Digital Image processing implementation can be applied to identify medicinal leaves, because it can help the elderly and people with color-blindness in identifying medicinal leave to be consumed and in avoiding reading errors, since some leaves have similar shape and color . In this discussion, the feature-extractions are using color and shape features, and using Levenberg-Marquardt for pattern recognition algorithm. The success of this medicinal plant identification system resulted in fairly good accuracy. The backpropagation network architecture used two hidden layers with 10 and 5 neurons. Data training is using 60 training leaf images with 15 images each of 5 types: green betel leaf, red betel, soursop, castor and aloe vera. Then, offline testing is using 20 test images for each of 4 images from 5 types with the accuracy of 85%. Meanwhile the online (realtime) test is using 20 times for each leaf types so the accuracy is 88%.

BACKGROUND As China’s population ages, older people’s mental health has become an important social issue. In recent years, the popularity of smart mobile devices (SMDs) (such as smart watches, smartphones, tablets, etc.) means an increasing number of elderly people are using them. OBJECTIVE We investigated the impacts of SMDs on promoting mental health by developing a research model associated with SMD-use behavior, social support, and the mental health of the elderly. METHODS Participants included 478 elderly SMD users, of whom 242 (50.63%) were women and 236 (49.37%) were men. The Social Support Scale, SMD-use Scale, GDS-30 and Tilburg weakness evaluation scale (GFI) were used in data collection. Structural equation modeling (SEM)be used for data analysis RESULTS The influence of intelligent terminal use behavior on enacted offline social support (T=6.903, p= 0.00) is greater than that on enacted online social support (T=2.294, p=0.033). The use behavior of intelligent terminals has the largest impact on perceived social support (T=3.929, p=0.00), followed by enacted offline social support (T=2.848, p=0.004) and enacted online social support (T=2.242, p=0.013). The effects of perceived social support on depression were confirmed (T=6.736, p=0.00). It showed that perceived social support had a significant impact on depression. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that the usage of SMD devices could effectively affect older people’s mental health based on social support. The influence of SMD use on social support is mainly on enacted offline social support, which is different from the previous research on young people. Besides, the use of SMD equipment can effectively improve the perceived ability for the elderly.

The In-TIC system for mobile devices (in Spanish: Integration with Information and Communication Technologies system for mobile devices) represents an approach towards the area of technical aids for mobile devices. The mobile telephone is a device that makes our lives easier, allowing us to be permanently accessible and in contact, to save relevant information, and also for entertainment purposes. However, people with visual, auditory or motor impairment or the elderly still find these devices difficult to use. They have to overcome a range of difficulties when using mobile telephones: the screens are difficult to read, the buttons are too small to use, and the technical features are too complicated to understand. At present, the main advances in mobile technology have been aimed at improving multimedia-messaging services and reproducing videos and music. This new support system adds accessibility to mobile telephones, making them easier to use for the people who need them the most, people with reduced physical or mental capacities who cannot use a conventional mobile.

With the aging of the population, the senior people’s quality of life has become a hot issue in China and even in the world. This study, with emotion as the core, evaluated the senior citizens’ quality of life in the form of scales to explore the relationship between emotion and human health. Artificial intelligent identification system has developed rapidly in this society and has made great contributions to the development of human society. Combining artificial intelligent identification system with medicine will contribute to the development of human public health, which is of great significance and value.
