A Model for Using Physiological Conditions for Proactive Tourist Recommendations
Mobile proactive tourist recommender systems can support tourists by
recommending the best choice depending on different contexts related to herself
and the environment. In this paper, we propose to utilize wearable sensors to
gather health information about a tourist and use them for recommending tourist
activities. We discuss a range of wearable devices, sensors to infer
physiological conditions of the users, and exemplify the feasibility using a
popular self-quantification mobile app. Our main contribution then comprises a
data model to derive relations between the parameters measured by the wearable
sensors, such as heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and use them to
infer the physiological condition of a user. This model can then be used to
derive classes of tourist activities that determine which items should be
recommended

The Computational Diet: A Review of Computational Methods Across Diet, Microbiome, and Health.
Food and human health are inextricably linked. As such, revolutionary impacts on health have been derived from advances in the production and distribution of food relating to food safety and fortification with micronutrients. During the past two decades, it has become apparent that the human microbiome has the potential to modulate health, including in ways that may be related to diet and the composition of specific foods. Despite the excitement and potential surrounding this area, the complexity of the gut microbiome, the chemical composition of food, and their interplay in situ remains a daunting task to fully understand. However, recent advances in high-throughput sequencing, metabolomics profiling, compositional analysis of food, and the emergence of electronic health records provide new sources of data that can contribute to addressing this challenge. Computational science will play an essential role in this effort as it will provide the foundation to integrate these data layers and derive insights capable of revealing and understanding the complex interactions between diet, gut microbiome, and health. Here, we review the current knowledge on diet-health-gut microbiota, relevant data sources, bioinformatics tools, machine learning capabilities, as well as the intellectual property and legislative regulatory landscape. We provide guidance on employing machine learning and data analytics, identify gaps in current methods, and describe new scenarios to be unlocked in the next few years in the context of current knowledge

INTEGRATION OF INTERNET OF THINGS AND HEALTH RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a part of our lives and has provided many enhancements to day-to-day living. In this project, IoT in healthcare is reviewed. IoT-based healthcare is utilized in remote health monitoring, observing chronic diseases, individual fitness programs, helping the elderly, and many other healthcare fields. There are three main architectures of smart IoT healthcare: Three-Layer Architecture, Service-Oriented Based Architecture (SoA), and The Middleware-Based IoT Architecture. Depending on the required services, different IoT architecture are being used. In addition, IoT healthcare services, IoT healthcare service enablers, IoT healthcare applications, and IoT healthcare services focusing on Smartwatch are presented in this research. Along with IoT in smart healthcare, Health Recommender Systems integration with IoT is important. Main Recommender Systems including Content-based filtering, Collaborative-based filtering, Knowledge-based filtering, and Hybrid filtering with machine learning algorithms are described for the Health Recommender Systems. In this study, a framework is presented for the IoT-based Health Recommender Systems. Also, a case is investigated on how different algorithms can be used for Recommender Systems and their accuracy levels are presented. Such a framework can help with the health issues, for example, risk of going to see the doctor during pandemic, taking quick actions in any health emergencies, affordability of healthcare services, and enhancing the personal lifestyle using recommendations in non-critical conditions. The proposed framework can necessitate further development of IoT-based Health Recommender Systems so that people can mitigate their medical emergencies and live a healthy life
Prescription Based Recommender System for Diabetic Patients Using Efficient Map Reduce
Healthcare sector has been deprived of leveraging knowledge gained through data insights, due to manual processes and legacy record-keeping methods. Outdated methods for maintaining healthcare records have not been proven sufficient for treating chronic diseases like diabetes. Data analysis methods such as Recommendation System (RS) can serve as a boon for treating diabetes. RS leverages predictive analysis and provides clinicians with information needed to determine the treatments to patients. Prescription-based Health Recommender System (HRS) is proposed in this paper which aids in recommending treatments by learning from the treatments prescribed to other patients diagnosed with diabetes. An Advanced Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) clustering is also proposed to cluster the data for deriving recommendations by using winnowing algorithm as a similarity measure. A parallel processing of data is applied using map-reduce to increase the efficiency & scalability of clustering process for effective treatment of diabetes. This paper provides a good picture of how the Map Reduce can benefit in increasing the efficiency and scalability of the HRS using clustering
Evolutionary Approach for Building, Exploring and Recommending Complex Items With Application in Nutritional Interventions
Over the last few years, the ability of recommender systems to help us in different environments
has been increasing. Several systems try to offer solutions in highly complex environments such as nutrition,
housing, or traveling. In this paper, we present a recommendation system capable of using different
input sources (data and knowledge-based) and producing a complex structured output. We have used an
evolutionary approach to combine several unitary items within a flexible structure and have built an initial
set of complex configurable items. Then, a content-based approach refines (in terms of preferences) these
candidates to offer a final recommendation.We conclude with the application of this approach to the healthy
diet recommendation problem, addressing its strengths in this domain.Over the last few years, the ability of recommender systems to help us in different environments

Explainable Active Learning for Preference Elicitation
Gaining insights into the preferences of new users and subsequently
personalizing recommendations necessitate managing user interactions
intelligently, namely, posing pertinent questions to elicit valuable
information effectively. In this study, our focus is on a specific scenario of
the cold-start problem, where the recommendation system lacks adequate user
presence or access to other users' data is restricted, obstructing employing
user profiling methods utilizing existing data in the system. We employ Active
Learning (AL) to solve the addressed problem with the objective of maximizing
information acquisition with minimal user effort. AL operates for selecting
informative data from a large unlabeled set to inquire an oracle to label them
and eventually updating a machine learning (ML) model. We operate AL in an
integrated process of unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised ML within
an explanatory preference elicitation process. It harvests user feedback (given
for the system's explanations on the presented items) over informative samples
to update an underlying ML model estimating user preferences. The designed user
interaction facilitates personalizing the system by incorporating user feedback
into the ML model and also enhances user trust by refining the system's
explanations on recommendations. We implement the proposed preference
elicitation methodology for food recommendation. We conducted human experiments
to assess its efficacy in the short term and also experimented with several AL
strategies over synthetic user profiles that we created for two food datasets,
aiming for long-term performance analysis. The experimental results demonstrate
the efficiency of the proposed preference elicitation with limited user-labeled
data while also enhancing user trust through accurate explanations.Comment: Preprin
Realizing an Efficient IoMT-Assisted Patient Diet Recommendation System Through Machine Learning Model
Recent studies have shown that robust diets recommended to patients by Dietician or an Artificial Intelligent automated medical diet based cloud system can increase longevity, protect against further disease, and improve the overall quality of life. However, medical personnel are yet to fully understand patient-dietician’s rationale of recommender system. This paper proposes a deep learning solution for health base medical dataset that automatically detects which food should be given to which patient base on the disease and other features like age, gender, weight, calories, protein, fat, sodium, fiber, cholesterol. This research framework is focused on implementing both machine and deep learning algorithms like, logistic regression, naive bayes, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The medical dataset collected through the internet and hospitals consists of 30 patient’s data with 13 features of different diseases and 1000 products. Product section has 8 features set. The features of these IoMT data were analyzed and further encoded before applying deep and machine and learning-based protocols. The performance of various machine learning and deep learning techniques was carried and the result proves that LSTM technique performs better than other scheme with respect to forecasting accuracy, recall, precision, and -measures. We achieved 97.74% accuracy using LSTM deep learning model. Similarly 98% precision, 99% recall and -measure for allowed class is achieved, and for not-allowed class precision is 89%, recall score is 73% and Measure score is 80%
