Advanced Clinical Decision Support Systems significantly influence patient care, with medicine prescriptions being a vital area of research. Ontology, a growing discipline in the semantic web, enables hierarchical domain representation, thereby allowing finer data access to be achieved. Deep Learning (DL) supports pattern recognition in Electronic Health Records (EHR), which include patient demographics and diagnosis histories. Prescribing medications with minimal adverse effects is crucial, particularly for patients who require multiple drugs, as drug interactions can result in more complex conditions. This study introduces an integrated approach that combines Ontology with DL neural networks to improve prescription accuracy. This study proposes NexusOpti, a model featuring an Enhanced Gated Recurrent Unit (E-GRU) layer. To understand drug–disease interactions, hierarchical data were extracted from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) ontologies. These structured data were processed using a self-attention mechanism to enhance the recommendation precision. This integration not only addresses data security concerns but also improves the accuracy of the medicine recommendations. The model was evaluated using key metrics such as the hit ratio and normalised discounted cumulative gain (NDCG). The NexusOpti model, incorporating the Enhanced Gated Recurrent Unit (E-GRU) layer, outperforms the existing GRU model in terms of NDCG and Hit Ratio metrics. 13% of improvement in performance was oberved to the comparison between NexusOpti with the E-GRU and the GRAM baseline model. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the model in advancing personalised, safer, and data-driven medication prescriptions.

The reliable estimation of remaining useful life (RUL) of rolling bearings plays a critical role in maintaining the reliability of modern industrial equipment and minimizing machine downtime. However, the conventional vibration-based prognostic methods tend to experience challenges in predicting the remaining useful life of rolling bearings in variable-speed operating environments due to issues with nonstationary signals and the lack of incorporation of physical degradation processes. This paper proposes a physics-informed approach for estimating the remaining useful life of rolling bearings using vibration envelope characteristics and accelerated life testing. The approach starts with the use of order tracking combined with envelope analysis to extract vibration envelope characteristics under variable speed conditions. A health index is constructed to represent the degradation process. The nonlinear degradation process is modelled using a physics-informed exponential degradation model. An ensemble prediction model is proposed for predicting RUL. The results demonstrate that the developed model was significantly more accurate in its predictions, with a maximum of 49% improvement in the RMSE compared to traditional models and consistent results under varied operational conditions. The use of physics-based modelling and envelope analysis increased the clarity and robustness of the model, and the acceleration of the life testing process contributed to better generalizability of the model. Moreover, the introduction of adaptive threshold values improved maintenance time prediction by over 50%, and uncertainty assessment confirmed the validity of the model.
