Editorial – Health informatics and image processing
Wireless sensor networks are currently being employed in a variety of applications ranging from medical to military, and from home to industry Wireless Sensor Networks for medical Applications aims to provide a reference tool for the increasing number of scientists who depend upon reliable sensor networks. In this section, we are pleased to include eight state-of-the-art research papers on wireless sensor networks for medical applications. These papers cover the subject from different perspectives, thus, offering the readers a complete view of the different research challenges currently being considered by the medical research community. The paper by Suchethar et al., deliberates the comparative analysis of EMD based filtering methods for noise cancellation in ECG signal under 48–51 Hz of frequency under varying noise amplitudes. The experimental results demonstrated that EMD can be employed as an effective tool for denoising. These recovered signals provided high correlation values between the original and processed ECG signal and thereby yielded good visual quality. Latha et al. investigated the of balancing the emergency message dissemination and enhancing the network lifetime would serve as a tool for remote diagnosis and treatment of a patient by means of telecommunication technology. The author Aswathy and Jeganath discussed the applications of digital image processing techniques on histopathological images for the detection of breast cancer and discusses its future possibilities. This review aims at complementing the effort of pathologists, in examining and analyzing biopsy samples, by computer aided
techniques. This study is an endeavor to point out recent development in breast cancer detection and classification and gives an outlook on efficiency, authenticity and accuracy of different techniques. The author Muthamilselvan et al., investigate the semantic rich ontology construction and similarity computation for e-health. The authors use simulated annealing and fruitfly optimization algorithm algorithms to select he load balancing in cloud environments for electronic health records investigated by Krishnamoorthy et al., The author Karthiswaran et al., discussed the sequential and parallel data decomposition strategies implemented on a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based Artificial Neural Network (PSO-ANN) weights optimization for image reconstruction. The author Priya et al., investigated the performance measures to handle Medical Ecommerce shopping cart abandonment in cloud. We look forward to the time when more researchers will come forward with newer ideas and use Informatics in medicine unlocked (IMU) as a forum for the exchange of ideas.
