Abstract
Telemedicine is a blooming field with inter-disciplinary research and wide area of application refinement. Various techniques are proposed since last decade with a primary focus of improving telemedicine. The algorithms are either data dependent or application centric. In this paper, a multi-objective optimal medical (MooM) data processing technique is proposed under multi-dimensional data types of medial samples such as text files, image files, log files, electronic health records (EHR), audio signal files and graphic files. The technique proposes a dedicated methodology for independent data-type processing to retrieve on a standard protocol platform for transmission of data via telemedicine channel. The technique uses unsupervised and hybrid clustering approaches of machine learning to predict data-types attributes for processing, thus resulting in higher-order accuracy and data scalability on transmission channel of telemedicine environment. The MooM technique processed on medical images retrieve the compressed stream of data frames with QoS recorded 9.23, for medical textural data the QoS is 9.87 and audio signal pattern data, the QoS is recorded 9.76 on a scale of 10.

1 Introduction
Telemedicine is a boon towards modernization of connecting and framing a network of rural healthcare units with urban medical standards and organizations. Telemedicine in-terms of networking is define as “A virtual network within existing network infrastructure for data communication with higher order of accuracy and lower order of data losses”. According to Ahmed et al. (2019a) a study is conducted for information and communication technology (ICT)’s role in rebuilding and connecting rural community with urban modernized amenities. In developing countries, building a dedicated infrastructure for Telemedicine is a major concern. Telemedicine infrastructure includes sophisticated remote healthcare units for data collection and diagnosis, remote connectivity for servers/clouds and a reliable media of communication. Various algorithms and techniques for design on telemedicine framework is designed and proposed (Patil and Ahmed 2014; Hung and Zhang 2003; Woodward et al. 2001). The techniques are either data driven (Patil and Ahmed 2014) or constrained with internal infrastructure (Peifer et al. 1999), thus causing a heap of data losses though accuracy on data processing is achieved.
In proposed work, a novel MooM data processing technique is discussed to fill the research gaps on medical data communication over a typical networking infrastructure (Hayter and Feldman 2015). The technique is designed for data transmission on low line bandwidth channel available at rural sectors. The technique includes multi-dimensional medical data processing and optimization. The processed data is converted to a “standard line of operation” (SLO). SLO design bridges the proposed scheme into a well-planned data online technique. Typically, SLO converts audio medical signals, images and log files into single platform of computation. Thus enhancing the system dependency towards delivering higher quality of service (QoS).
The major objective of this article is to bring a structural understanding with data standardization and parametric evaluation to the inter-evaluating parameters of medical datasets. The research study brings a brief coordination with a dedicated telemedicine protocol for transferring the datasets under TelMED framework.
2 Background
Telemedicine infrastructure and communication was primarily designed and citied by Hayter and Feldman (2015), the team has designed an infrastructural setup for video and voice data transfer over a LAN cards under encapsulation and de-encapsulation technique. A detailed methodology and approaches for data communication under medical environment is projected by Hwang et al. (2003), the authors study is data type centric, revolves its findings towards data operations. Hwang et al. (2003) discusses scalable data compression techniques using wavelet transformers. The data bit streams are thus computed over multiple layers and hence a load-overhead delay is computed on larger data transmission system. Another data centric compression is reported by Ahmed et al. (2019b) for EEG data processing. Lastly a milestone proposition on Telemedicine is reported and discussed in Zajtchuk and Gilbert (1999) with integrated role of telemedicine in treating and diagnosing modern day diseases and consultation.
TelMED protocol design by the author Ahmed et al. (2020) is considered as a turning point towards understanding and estimating the telemedicine environment, the proposed model is based on resource allocation techniques with respect to resource grouping and clustering approached using dynamic and static datasets of MooM (Ahmed and Sandhya 2019; Ahmed et al. 2019c), the MooM datasets are formulated under a pro-initial environment of data standardization and henceforth, the processing system is appended and restored overall under this article (Ahmed et al. 2016).
Towards the recent development, the authors from Vijayakumar and Arun (2017), Joseph et al. (2019), Sauers‐Ford et al. (2019) has proposed supporting algorithms and thus a similarity is appended to reform and distribute the telemedicine environment. Pezoulas et al. (2019), Shao et al. (2019), Chen et al. (2019) have proposed a standardization approaches and techniques independently on various medical data and thus has the proposed article extracts the similarities in the research outcomes.
