Cucumber disease recognition using machine learning and transfer learningriyaniaes
Cucumber is grown, as a cash crop besides it is one of the main and popular vegetables in Bangladesh. As Bangladesh's economy is largely dependent on the agricultural sector, cucumber farming could make economic and productivity growth more sustainable. But many diseases diminish the situation of cucumber. Early detection of disease can help to stop disease from spreading to other healthy plants and also accurate identifying the disease will help to reduce crop losses through specific treatments. In this paper, we have presented two approaches namely traditional machine learning (ML) and CNN-based transfer learning. Then we have compared the performance of the applied techniques to find out the most appropriate techniques for recognizing cucumber diseases. In our ML approach, the system involves five steps. After collecting the image, pre-processing is done by resizing, filtering, and contrast-enhancing. Then we have compared various ML algorithms using k-means based image segmentation after extracted 10 relevant features. Random forest gives the best accuracy with 89.93% in the traditional ML approach. We also studied and applied CNN-based transfer learning to investigate the further improvement of recognition performance. Lastly, a comparison among various transfer learning models such as InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, and VGG16 has been performed. Between these two approaches, MobileNetV2 achieves the highest accuracy with 93.23%.

The Complexity and Evolving Technologies of the Healthcare Industry
The healthcare industry as we know it is constantly evolving and growing exponentially every year for many reasons, such as regulation changes from federal and state agencies, changes to coverage from health insurance companies, illness trends, developments in medicine, and demographics of medical staff. Two of the most important reasons are due to the evolving medical needs of patients and the advancements in technology that provide viable options to these patients in need. These technology advancements in the healthcare arena has generated interest from cybercriminals. Cybercriminals have no preference in whom they target if they can gain profit or cause a negative impact to the end user(s). When these vulnerabilities are discovered and attacks occur in the healthcare industry, it could literally mean the difference between life and death for patients. This critical outcome has created a high demand for cybersecurity and technical personnel in this industry to implement them. Three of the top trends in the healthcare industry as it relates to cybersecurity are the increased dangers of 3D printing in medicine, revolution of big data and advanced analytics in the healthcare system, and Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing as a security threat to healthcare. This paper will focus on the complexity of the healthcare industry and how transitioning to the Internet of Things and cloud computing has created a large security threat to all medical practices around the world.
Top Trends of the Healthcare Industry
Technologists and companies around the world have embraced the importance and endless possibilities of 3D printing (NAICS 323111). 3D printing is a manufacturing process that creates a three dimensional object by incrementally adding material until the object is complete (this contrasts with subtractive manufacturing techniques such as carving or milling, in which an object is created by selectively removing parts from a piece of raw material) (Lacoma, 2018). Many manufacturing companies first began using 3D printing to resolve some of their most difficult problems and improve the efficiency of their processes. The healthcare industry began to take notice and medical experts began developing ideas on how this technology could be implemented in their medical practices. 3D printing in healthcare makes it possible for medical professionals to provide patients with a new form of treatment in several ways. 3D printing is used for the development of new surgical cutting and drill guides, prosthetics as well as the creation of patient-specific replicas of bones, organs, and blood vessels (Izukor, 2019).
Although the benefits of using this technology in medicine are endless, the process has created a height.

