Machine Learning Based Diagnostics of Developmental Coordination Disorder using Electroencephalographic Data

Machine Learning Based Diagnostics of Developmental Coordination Disorder using Electroencephalographic Data

Online

We report on promising results concerning the fast and accurate diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) which heavily impacts the life of affected children with emotional and behavioral issues. Using a machine learning classifier on spectral data of electroencephalography (EEG) recordings and unfolding the traditional frequency bandwidth in a fine-graded equidistant 99-point spectrum we were able to reach an accuracy of over 99.35 percent having only one misclassification. Our machine learning work contributes to healthcare and information systems research. While current diagnostic methods in use are either complicated, time-consuming, or inaccurate, our automated machine-based approach is accurate and reliable. Our results also provide more insights into the relationship between DCD and brain activity which could stimulate future work in medicine.
