TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of early screening of cognitive impairment, in particular to an artificial intelligence driven early screening and intervention integrated platform for cognitive impairment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Early identification and dynamic intervention of cognitive impairment is the key to reduce the risk of disease progression and improve the quality of life of patients. Its pathological mechanism presents the characteristics of multi-dimension and time sequence evolution, and needs to rely on multi-source data fusion and accurate analysis technology to realize whole-process management.
[0003] In the prior art, related patents have explored in the field of cognitive impairment screening. For example, Chinese patent CN202511189298.X discloses an early screening and diagnosis system for cognitive impairment based on multi-modal data, which includes a multi-modal data acquisition module (acquiring image, gene, behavior and clinical narrative information) and a causal purification module (filtering pseudo-correlation through clinical narrative anchoring and reverse intervention deduction), realizing the upgrade from "correlation" to "causality" in diagnosis and treatment. For another example, Chinese patent CN202510258074.3 discloses a cognitive impairment screening method and system based on face analysis, which collects the facial movement features of the user when watching a video containing a funny point, inputs a preset model to output a screening result, and has the characteristics of non-invasive and less dependence on professional personnel.
[0004] Although the above technical solutions have corresponding design advantages, the above technical solutions still have the following technical defects: first, multi-modal data lacks time sequence collaborative processing, and causal analysis does not reflect the dynamic evolution characteristics: CN202511189298.X realizes the causal purification of multi-modal data, but does not collaboratively process the time sequence consistency of multi-source data, and the causal relationship analysis does not combine the dynamic evolution law of cognitive function decline, so it is difficult to accurately capture the core path of pathological progression; CN202510258074.3 only analyzes single dimension features within a fixed time window, without considering the time sequence association and long-term evolution trend of data, and cannot reflect the dynamic changes of cognitive function. Second, the function coverage is not complete, and the closed-loop linkage of screening and targeted intervention is not realized: CN202511189298.X focuses on screening and causal analysis, and does not design a targeted intervention and effect feedback mechanism directly related to the analysis result; CN202510258074.3 only realizes the screening function, without extending to the personalized intervention and dynamic tracking link, and cannot form whole-process management. In view of this, we propose an artificial intelligence driven early screening and intervention integrated platform for cognitive impairment. SUMMARY

[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated platform for early screening and intervention of cognitive impairment driven by artificial intelligence, including:
[0064] Multimodal data perception and acquisition unit 1, based on eye-tracking and EEG synchronous recording technology, acquires synchronous eye-tracking signals, EEG signals and behavioral task data streams of cognitive impairment risk groups, associates key events of cognitive tasks to generate timestamps, completes the perception and acquisition of time-marked multimodal physiological and behavioral data, and transmits the output time-marked multimodal data to the central AI processing and analysis unit 2.
[0065] In this embodiment, the multimodal data sensing and acquisition unit 1 includes a signal synchronization acquisition module 11, a task event timestamp association module 12, and a data format standardization module 13, wherein:
[0066] The signal synchronization acquisition module 11 is based on eye-tracking and electroencephalogram (EEG) synchronization recording technology to simultaneously acquire eye-tracking signals, EEG signals, and behavioral task data streams of people at risk of cognitive impairment.
[0067] Specifically, the signal synchronization acquisition module 11 adopts a general eye-tracking and EEG synchronization acquisition scheme: it selects eye-tracking acquisition devices that support a sampling rate of ≥100Hz, such as desktop non-invasive eye-tracking acquisition devices, and EEG acquisition devices that support a sampling rate of ≥250Hz, such as scalp electrode-based non-invasive EEG acquisition devices, as the core acquisition devices. At the same time, it deploys cognitive task execution programs, such as digital working memory tasks and visual search tasks, on the PC to acquire behavioral task data streams. The eye-tracking acquisition devices, EEG acquisition devices, and PC-side task programs are connected through hardware trigger lines. When the PC-side task program starts, it synchronously sends trigger signals to the eye-tracking and EEG acquisition devices, so that the three types of devices start data acquisition based on the same trigger signal, ensuring that the acquisition start sequence of eye-tracking signals, EEG signals, and behavioral task data streams is consistent. Among them, the acquisition of behavioral task data streams is linked in real time with the operation events of the task program, such as stimulus presentation and user response, and is recorded synchronously with the task progress.
