Gait Biomarkers Classification by Combining Assembled Algorithms and Deep Learning: Results of a Local Study

Machine learning, one of the core disciplines of artificial intelligence, is an approach whose main emphasis is analytical model building. In other words, machine learning enables an automaton to make its own decisions based on a previous training process. Machine learning has revolutionized every research sector, including health care, by providing precise and accurate decisions involving minimal human interventions through pattern recognition. -is is emphasized in this research, which addresses the issue of “support for diabetic neuropathy (DN) recognition.” DN is a disease that affects a large proportion of the global population. In this research, we have used gait biomarkers of subjects representing a particular sector of population located in southern Mexico to identify persons suffering from DN. To do this, we used a home-made body sensor network to capture raw data of the walking pattern of individuals with and without DN. -e information was then processed using three sampling criteria and 23 assembled classifiers, in combination with a deep learning algorithm. -e architecture of the best combination was chosen and reconfigured for better performance. -e results revealed a highly acceptable classification with greater than 85% accuracy when using these combined approaches.
