 164 high-impact journal papers, focusing on two categories: cardiovascular disease detection using IoT/IoMT technologies and cardiovascular disease using machine learning techniques. For the first category, we found 82 proposals, while for the second, we found 85 proposals. The research highlights list of IoT/IoMT technologies, machine learning techniques, datasets, and the most discussed cardiovascular diseases. Neural networks have been popularly used, achieving an accuracy of over 90%, followed by random forest, XGBoost, k-NN, and SVM. Based on the results, we conclude that IoT/IoMT technologies can predict cardiovascular diseases in real time, ensemble techniques obtained one of the best performances in the accuracy metric, and hypertension and arrhythmia were the most discussed diseases. Finally, we identified the lack of public data as one of the main obstacles for machine learning approaches for cardiovascular disease prediction.