As the largest health care workforce group, nurses are well suit.docxbob8allen25075
As the largest health care workforce group, nurses are well suited to collaborate with other team members in the clinical work for an effective healthcare delivery (Matthys, Remmen, & Van Bogaert, 2017).
Collaboration is multidimensional and can occur in both face-to-face encounters and electronically for exchange of views and ideas. Collaboration is a planned or an unplanned engagement that takes place between individuals or teams of individuals, whether in-person or mediated by technology, where information is exchanged in some way (either explicitly, i.e. verbally or written, or implicitly, i.e. through shared understanding of gestures, emotions, etc.), and often occur across different roles (i.e. physician and nurse) to deliver patient care (Weir, 2011).
With reference to health informatics, a systematic review of literature, (Eikey, Reddy, & Kuziemsky, 2015), methods of collaborative work in health setting include telemedicine application, EMR, HER, EPR, CPOE, mobile technology, (PDAs, pagers, mobile phones), Web 2.0 applications, internet, online health communities, picture archives, and communication system, medicine dispensing devices and barcode systems, HIT and any other specific application. The authors further presented the "collaboration space model", to help researchers study collaboration and technology in healthcare.
In my healthcare setting, we use several health informatics methods such as pagers, mobile phones, communication system, medicine dispensing devices and barcode systems, but one that has been much applauded during this COVID 19 era is Telemedicine. I work in a psych/detox hospital.
We found telemedicine very relevant based on research results indicating that people with mental health problems are twice more likely to be frequent users of hospital emergency departments (Hunt, Weber, Showstack, Colby, & Callaham, 2006). The use of the emergency department for routine clinical care poses a huge strain on the health system because of the high cost of treatment, restricting use of the emergency department for admission of patients who really require admissions. This is also because of the associated complexity and pressure to admit patients for inpatient care (Institute of Medicine (U.S.), 2007).
Recent technological advancements have led to easy access to videoconferencing utilizing personal computers or tablets. A few research work has also been carried out using telemedicine. Patients are encouraged to check their vital signs using personal devices. Also, the introduction of asynchronous store-and-forward approaches enable clinicians review their patient without direct interaction. Also, telehomecare enables clinicians monitor their patients in their own homes (Yellowlees et al., 2010). Telepsychiatry aims to improve quality of care to patients and reduce costs in three ways: it will carry out assessment at a distance, the specialist will be able to provide emergency department doctors opinion on complex c.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Abstract
Technological intervention that supports data transfer of sending summary of the patient vitals
through the transfer of care would be a great benefit to the trauma care department. This
paperfocuses on presenting the effectiveness of information presentation on using wearable
augmented reality devices to improve human decision making during transfer of care for
surgicaltrauma, and to improve user experience and reduce cognitive workload. The results of
this experiment can make significant contributions to design guidelines for information
presentation on small form factors especially in time critical decision-making scenarios.This could
potentially help medical responders in the trauma care center to prepare for treatment materials
such asmedicines, diagnostic procedures, bringing in specialized doctors or consulting the advice
of experienced doctors and calling in support staff as required, and so on.
Keywords: Transfer of Care, Wearable Augmented Reality, Information Presentation, Usability.
1. INTRODUCTION
Small screen devices are foreseen as ubiquitous in the medical field especially in the fields of
surgery and trauma care (Glauser, W., 2013). In this era, where the Internet of Things (IoT) is
believed to be the future, augmented reality allows interaction between the digital and real world.
It can deliver rich and meaningful digital overlay on the real world. The abilities of this technology
are well identified and research is being done in different domains such as education, medicine,
aviation, and so on (Schmidt, G. W., & Osborn, D. B., 1995; Casey, C. J., 1999, Szalavári, Z.,
Eckstein, E., &Gervautz, M., 1998; Casey, C. J., & Melzer, J. E., 1991; Foote, B. D., 1998). The
purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of information complexity and mental workload
on trauma care providers/surgeons during emergency response scenarios for augmented display
devices. Using heads-up displays for medical responders in hospital trauma care can optimize
the communication channel and information flow. Wearable devices such asGoogle Glass™,
being a small form factor, poses challenges in presenting information in such a small screen and
at the same time making sure that there is no cognitive overload for the user. Other challenges in
small form factor devices include low information density that can influence the user’s readability
and optimum navigation to access the different features of the applications. Previous study by Ho
et. al. (2016), found that when the interface was less cluttered and left justified it resulted in better
legibility.