[0068] The task event timestamp association module 12 associates key events of the cognitive task and generates corresponding timestamp markers for the collected eye movement signals, EEG signals and behavioral task data streams;
[0069] Specifically, the key events of the cognitive task include four core nodes: "task initiation," "stimulus target presentation," "user response submission," and "task phase end." When the above key events occur, the PC-based cognitive task program synchronously generates a marker instruction containing the event type and the system time of the event occurrence, and sends it to the acquisition software of the eye-tracking acquisition device, the EEG acquisition device, and its own behavioral data recording module. After receiving the marker instruction, each device embeds the same event timestamp (format: UNIX timestamp + millisecond offset) into the acquisition data at the corresponding time. For example, when the "stimulus target presentation" event occurs, the task program generates the timestamp "1690000000123_stimulus presentation," and this marker is added to the sampled data of eye-tracking, EEG, and behavioral data at that time, realizing the temporal binding of the three types of data with the key events of the cognitive task.
[0070] The data format standardization module 13 performs format standardization processing on the eye movement signals, EEG signals and behavioral task data streams after the timestamp is marked, and transmits the processed time-marked multimodal physiological and behavioral data to the central AI processing and analysis unit 2.
[0071] Specifically, the raw data formats of each device are as follows: eye-tracking acquisition devices output a .csv file containing "timestamp, X coordinate of fixation point, Y coordinate of fixation point, and fixation duration"; EEG acquisition devices output a .edf file containing "timestamp and potential values of each lead (such as F3, F4, C3)"; and behavioral task programs output a .json file containing "timestamp, reaction time, and task accuracy".
[0072] The data format standardization module 13 uses Python scripts to call corresponding data parsing libraries (such as pandas parsing .csv, mne parsing .edf, and json library parsing .json) to convert the three types of data into structured data tables indexed by "unified task event timestamps". The data table fields include "unified timestamp, data type (eye movement / EEG / behavior)", and data content (such as eye movement: fixation X / Y; EEG: F3 lead potential; behavior: reaction time)". Finally, the standardized data is stored as an HDF5 format file and transmitted to the central AI processing and analysis unit 2.
[0073] The Central AI Processing and Analysis Unit 2 receives time-stamped multimodal data transmitted from the Multimodal Data Perception and Acquisition Unit 1. Using the timestamps of key events in the cognitive task as anchors, it completes cross-modal temporal alignment of eye-tracking, EEG, and behavioral data streams. It constructs a dynamic heterogeneous graph structure, mapping physiological and behavioral variables to graph nodes, initializing directed edges with time-delay weights to represent potential interactions between variables, and generating a time-series graph sequence that evolves with the task progress. A differentiable causal discovery mechanism is introduced, employing an end-to-end structure search algorithm based on Gumbel-Sigmoid to jointly optimize the existence probability and causal direction of edges in the graph. An improved Granger causal loss function and neurophysiological prior constraints are embedded to automatically learn and obtain... A biologically plausible temporal causal weight matrix is used to identify driving decline patterns and generate an individualized cognitive decline causal chain map. A personalized baseline is established based on the initial test data, and the longitudinal deviation of the intensity of each causal path in subsequent test data is calculated. An LSTM-attention network is used to model the multi-round causal path intensity sequence, outputting the individualized cognitive decline causal chain map and key driving paths to the personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3, while also outputting a standardized clinical report. The central AI processing and analysis unit 2 includes a cross-modal temporal alignment module 21, a dynamic heterogeneous graph construction module 22, a differentiable causal discovery module 23, a cognitive decline causal chain modeling module 24, and a sequence prediction and output module 25, wherein:
[0074] In this embodiment, the cross-modal temporal alignment module 21 receives temporally tagged multimodal data transmitted by the multimodal data sensing and acquisition unit 1, and completes cross-modal temporal alignment of eye-tracking, EEG, and behavioral data streams using the timestamps of key events in the cognitive task as anchor points. The cross-modal temporal alignment module 21 includes a cognitive task anchor point benchmark determination submodule and a multimodal data timestamp calibration submodule, wherein:
[0075] The cognitive task anchor benchmark determination submodule extracts the triggering time of stimulus presentation and response instructions in the cognitive task, and uses the triggering time as the benchmark time point for multimodal data alignment;
[0076] Specifically, the cognitive task anchor benchmark determination submodule extracts the trigger times of two core key events in the cognitive task: "stimulus presentation" and "response instruction." The specific implementation is as follows: Event logs during the cognitive task execution process are parsed from time-series-marked multimodal data; the system timestamps corresponding to the "stimulus presentation identifier" and "response instruction identifier" in the logs are filtered and recorded as the benchmark time point set. ,(satisfy ),in Indicates the first The triggering time of each key event ( (This represents the total number of critical events, which is dynamically adjusted according to the cognitive task design.) This set serves as a unified benchmark for multimodal data alignment.
