The recent analysis indicates more than 250,000 people in the United States of America (USA) die every year because of medical errors. World Health Organisation (WHO) reports states that 2.6 million deaths occur due to medical and its prescription errors. Many of the errors related to the wrong drug/dosage administration by caregivers to patients due to indecipherable handwritings, drug interactions, confusing drug names, etc. The espousal of Mobile-based speech recognition applications will eliminate the errors. This allows physicians to narrate the prescription instead of writing. The application can be accessed through smartphones and can be used easily by everyone. An application program interface has been created for handling requests. Natural language processing is used to read text, interpret and determine the important words for generating prescriptions. The patient data is stored and used according to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) guidelines. The SMS4-BSK encryption scheme is used to provide the data transmission securely over Wireless LAN.

DDoS attacks impose serious threats to many large or small organizations; therefore DDoS attacks have to be detected as soon as possible. In this study, a methodology to detect DDoS attacks is proposed and implemented on online systems. In the scope of the proposed methodology, Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), C-Support Vector Machine (SVC) machine learning methods are used with scaling and feature reduction preprocessing methods and then effects of preprocesses on detection accuracy rates of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) flood, TCP SYN (Transport Control Protocol Synchronize) flood, UDP (User Datagram Protocol) flood and ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) flood DDoS attacks are analyzed. Obtained results showed that DDoS attacks can be detected with high accuracy of 99.2%.
