An IoT-based Model for Air Quality Monitoring to Enable Telehealth for Asthma Patients Facilitating a Way to Healthcare 5.0 Annasha Dhar, Sunanda Samanta, Aniruddha Mandal, Priya Roy, Satyabrata Maity, Kamalesh Karmakar, Arnab Mitra Transforming Healthcare with AI and Iot Intelligent Solutions for A Digital Future, 2026 Advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have resulted in a new era of Industry 5.0 primarily promotes a human-centered design paradigm, design sustainability, and environment-friendliness. The popularity of Industry 5.0 concepts has influenced the progress of Healthcare 4.0 into Healthcare 5.0. Among several other benefits of Healthcare 5.0, telehealth enables users to interact with patient-caregivers, such as doctors, from a distance, primarily using Internet-based technologies. Telehealth often facilitates remote monitoring and analysis of real-time patients’ data, e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, etc. To facilitate telehealth-based applications, we choose to focus on the design of an air quality monitoring (AQM) system, as air quality monitoring is very important in highly populated urban regions, where vulnerable groups of the population suffer from asthma diseases and are more susceptible to airborne pollutant exposure. This chapter presents a design of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based air quality monitoring device with a smartphone connectivity facility, particularly focusing on the efficient detection of a few key pollutants, e.g., Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), humidity, and temperature. To enhance the reliability of the accurate assessment and prediction of pollutant levels, several Machine Learning (ML) algorithm-based approaches were incorporated into the presented model. Further, delivering live alarms about the surrounding air condition is also considered.
On signal encryption at MapReduce and collaborative attribute-based access with ECAs for a preprocessed data set with ML in a privacy-preserving health 4.0 Arnab Mitra, Anabik Pal E Prime Advances in Electrical Engineering Electronics and Energy, 2025 • It presents ML-based data preprocessing in PPH 4.0 for an effective dimensionality reduction. • It presents signal encryption at MapReduce and collaborative attribute-based access with ECAs for the preprocessed data set with ML in PPH 4.0 for enhanced data security and privacy. • It presents four new algorithms in PPH 4.0 to support ML-based data preprocessing, signal encryption at MapReduce, and collaborative attribute-based access with ECAs. Latest Industry 4.0 developments and data science advances have transformed traditional hospital-centric patient care into a Healthcare 4.0 system that uses advanced technology-driven decision-making involving several low resource constraints electronic devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Smartphones, Tablets, etc. In a healthcare system, the data is the key fuel for such improved technology, which presently is an instance of big data. However, due to several data protection laws and regulations, the confidentiality and security of healthcare data are a big concern. To support the cost-effectiveness modeling of data security and privacy in Healthcare 4.0 scenarios, the Privacy-Preserving Health 4.0 (PPH 4.0) framework was proposed by integrating Machine Learning (ML) and Elementary Cellular Automata (ECAs). The ML techniques were proposed to offer effective data pre-processing and dimensionality reduction. In contrast, ECAs were proposed to offer an integral parallelism and very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) capability at a low cost for its physical implementation and low power consumption towards data security and privacy of such big data in PPH 4.0. The presented research presents signal encryption at MapReduce with ECAs generated pseudo-random noise signal and collaborative attribute-based access with ECAs for a preprocessed data set with ML in PPH 4.0. Experimental results and analysis of the proposed approach reveal its true nature and suitability are for an enhanced Healthcare 4.0 system, i.e., PPH 4.0.
On Tuning the Randomness in the Random Forest Algorithm for Performance Enhancement Towards Fake Profile Detection in Online Social Platforms Tanya Singh, Priyanshu, Dhruv Raj, Piyush Kumar Byahut, Kamalesh Karmakar, Arnab Mitra 2025 International Conference in Advances in Power Signal and Information Technology Apsit 2025, 2025 The increased popularity of online social networking platforms has positively and negatively impacted users (humans). Among several others, one significant concern is the presence of fake profiles, which may harm users’ experience and trust. To deal with such an issue, we present our research to focus on detecting counterfeit profiles in online social networking platforms. As an instance of such an online platform, we choose Instagram. In our presented research, we have used a supervised Machine Learning Algorithm known as the Random Forest (RF) due to its flexibility and strength towards ensemble learning technique that is especially useful for classification and regression-related tasks. In our proposed approach, we precisely focus on the possible enhancement of the accuracy and efficiency of the fake profile detection technique with enhanced randomness achieved through seed selection. Experimental results confirm that the proposed model achieved 98.71 percent accuracy, an F1-score of 0.96, and an improved Recall value of 97 percent (from 85 percent), which ensures better detection of fake profiles compared to the Baseline Random Forest model.
Cellular automata-based MapReduce design: Migrating a big data processing model from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 Arnab Mitra E Prime Advances in Electrical Engineering Electronics and Energy, 2024 A successful deployment of Industry 5.0 is significantly dependent on the synergetic integration of several advanced technologies such as big data processing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration, and several effective digitization techniques that emphasize the uses of Robotics, Internet of Things (IoTs), Cloud Computing, etc. with active participations from human workers. Several researchers have explored the importance of big data processing in view of Industry 4.0 as it facilitated enhanced production at any smart manufacturing line by ensuring efficient process management, typically involving big data processing. Researchers presented several MapReduce-based data processing models at smart manufacturing lines to facilitate big data processing. Among several others, the Elementary Cellular Automata (ECAs)-based MapReduce model was introduced as an energy-efficient low-cost model for big data processing in view of the Industry 4.0 scenario. In the present research, an investigation is further proposed to explore the true potential (if any) for the ECAs-based MapReduce model with reference to available several MapReduce models, to migrate an existing big data processing model from Industry 4.0 into the future i.e., Industry 5.0. Investigation results as achieved from the comparison among several MapReduce models and further examinations about the inherent quality of shuffle in those MapReduce blocks, explore the inherent advantages of ECAs-based MapReduce model towards its choice for big data processing in Industry 5.0 scenario.
How Can We Enhance Data Security in Digital Twin-Enabled IoT Networks: A Proposal with ECAs Toward Prime Out-degree Finding of PageRank Regular Digraph in Blockchain Apsareena Zulekha Shaik, Arnab Mitra Blockchain and Digital Twin Enabled Iot Networks Privacy and Security Perspectives, 2024 Digital Twin technology is best explained as the effortless assimilation of data between a physical and simulated machine in one or the other direction. Thus, the Digital Twin may facilitate the Industry 4.0 revolution through the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. The increased real-time high-volume data generated by the IoT may seamlessly be handled by the Digital Twin. On the other hand, Blockchain Technology is considered an effective data security and privacy solution. For this reason, the uses of Blockchains might be realised in a variety of applications, e.g., IoT-based applications, Cryptocurrency, Insurance, eHealth, Smart City, etc. Due to its popularity, an emphasis may be observed on the advancements of existing Blockchain Technology. To support the ongoing security and privacy advancements in IoT-based networks with Digital Twin, an enhanced design in Blockchain Technology has been presented in this chapter incorporating the Elementary Cellular Automata (ECAs), as ECAs-based design supports inherent parallel computing capability, design simplicity, and low energy requirements at its physical implementation. In this chapter, the application suitability of ECAs-based design towards Blockchain Technology is initially investigated, and finally, a detailed design with ECAs toward the PageRank regular digraph (directed graph) with prime out-degrees is presented as a possible enhancement toward the Blockchain Technology. Detailed investigations further confirm the application suitability of ECAs as an energy and cost-effective model for an enhanced design in Blockchain Technology involving a cost-effective search for prime out-degrees in PageRank regular digraph towards Digital Twin enabled IoT networks.