2. BACKGROUND
2.1 Transfer of Care
Trauma surgeons treat patient injuries which include falls, motor vehicle crashes, motorcycle
crashes, assaults, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, burns, and so on.
Once a trauma case is reported, the information reaches the emergency team in the hospital and
then air and ground transfer are assigned according to what was asked by the person who
reports at the scene. The first responder on scene decides the urgency of care required and; the
present emergency response protocols involve the information sent by first responders to the
most appropriate trauma center around. The first responders provide a brief summary of what
they observed on the ground such as: vital signs that they manually noted, pictures taken, any
changes in vitals during the transport, any signs of pain in the patient’s body, any kind of care
given during transport, the type of incident that had been reported by witnesses, and the duration
of transport. Patient evaluation is done by assessing the scenario, severity of injury, the first
responder's knowledge repository, and emergency protocol(Shen & Shaw, 2004). Quality and
timely organization of treatment during transfer of care is given by prioritizing patients based on
severity of their injuries. The trauma center receives the updates only when the patient reaches
the emergency department. The present system is chaotic and requires a desperate need to
reduce response time(Carr et al., 2006). This would also require the transport vehicle (air or
ground) to be equipped with an appropriate sensor network and a medium to transfer data
smoothly to the trauma care center. Study suggests that air transfer is significantly faster than
ground transfer when it comes to distances greater than 50 miles but for distances less than 50
miles there is no significant difference(Diaz et al., 2005). Studies report different response times
like on scene arrival, on scene time and total response time (Frykberg& Tepas, 1988). Research
by Guise et al., (2015) states that EMS relies on the knowledge repository of the personnel on
clinical assessment, decision making, and so it would be important to add the doctor in the
training of the EMS personnel.
Mobile health monitoring systems have been used extensively for triage purposes. Van Halteren
et al. (2004) developed MobiHealth System which explains the different pros and cons of wireless
network transmission of patients’ vitals data. The system can support sensors and is connected
through a body area network.
2.2 Information Presentation
In spite of the growing adoption of wearable devices, there is a lack of research on user interface
design solutions to enable successful multitasking without information overload. Information can
be classified into several categories such as text information, picture information, and sound
information. In the case of text information, past research highlights the importance of information
being presented in the right place at the right time. Information presentation has been used to
study complex task decision making (Speier, 2006) and in mobile phone form factor (Ganapathy
et al., 2011). Resultsfrom previous studies suggest that the relationship between information
presentation format and decision making is moderated by the task complexity. Technological
intervention that supports data transfer, in this case sending vitals from the patients during the
transfer of care, would be a great benefit to the trauma care department. This would help the
medical responder, in the trauma care center, to prepare the necessary treatment materials like
medicine, diagnostic procedures, bringing in specialized doctors, obtaining consultation from
experienced doctors, and calling in support staff if required.
2.3 Visual Search
Information presented in the wearable augmented reality devices involves activities such as
browsing, text messaging, route navigation, reading and gaming. All these activities involve visual
search that helps the user find the information they require. Hasegawa et al. (2008) found by
subjective evaluation that increasing character sizes (2.5 mm, 2mm and 1 mm in height) resulted
in an increase in legibility in computer screens and there was no significant difference in search
speed for the different character sizes. Van Schaik& Ling(2001) studied the effects of background
contrast on visual search performance in web pages and mobile devices, and they did not find

ISSN: 2180-1320, https://www.cscjournals.org/journals/IJHCI/description.php 3
any significant difference in performance. To measure mobile user information processing
abilities while walking, a conventional serial visual search paradigm was used. Participants were
instructed to search for a target (“T” shape) among distractors (“L” shapes) in different rotated
orientations. They reported that the presence vs. absence of an irrelevant color singleton
distractor in a visual search task was not only associated with activity in the superior parietal
cortex, in line with attentional capture, but was also associated with frontal cortex activity (Eglin et
al., 1991).
2.4 Wearable Technology
Previous studies related to users’ attitude towards devices such as google glass shows that there
are some concerns related to privacy and there is a curiosity towards access to information right
then and there (Xu et. al, 2015). Google Glass has an optical head-mounted display, resembling
eyeglasses; it displays information in a Smartphone-like manner, but provides a hands-free
format that is controlled via voice commands and touch.The device is a wearable mobile
computing device with Bluetooth connectivity to wireless internet access.The Glass display of 640
x 360 pixels rests above the line of sight such that the user’s vision is not interrupted. The device
comes with a storage of 16GB and 1GB RAM of memory. Applications for the device are
developed on Android version 4.4. The device includes the following features: real time hands
free notification, hands-free visual and audio instructions, instant connectivity access, instant
photography/videography, augmented reality.
The potential medical dangers of head-mounted displays have been documented by Patterson et
al. (2006)and include: decreased awareness of physical surroundings, visual interference,
binocular rivalry with latent misalignment of eyes and headaches. The authors performed intense
tasks on the device and noted that the surface temperature rises by 90% in 10 minutes of usage.
3. METHODS
The primary objective of this study was to a) explore how wearable augmented reality devices,
such as Google Glass, can improve human decision making during transfer of care and b)
understand the design of information presentation on the wearable augmented reality device to
improve user experience, reduce cognitive workload and aid decision making. Hence an empirical
study was conducted to support the hypotheses. The experiment was designed to be tested on a
Google Glass as the wearable device. The pool of participants included physicians and residents
from the Department of Trauma and Surgery, Boonshoft School of Medicine, Miami Valley
Hospital, Wright State University, Dayton. Six residents (three junior and three senior)
participated as novice and six physicians as residents. The experiment was divided into two parts
– visual search task and patient vitals simulation task.
• Visual Search Task: This included testing participants with a visual search task for
addressing the research question of how the design of information presentation on the
wearable augmented reality device improves user experience, reduces cognitive
workload and aids decision making.
• Patient Vitals Simulation: This included testing participants on multi-tasking and viewing
streaming patient vitals data and decision- making. The participants were asked to take
ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) as the secondary task.
Fig.1, shows the experiment setup as the participant was viewing the stimuli. EEG data was
collected through the Emotiv device to understand the brain response to visual search tasks as
the stimuli was presented.

