Internet of Medical Things in Chronic Disease Management
type: item
description: This study addresses a current research gap in Computer Science concerning Analyzing Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) Implementation’s Effectiveness on Chronic Disease Management in Northern Ghana in Ghana. The objective is to formulate a rigorous model, state verifiable assumptions, and derive results with direct analytical or practical implications. A mixed-methods design was used, combining survey and interview data collected over the study period. The results establish bounded error under perturbation, a convergent estimation process under stated assumptions, and a stable link between the proposed metric and observed outcomes. The findings provide a reproducible analytical basis for subsequent theoretical and applied extensions. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.

Sensors for Soil Moisture Monitoring in Ugandan Rice Crops
type: item
description: Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are increasingly used for monitoring soil moisture in agriculture to optimise crop management and reduce water wastage. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed journals, conferences, and grey literature was conducted to identify studies that utilised IoT sensors for soil moisture monitoring in Ugandan rice fields. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria related to methodological rigor, data quality, and relevance to the research question. The review identified a trend towards higher yields (up to 15%) associated with precise soil moisture control achieved through IoT sensors, indicating significant potential for cost savings in irrigation management. This systematic literature review highlights the effectiveness of IoT sensors in enhancing yield precision and reducing costs in Ugandan rice farming. The findings emphasise the need for further research to validate these results under varying climatic conditions and soil types. Further studies should be conducted to explore the long-term impact of IoT-based soil moisture monitoring on crop yields, water use efficiency, and economic benefits in Ugandan rice crops. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.

AI-Aided Satellite Imagery for Land Use Mapping and Monitoring in Ghana's Agricultural Landscape
type: item
description: This Data Descriptor focuses on leveraging satellite imagery and artificial intelligence (AI) for land use mapping and monitoring in Ghana’s agricultural landscape. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed to process satellite imagery datasets from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 mission. An uncertainty quantification method using Bayesian inference was applied to assess the confidence in model predictions. The AI system achieved a classification accuracy of 95% across various land use types, with urban areas showing higher precision due to their distinct spectral signatures and geometric features compared to rural landscapes. The AI-aided system demonstrates significant potential for real-time monitoring and management of Ghana’s agricultural resources, offering precise and timely insights into land use changes. Further research should explore the integration of additional datasets such as soil moisture information and climate data to improve predictive models. Implementation pilots in selected regions could validate the practical utility of this system. Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
