9Computer Vision-based Edge Computing System to Detect Health Informatics for Oral Pre-Cancer

Over the last decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been the most favorable and promising technology for every growing-edge domain. The IoT is playing an impressive role in new cutting-edge computer applications, showing a new path to leading industries such as healthcare, agriculture, robotics, automotive, home automation and the smart city. Automation in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is increasing in several industries. The objective of the present study was to assess the clinical correlation between histological changes in the pre-cancerous tissues of subjects with oral submucous fibrosis and the normal control group. This study was conducted on tissue samples from oral submucous fibrosis (n = 20) compared with the healthy group (n = 20). The tissues were stained with special histochemical stains for carbohydrates (periodic acid Schiff (PAS)), lipids (Sudan IV) and collagen (Van Gieson’s (VG) stain)) for histochemical characterization analysis.

9.1. Introduction

Cancer is a primary cause of mortality and a major impediment to improving life expectancy in every single republic in the world (Bray et al. 2021). According to the World Health Organization’s predictions for 2019, cancer is the primary or second leading cause of death at the age of 70 in 112 out of 183 countries, and the third or fourth leading cause of death in a further 23 countries (WHO 2020).