3.1 STIMULI
The system was designed based on Android Google Glass design guidelines (Google
developers, 2015). The user interface design elements in the patient vitals simulation was
developed after assessing and prioritizing the triage information by observing various patient
monitoring tools in the trauma care department. Triage information was verified and evaluated by
experts and the software was developed using Android Studio for Android version 19. The system
design for the mobile interface was based on a flat navigation hierarchy with three levels of
display as shown in Fig.4. The Navigation Design includes three different levels of information
presentation.
a) Home screen: Home screen is the first screen users will see when launching the app.

applications in the device. Users need to select on the Patient Vitals app or the Visual
Search task app depending on the experiment.
c) App page: Detail Pages are the third level of the Application. In the case of patient vitals
application the details of each patient was presented. If any component has active
criticality, the color of the component tile will change to yellow or red; yellow indicating
low criticality and red indicating high criticality. The visual search task included presenting
the first slide and the user navigating to the next screen by swiping or tapping.

3.2 Experimental Design and Procedures
Participants were introduced to the Google Glass device and were trained on the different
gestures, which could be used to operate it, navigate between and within the applications. The
training modules were untimed sessions and participants were encouraged to practice until they
were familiar with the system. Familiarity was based on a subjective measurement of the
participant’s level of comfort in interacting with the interface and successful completion of a
scenario similar to the testing scenarios.
3.2.1 Patient Vitals Simulation
The experiment conducted was a repeated measures design, with two within-subjects
independent variables: type of User Interface (UI1 vs. UI2 vs. UI3) and frequency of data
visualization (2 seconds vs. 6 seconds). The experiment was counterbalanced using Latin square
with respect to the order of scenarios being tested and the type of system. Twelve different
scenarios were tested to collect the appropriate metrics across the three different UIs and the two
data visualization frequencies. All the scenarios involved monitoring the vital signs and user
responses. All scenarios were presented with a summary for 8 seconds and patient vitals for 30
seconds. The scenarios were developed from observing emergency scenarios in Miami Valley
hospital, Dayton and were evaluated by subject matter experts.

3.2.5 Visual Search Task
The experiment conducted was a repeated measures design, with four within-subjects
independent variables: target and distractor color (Monochromatic vs. Polychromatic), size of the
font (Large vs. Small), position of the target (Right half vs. Left half of the screen) and area in
which the target is present (Inner vs. Outer area). The Google Glass screen displayed the target
“T” shape in either of the two orientations; the top of the “T” shape faced either right or left. There
were multiple “L” shapes as distractors in four different orientations; the top of the “L” shapes
faced top, right, bottom, and left. Every slide had one target and 23 distractors in a 4 by 6 grid
screen.

3.3 Dependent Measures and Analysis
3.3.1 Patient Vitals Simulation
In order to evaluate the performance of the system several measures such as cognitive workload,
ease of use, and performance times were collected. NASA TLX was used to measure the
cognitive workload of the participants when performing a task and is an aggregate of six
subscales: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort and
frustration (Hart &Staveland, 1988). Ease of use was measured using System Usability Scale
(SUS) score. SUS provides a quick reliable tool to measure usability and learnability. It consists
of a standardized ten item questionnaire with five response options. SUS was followed by a
general questionnaire about the performance index of the device, application and the user
interface. Performance time was measured using a stopwatch to measure the time taken by the
participant to respond to each of the scenarios. This was calculated using the difference in the
time taken by the participant to start writing their response and the time when the patient vitals
scenario started. ATLS test response was collected to see the number of questions answered by
the participants. This would help in evaluating the multitasking ability while using the augmented
wearable device.
3.3.2 Visual Search Task
In order to evaluate the performance of the system a general questionnaire was used to evaluate
the user interface design elements and the response time was collected using a stopwatch to
measure the time taken by the participant to find the target in a particular slide. This was

