Digital Twin framework for Autism Spectrum Disorder analysis
摘要
Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by multiple social and behavioral challenges. One of the most prominent symptoms is the potential aggressiveness in autistic children, which can sometimes lead to physical harm. This research introduces an innovative Digital Twin-based monitoring framework aimed at predicting irregularities in the physical activity of autistic children to address these behavioral issues. The main goal is to enhance indoor safety measures for children by generating timely alerts for caregivers and healthcare professionals. The study proposes an activity assessment algorithm over a digital twin platform that combines the Bayesian technique with hybrid Convolutional Neural Networks to recognize physical anomalies. Additionally, the proposed framework ensures data security through advanced blockchain technology. It employs the Reputation-based Byzantine Fault Tolerance method for consortium networks within the blockchain. The effectiveness of this approach is assessed against leading research techniques using a comprehensive dataset of 90,367 instances. The results demonstrate significant improvements in key performance metrics, including Temporal Efficacy (10.4 seconds), Classification Efficacy (Precision 96.49%, Sensitivity 95.59%, Specificity 94.34%, F-Measure 94.49%), Decision-Making Efficiency (
