    PatientCare: Patient Assistive Tool with Automatic Hand-written Prescription Reader
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Kulathunga, D.; Muthukumarana, C.; Pasan, U.; Hemachandra, C.; Tissera, M.; De Silva, H.
    Most people in the world prefer to be conscious of the medications prescribed by physicians. Especially, the importance of handwritten prescriptions is prodigious in Sri Lanka because they are widely used in the healthcare sector. However, due to the illegible handwriting and the medical abbreviations of the physicians, patients are unable to find the prescribed medication information. This research is an attempt to assist the patients in identifying the prescribed medicine information and minimizes misreading errors of medical prescriptions. When a patient uploads the image of a prescription, the system converts it into unstructured text data by using OCR and segmentation, then NER is used to categorize medical information from given text. According to the other research, some solutions exist in other domains for the above mechanisms. But they gave less accuracy when tried to apply for this research due to the domain specialty. Therefore, as a solution to overcome the above discrepancy this approach allows users to scan handwritten medical prescriptions and blood reports and obtain analyzed reports in medical history. Results have shown that this approach will give 64%-70% accuracy level in doctor's handwriting recognition and 95%- 98% accuracy in medical information categorization of the prescription format.

    DenGue CarB: Mosquito Identification and Classification using Machine Learning
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Mohommed, M.; Rajakaruna, P.; Kehelpannala, N.; Perera, A.; Abeysiri, L.
    This research paper discusses a web-based application that assists Public Health Officers in the dengue identification process. The mosquito classification is done using image processing and machine learning techniques. The training models are developed using Convolutional Neural Networks Algorithm, Support Vector Machine Algorithm, and K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm to validate the results to determine the most accurate and suitable algorithm. this paper discusses the previous related research work on its significance and drawbacks while highlighting design, methods, and implementation in the solution. We conclude that the CNN algorithm provides the highest accuracy among the machine learning techniques used.