[0077] The multimodal data timestamp calibration submodule matches the sampling times of eye-tracking signals, EEG signals, and behavioral task data streams with the reference time points. After calibration, the time deviation of each modality data does not exceed 1 / 2 of the corresponding data sampling period.
[0078] Specifically, the multimodal data timestamp calibration submodule sets the sampling times of eye-tracking signals, electroencephalogram signals, and behavioral task data streams with the reference time points. To achieve precise matching, the specific implementation is as follows:
[0079] Assume the sampling rate of the eye movement signal is (Unit: Hz), corresponding sampling period The sampling rate of the EEG signal is The corresponding sampling period The sampling rate of the behavioral task data stream is The corresponding sampling period ;
[0080] Sampling time of arbitrary modal data Find the set of reference time points Zhongyu closest reference time point Calculate time deviation ;
[0081] like ( The sampling period for this modal data is... Corresponding to , , Then, the sampling time is corrected using the fixed offset calibration method. The corrected formula is:
[0082] ;
[0083] in This is a sign function used to maintain the temporal direction of the sampling time relative to the reference time point;
[0084] like Then the original sampling time of the modal data is directly retained. No corrections are needed.
[0085] After the sampling time calibration is completed, for the corrected sampling time The corresponding modal data values are calculated using linear interpolation: assuming the original modality is earlier than... The most recent sampling time is The corresponding data value is Originally later than The most recent sampling time is The corresponding data value is ,but The corresponding values are:
[0086] ;
[0087] If sampling time Earlier than the base time point set The first benchmark or later than the last benchmark point Then retain the original sampling time. It is marked as a "non-reference aligned sampling point" and its timing attribute needs to be separately marked when the subsequent module processes it.
[0088] After calibration, the deviations of all sampling times in the eye-tracking signals, EEG signals, and behavioral task data streams from their corresponding reference time points all meet the requirements. This ensures the temporal consistency of multimodal data.
[0089] In this embodiment, the dynamic heterogeneous graph construction module 22 constructs a dynamic heterogeneous graph structure based on aligned multimodal data, maps physiological and behavioral variables to graph nodes, initializes directed edges with time delay weights to represent the potential interaction relationships between variables, and generates a time series graph sequence that evolves with the task progress. The process of initializing the directed edge time delay weights and generating the time series graph sequence during the construction of the dynamic heterogeneous graph by the dynamic heterogeneous graph construction module 22 includes the following steps:
[0090] S22.1 Determine the preset time delay window and obtain the time series data sequence corresponding to the graph node;
[0091] Specifically, the implementation of determining the preset time delay window and obtaining the time-series data sequence is as follows:
[0092] Preset time delay window length The value is determined based on the time scale of the cognitive task and the physiological signal response characteristics, and the range is [value range missing]. In this embodiment, it is set This value is based on the academic research conclusions of cognitive neuroscience, referring to the time window theory of cognitive processing in "Temporal Windows as Logistical Basis for Cognitive Processing" (Institutional Knowledge Base of Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences), and combined with the neural temporal representation research in "Neural Representation of Time across Complementary Reference Frames" (MPG.PuRe 2025). 0.5s can completely cover the core association cycle (0.4-0.6s) of "stimulus-physiology-behavior" in cognitive tasks. It avoids missing key signals due to an excessively short window and prevents noise from being introduced due to an excessively long window. It is a conventional fitting value for multimodal temporal association analysis.
[0093] The aligned multimodal data is divided into continuous time segments along the time dimension, with the length of each time segment equal to a preset time delay window. Forming a time window sequence ( (Total number of time windows).
[0094] The nodes of the dynamic heterogeneous graph represent physiological and behavioral variables, and the total number of nodes is given by... Then the first Nodes ( ) in the Time window The time series data sequence inside is ,in For the first Each node Inner The values of each sampling point ( (for sampling point index) This is the sampling rate of the modal data corresponding to this node.
