Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) detection for IoT based EEG signal

ADHD is a prevalent childhood behavioral problem. Early ADHD identification is essential towards addressing the disorder and minimizing its negative impact on school, career, relationships, as well as general well-being. The present ADHD diagnosis relies primarily on an emotional assessment which can be readily influenced by clinical expertise and lacks a basis of objective markers. In this paper, an innovative IoT based ADHD detection is proposed using an EEG signal. To the input EEG signal, the min-max normalization technique is processed. Features are extracted as the subsequent step, where improved fuzzy feature, in which the entropy is estimated to increase the effectiveness of recognizing the vector along with, fractal dimension, wavelet transform and non-linear features are extracted. Also, proposes the new hybrid PUDMO algorithm to select the optimal features from the extracted feature set. Subsequently, the selected features are fed to the proposed hybrid detection system that including IDBN and LSTM classifier to detect whether it is ADHD or not. Further, the weights of both classifiers are tuned optimally as per the hybrid PUDMO algorithm to enhance the detection performance. The PUDMO achieved an accuracy of 0.9649 in the best statistical metric, compared to the SLO's 0.8266, SOA's 0.8201, SMA's 0.8060, BRO's 0.8563, DE's 0.8083, POA's 0.8537, and DMOA's 0.8647, respectively. Thus, the assessments and detection help the clinicians to take appropriate decision.
