COVID-19 has imposed many challenges and barriers on traditional healthcare systems due to the high risk of being infected by the coronavirus. Modern electronic devices like smartphones with information technology can play an essential role in handling the current pandemic by contributing to different telemedical services. This study has focused on determining the presence of this virus by employing smartphone technology, as it is available to a large number of people. A publicly available COVID-19 dataset consisting of 33 features has been utilized to develop the aimed model, which can be collected from an in-house facility. The chosen dataset has 2.82% positive and 97.18% negative samples, demonstrating a high imbalance of class populations. The Adaptive Synthetic (ADASYN) has been applied to overcome the class imbalance problem with imbalanced data. Ten optimal features are chosen from the given 33 features, employing two different feature selection algorithms, such as Best and recursive feature elimination methods. Mainly, three classification schemes, Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), have been applied for the ablation studies, where the accuracy from the XGB, RF, and SVM classifiers achieved 97.91%, 97.81%, and 73.37%, respectively. As the XGB algorithm confers the best results, it has been implemented in designing the Android operating system base and web applications. By analyzing 10 users' questionnaires, the developed expert system can predict the presence of COVID-19 in the human body of the primary suspect. The preprocessed data and codes are available on the GitHub repository.
由于感染冠状病毒的风险很高,新冠疫情给传统医疗系统带来了诸多挑战和障碍。像配备信息技术的智能手机这样的现代电子设备,通过为不同的远程医疗服务做出贡献,在应对当前疫情中可以发挥重要作用。本研究聚焦于利用智能手机技术来确定这种病毒的存在,因为大量人群都拥有智能手机。一个由33个特征组成的公开可用的新冠数据集被用于开发目标模型,该数据集可从内部设施收集。所选数据集有2.82%的阳性样本和97.18%的阴性样本,显示出类别总体的高度不平衡。自适应合成(ADASYN)方法已被应用于解决不平衡数据的类别不平衡问题。从给定的33个特征中选择了10个最优特征,采用了两种不同的特征选择算法,如最佳和递归特征消除方法。主要地,三种分类方案,即随机森林(RF)、极端梯度提升(XGB)和支持向量机(SVM),已被用于消融研究,其中XGB、RF和SVM分类器的准确率分别达到了97.91%、97.81%和73.37%。由于XGB算法取得了最佳结果,它已被用于设计基于安卓操作系统的应用程序和网络应用程序。通过分析10份用户问卷,所开发的专家系统能够预测主要嫌疑人身体中是否存在新冠病毒。预处理后的数据和代码可在GitHub代码库上获取。
