The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Complex Systems

Abstract:

Current methods for diagnosing PAD require specialized vascular laboratory tests and do not allow natural environment detection, monitoring, or management of chronic PAD disease. The research goal of this application is to understand and classify human gait signatures for patients with PAD using ML algorithms. Gait analysis has proven to be important for the determination of the mechanisms and severity of functional limitations, the measurement of treatment effectiveness, and the monitoring of the progression of chronic diseases. Recent advances in wearable sensor technology have enabled continuous and detailed measurement of the movement of patients in their natural environments. Researchers have begun to extract gait features that characterize specific chronic conditions or indicate a clinically significant change in the movement characteristics of a patient.
