Leveraging natural cognitive systems in conjunction with ResNet50-BiGRU model and attention mechanism for enhanced medical image analysis and sports injury prediction.

Introduction: In this study, we explore the potential benefits of integrating natural cognitive systems (medical professionals' expertise) and artificial cognitive systems (deep learning models) in the realms of medical image analysis and sports injury prediction. We focus on analyzing medical images of athletes to gain valuable insights into their health status.
Methods: To synergize the strengths of both natural and artificial cognitive systems, we employ the ResNet50-BiGRU model and introduce an attention mechanism. Our goal is to enhance the performance of medical image feature extraction and motion injury prediction. This integrated approach aims to achieve precise identification of anomalies in medical images, particularly related to muscle or bone damage.
Results: We evaluate the effectiveness of our method on four medical image datasets, specifically pertaining to skeletal and muscle injuries. We use performance indicators such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Structural Similarity Index, confirming the robustness of our approach in sports injury analysis.
Discussion: Our research contributes significantly by providing an effective deep learning-driven method that harnesses both natural and artificial cognitive systems. By combining human expertise with advanced machine learning techniques, we offer a comprehensive understanding of athletes' health status. This approach holds potential implications for enhancing sports injury prevention, improving diagnostic accuracy, and tailoring personalized treatment plans for athletes, ultimately promoting better overall health and performance outcomes. Despite advancements in medical image analysis and sports injury prediction, existing systems often struggle to identify subtle anomalies and provide precise injury risk assessments, underscoring the necessity of a more integrated and comprehensive approach.
