A Hybrid Predictive Ensemble of Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks for Early Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment

The paper presents a hybrid predictive ensemble that merges machine learning and deep neural network techniques to detect and prognosticate cardiovascular disease early. It processes real‑time physiological data from IoMT devices, applying preprocessing, feature selection, and optimized classifiers (SVM, Random Forest, XGBoost) within an ensemble architecture. The cloud‑based system achieves higher accuracy, fewer false positives, and consistent performance on real‑world datasets, supporting continuous patient monitoring and clinical decision support.

Transforming Heart Disease Prediction with Advanced Machine Learning Techniques

The study evaluates several machine‑learning classifiers for predicting heart disease using two public datasets, each with 14 health‑related attributes. Performance metrics such as MAE, RAE, accuracy, precision, recall, and F‑measure were used, revealing that SVM performed best on the UCI data while Simple Cart excelled on the Kaggle data. The authors conclude that well‑tuned ML models can aid early heart‑disease diagnosis and suggest future work on hybrid methods and newer datasets.

Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks for StrokePrediction: Towards Improved Diagnostic Accuracy

The paper presents an intelligent system that predicts stroke risk using eleven clinical features and evaluates seven supervised machine learning algorithms. Ensemble methods—Random Forest, Stacking Classifier, and Bagging Classifier—achieved the highest accuracies, reaching 99.52%, while other models such as KNN, TabNet, and a custom feedforward network also performed well. The study demonstrates that ensemble approaches are particularly effective for stroke classification tasks.

A Dataset and Benchmarks for Atrial Fibrillation Detection from Electrocardiograms of Intensive Care Unit Patients

The paper presents a new labelled ICU dataset and benchmarks for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) from electrocardiograms (ECGs). It compares three AI approaches—feature‑based classifiers, deep learning, and ECG foundation models—across Canadian ICU data and the 2021 PhysioNet challenge, finding that ECG foundation models with transfer learning achieve the highest F1 score (0.89). The study demonstrates the feasibility of automated AF monitoring in ICU settings and provides resources for further research.

On-Device Inference versus Wireless Streaming: Energy-Efficient Multi-Modal Deep Learning for Wearable Cardiovascular Patches

arXiv:2510. 18668v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable cardiovascular sensor patches promise continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, but their tight energy, memory, and compute budgets make it unclear whether physiological signals should be analyzed on the device or streamed to the cloud for processing.
