Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Neuroscience
Computer Science
Medical Diagnostics

Background:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a widespread neurodevelopmental disorder.
Current deep learning methods for ADHD detection often rely on expensive fMRI and EEG equipment.
High costs and complex operations limit the accessibility of existing ADHD diagnostic tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, cost-efficient ADHD detection system leveraging human action recognition.
To address the limitations of expensive and complex traditional diagnostic methods.
To enable remote ADHD screening and contribute to understanding brain disorders.

Main Methods:

Designed a novel hyperactivity test to capture ADHD-specific behavioral features.
Recorded the first real multimodal ADHD dataset (M-ADHD) using raw RGB videos.
Developed a system to detect ADHD symptoms based on action recognition from video data.

Main Results:

The proposed system achieved superior accuracy and AUC compared to conventional methods on the M-ADHD dataset.
Demonstrated effectiveness in detecting ADHD symptoms through observable actions.
Validated the system's performance on a newly created, real-world multimodal dataset.

Conclusions:

Action recognition-based ADHD detection offers a cost-efficient and easily operable alternative.
The system is suitable for widespread remote ADHD screening.
This approach advances the understanding, treatment, and prevention of brain disorders.
