Edge computing is a fast-growing and much needed technology in healthcare. The problem of implementing artificial intelligence on edge devices is the complexity and high resource intensity of the most known neural network data analysis methods and algorithms. The difficulty of implementing these methods on low-power microcontrollers with small memory size calls for the development of new effective algorithms for neural networks. This study presents a new method for analyzing medical data based on the LogNNet neural network, which uses chaotic mappings to transform input information. The method effectively solves classification problems and calculates risk factors for the presence of a disease in a patient according to a set of medical health indicators. The efficiency of LogNNet in assessing perinatal risk is illustrated on cardiotocogram data obtained from the UC Irvine machine learning repository. The classification accuracy reaches ~91% with the~3–10 kB of RAM used on the Arduino microcontroller. Using the LogNNet network trained on a publicly available database of the Israeli Ministry of Health, a service concept for COVID-19 express testing is provided. A classification accuracy of ~95% is achieved, and~0.6 kB of RAM is used. In all examples, the model is tested using standard classification quality metrics: precision, recall, and F1-measure. The LogNNet architecture allows the implementation of artificial intelligence on medical peripherals of the Internet of Things with low RAM resources and can be used in clinical decision support systems.

Clinical decision support systems are meant to improve the quality of decision-making in healthcare. Artificial intelligence is the science of creating intelligent systems that solve complex problems at the level of or better than human experts. Combining artificial intelligence methods into clinical decision support will enable the utilization of large quantities of data to produce relevant decision-making information to practitioners. This article examines various artificial intelligence methodologies and shows how they may be incorporated into clinical decision-making systems. A framework for describing artificial intelligence applications in clinical decision support systems is presented.

The growing availability of medical data has sparked fresh interests in Computerized Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), thanks to recent breakthroughs in machine and deep learning. CDSS has showed a lot of promise in terms of improving healthcare, enhancing the safety of patients and minimizing treatment costs. The application of CDSS, nonetheless, is unsafe since an insufficient or defective CDSS may possibly degrade healthcare quality and place patients at potential threat. Furthermore, the deployment of a CDSS may fail when the CDSS's output is ignored by its intended users owing to a lack of confidence, relevance, or actionability. We offer literature-based advice for the various elements of CDSS adoption, with a particular emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems: quality assurance, deployment, commissioning, acceptability tests, and selection, in this research. A critical selection process will assist in the process of identifying CDSS, which effectively suits the localized sites’ needs and preferences. Acceptance testing ensures that the chosen CDSS meets the specified standards and meets the safety criteria. The CDSS will be ready for safe clinical usage at the local site once the commissioning procedure is completed. An efficient system implementation must result in a smooth rollout of the CDSS to well-trained end-users with reasonable expectations. Furthermore, quality assurance will ensure that the CDSS's levels are maintained and that any problems are discovered and resolved quickly. We conclude this research by discussing the methodical adoption process for CDSS to assist in avoiding issues, enhance the safety of patients and increasing quality of service.