3 Methodology
Medical data samples are multi-objective and multi-dimensional with respect to attributes, features and data representation. In proposed MooM data processing technique, the data is collected from various open medical data sources such as remote health centers, hospitals and labs. The data is unprocessed and hence saved in generalized format. MooM data processing technique is appended to remove and segregate data into four primary categories such as medical imaging, feature pattern log files, medical audio signal files and others (uncategorized files).
The proposed work is first of its kind to propose a methodology and technique for standardizing telemedicine platform with respect to various multi-objective datasets as demonstrated in Fig. 1. The proposed MooM technique appends an independent processing and data optimization algorithm resulting to form a standard line of platform. The proposed technique is sub-classes as follows (i) medical image processing and optimization, (ii) medical textural pattern file processing and optimization, (iii) medical signal file processing and optimization, (iv) standardization of datasets using Huffman’s code and (v) medical dataset evaluation using MooM technique.
3.1 Standardization of medical image datasets
Medical images are most common representations via communication channels. Images are collected from various medical instruments and processing laboratories. Since images consist of MRI, PET, CT and X-ray format, the datasets are preprocessed from the retrieval of recessive images in dataset according to the recursive images are retrieved on pixel density over a pattern extraction as shown in Eq. 1:
where P0 is pattern extracted of given independent sample with respect to K-mean clustering over pixel density (pixelden) of image ratio (m × n), thus resulting in Eq. 2 towards stacking and retrieving relevant images with no recurrence images (i.e.) pixelden is removed with image density to form Rd (Data pattern ratio). Thus a reflecting stack value of images are achieved from Eq. 2:
where M is byte of dataset on processing and ‘DS’ is data stacking with dual head indexing to retrieve most sensible and influential parameters. Thus the stacking is cross-examined to retrieve CS (independent stack count) in Eq. 3 with (i to n) values are representation of image indexes generated on running attribute (P0):
Henceforth, the output (CS) generates most reliable datasets of processing unit. The overall images in Cs is stacked as labeled in Eq. 4:
where S is image dataset without recursion of medical samples, generated on CS over x, with x is represented as indexing parameter of image (I) and Mi is iterating values of bytes of data aligned w.r.t image sample (S).
The sample (S) of dataset is processed to align resembling factor with ‘n’ order image registration process to eliminate the possibility of misaligned angle representation. The detailed process is demonstrated in with image registration and verification process. Thus a relative feature (FT) of each image is represented as shown in Eq. 5:
where ‘A’ is attribute set of sample (S) with registration entropy (E) of ɵ towards Ri and Rf. Thus, on featuring over S the Eq. 5 can be remapped as Eq. 6, where E is the entropy of image sample over processing ‘A’ attributes set:
The processed dataset is represented as S1 with non-intra dependent datasets and thus datasets is ready towards core processing of standardization. (i.e.) dataset compression, typically the data S1 considered for compression, undergoes k-mean clustering for pattern extraction and classification as shown in Eq. 7:
where (xi) is occurrence of object interval with i for pixel variance (p). The computation is iterated over a self-call (Ci) to retrieve block-chain reaction of clusters. Thus, the clustering learning (CL) is combination of dataset on Eq. 7 for Huffman coding; the codes generated are internally optimized as in Eq. 8:
The bit stream generated by Eq. 8 is reflected towards optimization to generate a series of frames for transmission under low line channel as represented in Eq. 9. Consider data frame (FD) generated over an interval of time (ti) for given sample of processed data (H), thus the frame (FD)I segmentation is as follows:
On addition of limited time frame (ti), Eq. 9 is summarized as shown in Eq. 10:
For enhancive input of low line channel, the data stream generated to perform higher order of inter dependency for running streams over a network, thus Eq. 10 is final stream equation for compressed images bytes under transmission.
3.2 Standardization of textural medical data
Textural medical data includes EEG text file, electronics health records (EHR) and log files. The textural data files or log files are interconverted files for accurate representation of medical information. The compression of textural patterns is possible with pre-processing under neural network framework. The remote data under diagnosis is compiled with data signal (DS), data value (DV) and data text (DT) for each represented under universal set (D).
