Almost 80 million Americans suffer from hair loss due to aging, stress, medication, or genetic makeup. Hair and scalp-related diseases often go unnoticed in the beginning. Sometimes, a patient cannot differentiate between hair loss and…
Farmers face several challenges when growing crops like uncertain irrigation, poor soil quality, etc. Especially in India, a major fraction of farmers do not have the knowledge to select appropriate crops and fertilizers. Moreover, crop…
While Evidence Theory (also known as Dempster-Shafer Theory, or Belief Functions Theory) is being increasingly used in data fusion, its potentialities in the Social and Life Sciences are often obscured by lack of awareness of its…
Falconry, a revered tradition involving the training and hunting with falcons, requires meticulous health surveillance to ensure the health and safety of these prized birds, particularly in hunting scenarios. This paper presents an…
Agriculture is an essential industry in the both society and economy of a country. However, the pests and diseases cause a great amount of reduction in agricultural production while there is not sufficient guidance for farmers to avoid this…
Depression commonly co-occurs with neurodegenerative disorders like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), yet the potential of speech-based Artificial Intelligence for detecting depression in such contexts remains unexplored. This study examines the…
Background: Lung disease is a significant health issue, particularly in children and elderly individuals. It often results from lung infections and is one of the leading causes of mortality in children. Globally, lung-related diseases claim…
As the global food security landscape continues to evolve, the need for accurate and reliable crop disease diagnosis has never been more pressing. To address global food security concerns, we extend the widely used PlantVillage dataset with…
Early detection of diseases in crops is essential to prevent harvest losses and improve the quality of the final product. In this context, the combination of machine learning and proximity sensors is emerging as a technique capable of…
Parkinson's disease (PD) has been found to affect 1 out of every 1000 people, being more inclined towards the population above 60 years. Leveraging wearable-systems to find accurate biomarkers for diagnosis has become the need of the hour,…
