Embedded IoMT System for Early Dementia Detection Using EEG Signals and Deep Learning on STM32 Microcontroller
摘要
Dementia-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, require early detection to slow cognitive decline and improve patient care. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive method that can detect abnormal brain activity associated with these conditions. In this study, we developed an IoMT-based system using the STM32 microcontroller to enable real-time, embedded detection of dementia episodes. Using an LSTM model that achieved the highest accuracy (98%), surpassing SVM (95%) and Random Forest (75%). The system demonstrated an efficient execution time of 35 s per EEG signal, proving the feasibility of real-time edge computing for dementia monitoring.
