Cognitive Intelligence for Monitoring Fractured Post-Surgery Ankle Activity Using Channel Information

In the past decades, cognitive computing and communication densely used in lots of networking areas. Current improvement in deep learning (DL) and big data analysis create great potential to analyze cognitive intelligence (CI) for many applications such as human activity monitoring and recognition through wireless communication. Cognitive intelligence and wireless communication are using to establish smart healthcare systems. Healthcare monitoring systems turn into interesting research subjects where monitoring post-operative surgical patients are the current focal point to the researcher. In this paper, we argue that deep learning along with the wireless communication technique introduces cognitive intelligence for the healthcare monitoring system. We present a deep learning based convolutional neural network (CNN) model to classify image data and a convenient and multi-functional software-defined radio (SDR) platform to detect movement of the ankle of patients who underwent ankle fracture surgery. Capturing wireless channel state information (WCSI) in the presence of the human body and classifying using CNN to observe distinct movements is the key idea of this study. A universal software radio peripheral (USRP) platform used to capture WCSI data and used for classification. AlexNet and ZFNet both are the famous architecture of CNN and used in a parallel way to classify captured WCSI-based images that converted from numeric data. The classification established on the ankles movements after surgery and classification results show that CNN provides satisfying results where test accuracy is 98.98%.
