Abstract
This paper aims to introduce a novel approach that includes three steps, namely Energy efficient clustering, Disease diagnosis, and an Alert system. Initially, energy-efficient clustering of nodes was conducted, and to render the clustering more optimal, its centroid was optimally selected by a new hybrid algorithm. In addition, this cluster formation was conducted based on constraints such as distance and energy. Further, the disease diagnosis in IoT was performed under two phases namely, “feature extraction and classification”. During feature extraction, the statistical and higher-order features were extracted. These extracted features were then classified via Optimized Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). To make the classification more precise, the weights of the DCNN were optimally tuned by a new hybrid algorithm referred to as Hybrid Elephant and Moth Flame with Adaptive Learning (HEM-AL). Finally, an alert system was enabled via proposed severity level estimation, which determined the severity of the disease, suggesting patients to visit the hospital. Lastly, the supremacy of the developed approach was examined via evaluation over the other extant techniques. Accordingly, the proposed model attained an accuracy of 0.99 for test case 1, and was 7.41%, 17.34%, and 13.41% better than traditional NN, CNN, and DCNN models.
