Advancements in computers and electronic technologies have led to the emergence of a new generation of efficient small intelligent systems. The products of such technologies might include Smartphones and wearable devices, which have attracted the attention of medical applications. These products are used less in critical medical applications because of their resource constraint and failure sensitivity. This is due to the fact that without safety considerations, small-integrated hardware will endanger patients' lives. Therefore, proposing some principals is required to construct wearable systems in healthcare so that the existing concerns are dealt with. Accordingly, this paper proposes an architecture for constructing wearable systems in critical medical applications. The proposed architecture is a three-tier one, supporting data flow from body sensors to cloud. The tiers of this architecture include wearable computers, mobile computing, and mobile cloud computing. One of the features of this architecture is its high possible fault tolerance due to the nature of its components. Moreover, the required protocols are presented to coordinate the components of this architecture. Finally, the reliability of this architecture is assessed by simulating the architecture and its components, and other aspects of the proposed architecture are discussed.

Spiking Neural P System with weight model of majority voting technique for reliable interactive image segmentation

Mehran Dalvand, Abdolhossein Fathi, Arezoo Kamran

Summary: Interactive image segmentation is a method that uses user input to accurately segment objects from the background. Current techniques are sensitive to the location and number of seed points, requiring users to repeat the process multiple times. This paper proposes a parallel fusion model using majority voting technique, which is more reliable and requires less user interaction. Evaluation and comparison with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed model.
