Improving velocity forecasts of blood microflows could be useful in biomedical applications. We focus on estimating the velocity of the blood in capillaries. Modeling blood microflow in capillaries is a complex process. In this paper, we use artificial intelligence techniques for this modeling: more precisely, artificial neural networks (ANNs). The selected model is able to accurately forecast the velocity, with an R 2 of 0.8992 comparing the forecast with the actual velocity. A key part of ANN model creation is selecting the appropriate parameters for the ANN, such as the number of neurons, the number of layers and the type of training algorithm used. A grid approach with 327,600 simulations was used. It is shown that there are substantial, statistically significant differences when different types of ANN structures are used. It is also shown that the proposed model is robust regarding the initial random initialization of weights in the ANN. Additionally, the sensitivity of the selected models to additional noise was also tested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
