    Autonomous Water Quality Monitoring: Integrating UWB Ad-Hoc Networks, Sensor Calibration, and Kubernetes Cloud Architecture
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2025) Tharindu, K; Abeysinghe, M; Karunarathne, S; Dilshan, K; Primal, D; Jayakody, A
    Water quality monitoring plays a critical role in ensuring environmental sustainability and public health. Traditional methods, while accurate, are time-consuming and lack the ability to provide real-time insights. This study proposes a secure, scalable IoT-based solution utilizing autonomous sensor-equipped boats designed to measure pH, turbidity, and temperature in aquatic environments. The boats navigate predefined grid coordinates generated through a Python-based script and communicate data using UWB in a decentralized ad hoc network operating under the AODV routing protocol. Preprocessed sensor data is transmitted to a base station and securely forwarded to a Kubernetes-based cloud infrastructure for real-time processing and visualization. Communication between the base station and cloud services is secured using HTTPS/TLS encryption. Experimental trials confirm reliable navigation, high sensor accuracy, low latency, and robust security. The system remains cloud-agnostic and is compatible with a range of open-source Kubernetes distributions, enabling deployment flexibility across various environments. This research demonstrates an effective, autonomous approach to real-time water quality monitoring, advancing scalable and sustainable environmental management

    As digital evidence increasingly growing in significance in healthcare forensics, safeguarding sensitive medical data's confidentiality, integrity, and limited access remains to be an important issue. Existing forensic evidence management systems are subject to data breaches and illegal access since they frequently lack significant privacy-preserving measures. In order to overcome such challenges, this research suggests a Blockchain-Based Custody Evidence Management System for Healthcare Forensics, which combines blockchain technology, machine learning, and encryption methods to improve security, privacy, and accessibility. To ensure accurate and efficient gathering of information, machine learning algorithms are used to extract handwritten and printed text from medical photographs. AES encryption ensures safe storage, while Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is used for dynamic access level control to protect gathered evidence. Identity verification is made possible via a web-based authentication system that uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to protect privacy by preventing the disclosure of personal data. By preventing unintended modifications, blockchain technology is used to preserve the custody chain's integrity. Furthermore, machine learning-driven PII detection and masking methods balance the requirement for forensic investigation with privacy compliance by controlling data accessibility according to access entitlements. Based on permitted access levels, the system makes it possible to share safe evidence with law enforcement agencies, such as courts, the police, and other forensic groups. Using blockchain to guarantee data immutability, cryptographic security to restrict access, and artificial intelligence (AI) to safeguard data, this approach enhances the privacy, security, and dependability of handling forensic evidence in medical investigations

    IoT-Based Smart Hydroponics for Automated Nutrient, Climate, Irrigation, and Health Monitoring
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ashik M.A.M; Bogahawatta C.A; Perera M.R.D; Dassanayake D.R.I.P; Jayakody, A; Gamage, N
    This study presents HydroNutraLeaf as a selfgoverning hydroponic tower system built with Internet of Things technology to automate the critical aspects of hydroculture farming by uniting water supply management with environmental control and watering systems and plant health monitoring capabilities. The system unites multiple essential components to operate as one unit. The system incorporates an automatic plant disease detection system through real-time image acquisition which uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithms and cloud-based warning protocols for classification purposes. An automated system comprising Raspberry Pi actuators, NPK sensors, and machine learning functions delivers nutrients at proper stages during plant growth. A reinforcement learning system directs the management of climate factors including temperature and humidity together with Light Emitting Diode (LED) spectrums to achieve superior yield production and product quality. The system includes a self-operated irrigation system with Electrical Conductivity (EC), potential of hydrogen (pH) regulation features which utilizes SVM-based prediction methods in combination with real-time monitoring to achieve optimum root environment conditions. Users can access a dashboard in Grafana to monitor and control the system by using cloud platforms which include Firebase and AWS. The experimental findings reveal water consumption decreased by 30% along with improved nutritional efficiency reaching 25% and enhanced crop yield reaching 15% with better health performance. The sustainable farming operations and commercial greenhouse implementation benefit from HydroNutraLeaf solution which operates through a scalable model based on data analysis and requires minimal human intervention.

    Model Optimization for Personalized Health Metrics Analysis
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Perera, M; Wijesiriwardena, A; Pathirana, A; Gamaathige, L; Wijesiri, P; Jayakody, A
    This paper investigates the development and application of four machine learning models designed to enhance personalized health management, specifically targeting young adults aged 15-30. The research addresses common health challenges, such as obesity and lifestyle-induced diseases, through data-driven methodologies that provide personalized meal plans, workout recommendations, and progress monitoring. The first model generates optimized personalized recommendations according to the user's health condition using Random Forest and Decision Tree algorithms. The second model utilizes an ensemble of Random Forest, LightGBM, and XGBoost, combined through a stacking technique with Linear Regression as the meta-model, to generate optimized personalized meal plans according to health condition. The third model generates optimized workout plans using Gradient Boosting and XGBoost classifiers, accounting for individual fitness objectives, body compositions, and medical conditions. A fourth model predicts goal achievement timelines by analyzing features such as caloric balance and hydration efficiency, providing users with actionable feedback using XGBoost. The integration of these AI-driven components into a scalable digital platform demonstrates the potential of machine learning in transforming health management. Future enhancements include improving model accuracy, enabling real-time feedback, and deploying the system as an accessible mobile application. ensemble
