A systematic review on artificial intelligence approaches for smart health devices.

In the context of smart health, the use of wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices is becoming increasingly popular to monitor and manage patients' health conditions in a more efficient and personalized way. However, choosing the most suitable artificial intelligence (AI) methodology to analyze the data collected by these devices is crucial to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of smart healthcare applications. Additionally, protecting the privacy and security of health data is an area of growing concern, given the sensitivity and personal nature of such information. In this context, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are emerging as successful technologies because they are suitable for application to advanced analysis and prediction of healthcare scenarios. Therefore, the objective of this work is to contribute to the current state of the literature by identifying challenges, best practices, and future opportunities in the field of smart health. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the AI methodologies used, the neural network architectures adopted, and the algorithms employed, as well as examine the privacy and security issues related to the management of health data collected by wearable IoT devices. Through this systematic review, we aim to offer practical guidelines for the design, development, and implementation of AI solutions in smart health, to improve the quality of care provided and promote patient well-being. To pursue our goal, several articles focusing on ML or DL network architectures were selected and reviewed. The final discussion highlights research gaps yet to be investigated, as well as the drawbacks and vulnerabilities of existing IoT applications in smart healthcare.
