    Oxygen: A Distributed Health Care Framework for Patient Health Record Management and Pharmaceutical Diagnosis
    (IEEE, 2022-12-09) Wickramarathna, M; De Silva, K; Lekamalage, V; Senanayake, J; Perera, J; Ruggahakotuwa, L
    With the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is confronting various healthcare issues, and healthcare automation is more crucial than ever. The pandemic has revealed the limitations of existing digital healthcare systems to manage public health emergencies. There is no registered population for many healthcare institutions in Sri Lanka, as a result, there is a communication gap. Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) are becoming popular to share patient details but accessing scattered data across several EHRs while safeguarding patient privacy remains a challenge. Most of these medical records are in printed format and manually entering those into EHR systems is time-consuming and error prone. Not only that pharmaceutical error is a critical healthcare problem, but it is even riskier to visit doctors for pharmaceutical diagnosis during a pandemic. This research introduces a Blockchain-based patient health record system, an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) based Medical Document Scanner, a Drug Identifier based on Image Processing and a Medical Chatbot powered by NLP as four novel approaches to address these issues. Altogether with the results, this research aims at introducing a solution for the limitations in healthcare while providing a distributed healthcare framework for the healthcare community worldwide.

    DevFlair: A Framework to Automate the Pre-screening Process of Software Engineering Job Candidates
    (IEEE, 2022-12-09) Jayasekara, R.T.R; Kudarachchi, K.A.N.D; Kariyawasam, K.G.S.S.K; Rajapaksha, D; Jayasinghe, S.L; Thelijjagoda, S
    The HR department of a technology company receives hundreds of job applications for each Software Engineering related vacancy. Evaluating a candidate by looking at the curriculum vitae may appear to be easy during the pre-screening process. However, an automated pre-screening process using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning methodologies would help the recruiter to obtain a more accurate and deeper understanding of the candidate. In this paper we propose “DevFlair”, a framework to automate pre-screening Software Engineering job candidates. DevFlair uses data from social media, GitHub, and open-ended questionnaires to predict the Big-Five personality traits, analyze technical skill expertise, and analyze the experience in using industry-related online platforms. After analysis, the candidates are ranked according to their personality and technical skill levels. We conduct the personality prediction experiments using a social media posts dataset annotated with gold-standard Big-Five personality labels. We train FastText classification models and compare their accuracy against other state of the art classification models. The comparisons conclude that the FastText classification models substantially outperform the state of the art classification models when predicting Openness, Conscientiousness, and Agreeableness personality traits.