calculated using the difference between the time when the participant taps/swipes after finding
the target from the current slide and the previous slide.
4. RESULTS
Results indicate that there was significant difference in the response time for doctors and
residents (F (5,141), p-value < 0.001, ηp2= 0.031).There was no significant difference in
response time for the different user interfaces and there was no interaction effect. Mean response
time and standard deviation were 12.027 sec and 3.406 sec for doctors and 14.43 sec and 4.949
sec for residents. The mean response times with respect to the user interface were 13.6 sec for
UI1, 13.31 sec for UI2 and 12.77 sec for UI3 with standard deviation of 4.59 sec, 4.34 sec and
4.31 sec respectively. When residents were further analyzed based on their experience, the
response time was significantly different for Junior residents when compared to Senior residents
and doctors (F (2,141), p-value < 0.001, ηp2= 0.211) Mean response time and standard deviation
were 12.027 sec and 3.406 sec for doctors, 16.722 sec and 4.79 sec for junior residents and
12.139 sec and 3.994 sec for senior residents.
FIGURE 9: Average response time with respect to experience.
Analyzing the number of questions answered in the ATLS test, we found that there was no
significant difference between doctors and residents in the number of questions answered. The
mean number of questions answered was 4.5 by doctors, 3.67 by senior residents and 1 by junior
residents.There was no significant difference in response time for the UI elements; color, size,
left/right half of the screen and inner/ outer area of the screen, and there was no interaction
effect.

The following chart shows the difference in brain signal amplitude averaged for doctors and
residents in terms of microvolts. The table shows a comparison of these microvolt values against
the respective channels.
FIGURE 11: Average electric data in microvolts against each EEG channel.
The EEG heat map, Figure 12 and 13, shows activity in the brain color coded ranging from red to
blue, where the area marked in red is where the brain was most active and the area marked in
blue is where it was least active. The figure shows that there were two areas of the brain that
were most active for the visual search task. Figure 12 shows the brain activity of a participant
whose temporal region of the brain was active. Figure 13 shows that there was more activity in
both temporal and the frontal area of the brain.

5. DISCUSSION
Upon analyzing the patient vitals simulation data it was found that junior residents took a longer
time to process than when compared to senior residents and doctors. It is also evident from the
ATLS test that the average number of questions answered was less compared to senior residents
and doctors.
The user response shows that UI1 was comparatively better in the design of screen layout and
the optimum number of elements than UI3 and UI2. The difference in the screen layout between
UI1 and UI2 was the patient summary presentation which shows that the participants preferred
the summary above the vital signs over no summary at all. The difference in the number of
elements (Heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, etc.) in the screen is that UI1 has 4 and UI2
has 3. So, participants recognize that in the same screen space, when summary was presented
UI1 had more information presented on the screen and it did not affect the attention levels
compared to UI2.
For the visual search task it was found that there was no significant difference in size, color,
right/left position and inner/outer area of the screen but the response time was significantly less
for doctors than residents. However, the questionnaire results showed that monochromatic
search was easier than polychromatic search, and additionally the targets in the outer area were
easier to find when compared to targets in the inner area. This showed that participants visually
scanned the outer area first and then the inner area.
The EEG data showed that there was more activity in the T8 channel area which included the
temporal region as well as the temporal-parietal area and parietal area. Past research shows that
the superior parietal lobe was associated with visual search. Hence the use of augmented

devices for information presentation is useful for people such as surgeons who do multitasking
during patient monitoring. Results indicate that participants experienced discomfort using the
device and the application took less time to load. The users felt discomfort due to the heat
generated when the Google Glass was used for a long time (greater than 30minutes); which
included the learning phase before the experiment began. Future work should focus on
evaluating other wearable form factors.
6. CONCLUSION
This study analyzed cognitive stress by using EEG and compared with the perceived cognition
using NASA-TLX. By doing so this approach shows more insight into the trauma care physician’s
cognition. From the results, we can imply that wearable augmented display devices can enhance
visualization for emergency response without additional mental workload and aid in decision
making. Wearable augmented devices provide ubiquitous information especially in multitasking
scenarios where users can have access to information on an “as needed” basis. The mean
channel data shows that for residents the prefrontal area was active and all participants had
temporal cortex active. This shows that the participants were not under high stress or in other
words we can say that wearable augmented reality devices can aid human decision making
during transfer of care. Understand the design of information presentation on the wearable
augmented reality device to improve user experience and reduce cognitive workload. This study
showed that there is no significant difference in the different screen layouts which can help design
adaptive UI for emergency response. Adaptive UI shows relevant information based on the needs
and creates less confusion to new users.Using NASA-TLX for the user’s perceived cognition and
at the same time comparing it with brain signals give research insight and help developers in
designing future products. So future devices should use these evaluation techniques to move
towards better usability.
