Abstract
This work presents the HSS-Cognitive project, which is a Healthcare Smart System that can be applied in measuring the efficiency of any therapy where neuronal interaction gives a trace whether the therapy is efficient or not, using mathematical tools. The artificial intelligence of the project underlies in the understanding of brain signals or Electroencephalogram (EEG) by means of the determination of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) over all the EEG bands in order to estimate how efficient was a therapy. Our project HSS-Cognitive was applied, recording the EEG signals from two patients treated for 8 min in a dolphin tank, measuring their activity in five experiments and for 6 min measuring their activity in a pool without dolphin in four experiments. After applying our TEA (Therapeutic Efficiency Assessment) metric for patient 1, we found that this patient had gone from having relaxation states regardless of the dolphin to attention states when the dolphin was presented. For patient 2, we found that he had maintained attention states regardless of the dolphin, that is, the DAT (Dolphin Assisted Therapy) did not have a significant effect in this patient, perhaps because he had a surgery last year in order to remove a tumor, having impact on the DAT effectiveness. However, patient 2 presented the best efficiency when doing physical therapy led by a therapist in a pool without dolphins around him. According to our findings, we concluded that our Brain-Inspired Healthcare Smart System can be considered a reliable tool for measuring the efficiency of a dolphin-assisted therapy and not only for therapist or medical doctors but also for researchers in neurosciences.
Highlights
The study of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can reveal complex phenomena associated with different kinds of non-linear interactions
This work have presented the project HSS-Cognitive as a Healthcare Smart System applied to measure the efficiency of any therapy where neuronal interaction gives a trace whether the therapy is efficient or not using Therapeutic Efficiency Assessment (TEA) metric
We defined a DAT as a technique consisting in the interaction of a patient with dolphins (Tursiops truncatus, bottlenose specie), where a therapist intervenes; the therapist role is to help improve the quality of life of both children and adults who suffer serious health problems, especially chronic diseases and psychological, Figure 18
Summary
The study of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can reveal complex phenomena associated with different kinds of non-linear interactions. The non-linear analysis is able to provide a useful diagnosis and information to generate a prognosis. Spectrum Density, has been applied in this article to study the dynamics of EEG time series from neurotypic children and children with and Infantile Spastic Cerebral Palsy. The numbers of people with a disability in the world increases year by year, in particular those referring to cognitive abilities. In Mexico, approximately 747 thousand people suffer of mental diseases.
