UNSTRUCTURED With the projected upsurge in the percentage of persons with some form of disability, there is a significant increase in the need for assistive mobility devices. However, these mobility aids are hardly effective without their ability to adapt to the user’s needs. This is achieved by improving the confidence of the information used or interaction between the user and his device also referred to as adaptation. In the recent past, there has been little effort to provide literature reviews on the adaptability of assistive mobility devices (AMDs). This paper systematically reviews the recent assistive mobility technologies, over the past decade, according to their adaptation and the role that the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has played in the adaptability of these technologies. The information gathered in the study provides awareness of the status of adaptive mobility technology and serves as a source and reference of information to healthcare professionals, and researchers. The paper starts by highlighting recent technologies according to the user system interface (human/device interface), then presents some recent technologies in perception and sensor fusion (autonomous navigation) for adaptability, and finally, IoMT frameworks for AMDs. Some notable limitations are also discussed. The findings of the review reveal that an improvement in the adaptation of assistive mobility systems would require a reduction in the training time and avoidance of cognitive overload. Furthermore, sensor fusion and classification accuracy are critical to achieving real-world testing requirements. Finally, the trade-off between cost and performance needs to be considered in the commercialization of these devices.

Background The Internet of Medical Things (IoMTs) is gradually replacing the traditional healthcare system. However, little attention has been paid to their security requirements in the development of the IoMT devices and systems. One of the main reasons can be the difficulty of tuning conventional security solutions to the IoMT system. Machine Learning (ML) has been successfully employed in the attack detection and mitigation process. Advanced ML technique can also be a promising approach to address the existing and anticipated IoMT security and privacy issues. However, because of the existing challenges of IoMT system, it is imperative to know how these techniques can be effectively utilized to meet the security and privacy requirements without affecting the IoMT systems quality, services, and device’s lifespan. Methodology This article is devoted to perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on the security and privacy issues of IoMT and their solutions by ML techniques. The recent research papers disseminated between 2010 and 2020 are selected from multiple databases and a standardized SLR method is conducted. A total of 153 papers were reviewed and a critical analysis was conducted on the selected papers. Furthermore, this review study attempts to highlight the limitation of the current methods and aims to find possible solutions to them. Thus, a detailed analysis was carried out on the selected papers through focusing on their methods, advantages, limitations, the utilized tools, and data. Results It was observed that ML techniques have been significantly deployed for device and network layer security. Most of the current studies improved traditional metrics while ignored performance complexity metrics in their evaluations. Their studies environments and utilized data barely represent IoMT system. Therefore, conventional ML techniques may fail if metrics such as resource complexity and power usage are not considered.

The economic diversification concept gives hope for a country with rich natural resources to strengthen its economic basis. Thus industrial revolution era of 4.0 provides great opportunity to fasten the process. A study by McKensey in 2011 proved that the internet in the developing country contributes around 3.4% towards its GDP which means that the internet has become a new hope for the economy in the future. Indonesia is one of the countries that is attempting to maximize the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) for its economic growth.� The attempt has made the retail and tourism industries as the two main sectors to experience the significant effect of IoT. In the process of optimizing the IoT to support the economic growth, Indonesia faces several issues especially in the term of the internet network quality and its distribution, the inclusive access of financial access and the infrastructure

As participant recruitment and data collection over the Internet have become more common, numerous observers have expressed concern regarding the validity of research conducted in this fashion. One growing method of conducting research over the Internet involves recruiting participants and administering questionnaires over Facebook, the world’s largest social networking service. If Facebook is to be considered a viable platform for social research, it is necessary to demonstrate that Facebook users are sufficiently heterogeneous and that research conducted through Facebook is likely to produce results that can be generalized to a larger population. The present study examines these questions by comparing demographic and personality data collected over Facebook with data collected through a standalone website, and data collected from college undergraduates at two universities. Results indicate that statistically significant differences exist between Facebook data and the comparison data-sets, but since 80% of analyses exhibited partial η2 < .05, such differences are small or practically nonsignificant in magnitude. We conclude that Facebook is a viable research platform, and that recruiting Facebook users for research purposes is a promising avenue that offers numerous advantages over traditional samples.
