An Internet of Things Assisted Autism Spectrum Disorder Prediction Using Deep Learning Principles with Medical Image Processing Assistance

Characteristics of the complex neuro-developmental condition Autism Spectrum condition (ASD) include impaired social communication and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. This study presents a novel approach for identifying ASD in young infants by integrating deep learning, Internet of Things (IoT) and medical image processing. The goal of this research is to create comprehensive and discriminative features by combining wearable sensor data with brain imaging and smart home environments. For the greatest results, early diagnosis is essential. The proposed method called IoT based Autism Predictive Framework (IoTAPF) has a high detection rate of 97.8% and is cross-validated against the current Learning based Autism Detection Strategy (LADS). The proposed approach aims at improving diagnostic specificity which helps in forecasting behaviors and thus pushing earlier interventions, providing better support for ASD individuals and their families. The paper discusses the design and implementation of the framework, including sensor integration, data management, and predictive modeling. Preliminary results from pilot studies are presented, demonstrating the framework's potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and support individualized care plans. The proposed solution represents a significant advancement in the application of IoT technology for early autism detection and management, paving the way for more proactive and data-driven approaches in the field of neuro-developmental disorders.
