A Data-Science Approach for Creation of a Comprehensive Model to Assess the Impact of Mobile Technologies on Humans

Abstract

Mobile technologies are an essential part of people’s everyday lives since they are utilized for a variety of purposes, such as communication, entertainment, commerce, and education. However, when these gadgets are misused, the human body is exposed to continuous radiation from the electromagnetic field created by them. The communication services available are improving as mobile technologies advance; however, the problem is becoming more severe as the frequency range of mobile devices expands. To solve this complex case, it is necessary to propose a comprehensive approach that combines and processes data obtained from different types of research and sources of information, such as thermal imaging, electroencephalograms, computer models, and surveys. In the present article, a complex model for the processing and analysis of heterogeneous data is proposed based on mathematical and statistical methods in order to study the problem of electromagnetic radiation from mobile devices in-depth. Data science selection/preprocessing is one of the most important aspects of data and knowledge processing aiming at successful and effective analysis and data fusion from many sources. Special types of logic-based binding and pointing constraints are considered for data/knowledge selection applications. The proposed logic-based statistical modeling method provides both algorithmic as well as data-driven realizations that can be evolutionary. As a result, non-anticipated and collateral data/features can be processed if their role in the selected/constrained area is significant. In this research, the data-driven part does not use artificial neural networks; however, this combination was successfully applied in the past. It is an independent subsystem maintaining control of both the statistical and machine-learning parts. The proposed modeling applies to a wide range of reasoning/smart systems.
