COVID-19 Disease Prediction Using Weighted Ensemble Transfer Learning

Abstract

Health experts use advanced technological equipment to find complex diseases and diagnose them. Medical imaging nowadays is popular for detecting abnormalities in human bodies. This research discusses using the Internet of Medical Things in the COVID-19 crisis perspective. COVID-19 disease created an unforgettable remark on human memory. It is something like never happened before, and people do not expect it in the future. Medical experts are continuously working on getting a solution for this deadly disease. This pandemic warns the healthcare system to find an alternative solution to monitor the infected person remotely. Internet of Medical Things can be helpful in a pandemic scenario. This paper suggested a ensemble transfer learning framework predict COVID-19 infection. The model used the weighted transfer learning concept and predicted the COVID- 19 infected people with an F1-score of 0.997 for the best case on the test dataset.
