I. AL Zamil, Samer M. Samarah This is a preprint; it has not been peer reviewed by a journal. https://doi.org/ 10.21203/rs.3.rs-5059844/v1 This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 License Status: Under Review Version 1 posted 12 You are reading this latest preprint version Abstract Remote recognition of human activities has revolutionized the healthcare industry by enabling smart monitoring of patients at their residents. However, such systems often expose sensitive data, making them vulnerable to breaches. Preserving data confidentiality is a problem that remains underexplored in smart activity recognition, despite its important in preserving patients’ privacy. This paper aims to develop an optimized feature augmentation technique using fractional derivatives to increase data uncertainty for improved confidentiality, while maintaining acceptable classification accuracy. A key challenge in this domain is the balancing of privacy and performance. To achieve this goal, the proposed framework utilizes multilayer perceptron neural networks that are used to embed multiple modalities of data and integrate them into a coherent structure. Validation was performed using five state-of-the-art classification techniques to measure the performance of the proposed framework in terms of classification accuracy and data confidentiality. The results elevate the potential of the proposed methodology to enable quality healthcare services in terms of confidentiality and performance.