The signal regeneration from text file is processed with input dataset (D) from signal of textural file under alpha-numeric values (S), such that the signal on regeneration reflects the feature data as demonstrated in Eq. 11:
The signal regeneration is supported with four layer optimization and summarization of Eq. 11 can be represented as Eq. 12:
where (Si) is the signal element from textural data with time interval (t) over the attribute universal set (A). During the tenure of processing, the attribute set (A) is unfreezing. Thus the layered summarized compressed signal is represented in Eq. 13:
where ϕ is added noise of signal compression. Thus, the optimized signal over clustering using KNN framed as represented in Eq. 14:
Thus Eq. 15, summarizes the potential clustering with respect to feature set (FT). The appending clustered data to form compressed code for transmission is shown in Eq. 16 for data frame of texture (FD)T:
where ‘HT’ is the Huffman coding for textural clusters as computed in Eq. 17. Thus on freezing with time interval (t) the summarized representation is shown in Eq. 18:
Thus, substituting ‘HT’ in Eq. 16, the optimization is as follows:
Thus, Eq. 21 represents consolidated frame generation equation for textural medical data towards the low line transmission channel under telemedicine environment.
3.3 Standardization of biomedical audio signal data
Biomedical Audio signals are retrieved on sound waves and radio waves for communication. Typically, heart sounds, inter-organ vibrations and observatory sounds of human body is collected and processed under low line channel of MooM technique. For telemedicine processing framework, the heart sounds are collected via remote mobile phones under programmed microphones unit known as phonocardiograhic signals (PCG). A detailed review is subjected in for processing and compression of PCG signals for low line transmission channel.
Consider signal (PS) as incoming and feeder signal for processing, such that, a sequential pattern of similar objects are extracted and named as MOTIFS (M) which is collision set of M = {M1, M2 … Mn} where, Mi is a generated MOTIF pattern from Eq. 22:
where ΔN is neutralization constant with (ϕx) MOTIF pattern of ϕ similarity ratio at xth occurrence of medical pattern. Thus, compression of signal is carried out on extracted Motif (M) such as demonstrated in Eq. 23:
where St is processed signal and Sn is occurred signal for given input (PS) accurate at frequency f(t), thus on inverse of DWT, Eqs. 24 and 25 is generated for optimized transmission range and channel bandwidth:
On retrieved MOTIF patterns of PS from Eq. 25, a classification of dataset is initiated to optimize the compressed signal according to Eq. 16 with an initialization of (FrameData)Signal → (FD)S. Thus, expanding the classification patterns according, Eq. 26 is generated via Eq. 16 (Ci) is replaced by PS:
Thus, on expansion of each with respect to Eq. 24, a summarization is projected in Eq. 27:
In order to expand the signal, Huffman code generates signal standardization from Eq. 17; a follow-up could be taken towards signals freezing with respect to MOTIF pattern (Mt):
Thus, on freezing the outcome, integrated system can be represented in Eq. 29 with respect to interval (t):
On expansion of Eq. 27 with Eq. 29, the representation is as follows:
On re-substitution for access free representation of data, Eq. 30 is processed as follows:
On simplification, the data signal \((P_{S} )_{i}\) can be repressed and updated from Eq. 32 to 33:
Equation 33 is processed form of signal acquired under a MOTIF pattern for given instance of (t) with respect to sample length of biomedical signal.
3.4 Medical data evaluation using MooM technique
From Eqs. 10, 21 and 33 a fundamental data framing is achieved for a given medical datasets under multi-objective and multi-dimensional format. Under MooM processing technique, the evaluation is processed to achieve a single frame of data with auto-calibration for channels.
Consider the channel (Ch) under low line communication for bandwidth (λ) on intervals of processing time (t). Thus a frame (FD) is the combination of multi-objective data i.e. (FD) = {(FD)I U (FD)T U (FD)S} and {(FD)αCh(λ)} where, λA is channels available bandwidth. Thus, on available range, the resource of transmission is allocated.
4 Results and discussions
MooM data processing technique has successfully retrieved a higher order of data accuracy and on-channel bit stream accuracy as discussed in Table 1, the overall focus of research is towards creating a standard line of operation (SLO) for developing countries network model. The study has demonstrated series of independent experiments from section of methodology, thus retrieves recovery ratio over a low line communication channel.
The proposed technique of standardization of medical dataset is done with respect to three trivial approaches as discussed and thus, Fig. 2 provides a relative standardization of medical images. Towards, experimentation, the dataset considered is either of MRI, PET or CT in its original format of computation. Thus, Fig. 3 provides a signal to noise ratio and error analysis for the processed medical image datasets. Figures 4, 5 and 6 is EEG and PCG based signal evaluation paradigms, the details analysis of process is studied and discussed in Ahmed et al. (2019b)
.