[0095] S22.2 Calculate the correlation coefficient of time series data sequences at different nodes under the time delay window;
[0096] Specifically, the specific steps for calculating the correlation coefficient of node time-series data sequences are as follows:
[0097] For any two nodes and ( ), in the Time window Within, calculate the time-series data sequences of both. and correlation coefficient In this embodiment, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0098] ;
[0099] in, (Time window) (Total number of sampling points within) for The mean, for The mean;
[0100] Correlation coefficient The value range is [-1, 1]. The larger the absolute value, the stronger the correlation between the two nodes within that time window.
[0101] S22.3. Normalize the correlation coefficients of all node pairs to obtain the initial values of the time delay weights of the edges in the graph. ;in, , All are node indices in a dynamic heterogeneous graph;
[0102] Specifically, correlation coefficient normalization and initial value calculation of time delay weights.
[0103] For all node pairs In the Time window Correlation coefficient within Normalization is performed using the Min-Max normalization method, mapping the values to the [0,1] interval to obtain the initial values for the delay weights. (correspond In the The specific values for each time window are calculated using the following formula:
[0104] ;
[0105] in, For all node pairs in The minimum value of the internal correlation coefficient. For all node pairs in The maximum value of the internal correlation coefficient;
[0106] Indicates the first Within a time window, from node Pointing to node The initial values of the time delay weights of the directed edges. , All are node indices in a dynamic heterogeneous graph. ), representing the nodes within this time window For nodes The initial strength of potential interaction relationships.
[0107] S22.4, will As the initial weights of the directed edges in the dynamic heterogeneous graph, a sequence of time graphs that evolves with the progress of the task is generated.
[0108] Specifically, the generation of dynamic heterogeneous graph time series sequences involves the following steps:
[0109] For each time window Using all physiological and behavioral variables as nodes, Construct a static heterogeneous graph with initial weights for directed edges. ,in ( For the first (nodes). (directed edge) Corresponding node To the node Potential interaction relationships);
[0110] Concatenate all the static heterogeneous graphs corresponding to the time windows in chronological order to form a sequence of time-series graphs that evolve with the task progress. This sequence fully preserves the dynamic changes in the potential interaction relationships between nodes within different time windows.
[0111] In this embodiment, the differentiable causal discovery module 23 introduces a differentiable causal discovery mechanism to process the time series graph sequence and jointly optimize the existence probability and causal direction of edges in the graph. The process by which the differentiable causal discovery module 23 optimizes the existence probability and causal direction of graph edges based on the time series graph sequence by constructing a joint optimization objective function includes the following steps:
[0112] S23.1 Determine the predicted value of the node time series data at the target time, and the set of parent nodes of the node corresponding to the target time, to clarify the basis for causal relationship fitting;
[0113] Specifically, the implementation of determining the node prediction value and the set of parent nodes is as follows:
[0114] Target time definition: Let the current processing time window be... The target time is The first Each sampling time ( ), denoted as ;
[0115] node At the target time The true value is Predicted value It is predicted by combining its historical sampling data and the historical data of its parent node set;
[0116] Parent node set definition: Let node The set of parent nodes is , indicating a node At the target time The set of nodes whose values have potential causal influence. (excluding nodes) (Itself), the initial set of parent nodes is composed of dynamic heterogeneous graphs Medium weight nodes The threshold value of 0.3 is used for preliminary screening of strongly correlated nodes. The value of 0.3 is based on the classic classification standard for correlation coefficient strength in "Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis" (Johnson & Wichern), and also aligns with the research conclusion of "Screening and Evaluation of Non-volatile Decision Traits for Oviposition Resistance / Susceptibility in Oriented Fruit Fly" (Chinese Journal of Agricultural Science, 2023)—when the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is ≥0.3, the variables have a statistically significant effective association, which can eliminate random noise and retain core features.

In this embodiment, it is set as follows: This value originates from the academic consensus in the field of sparse causal discovery. Referring to research findings in "Sparse Causal Discovery in MultivariateTime Series" (ar5iv 2025) and "A Sparsity Principle for Partially Observable Causal Representation Learning" (arXiv 2024), the typical parameter range for sparse regularization in causal models is 0.001-0.01. 0.005 falls in the middle of this range, balancing model sparsity with the preservation of causal relationships, which is consistent with... The parameter optimization logic based on 1,2-norm regularization has been proven effective in dynamic Granger causal learning tasks.

This report is then simultaneously output to the personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3. The value of 0.2 is based on academic research on attention feature selection. According to the algorithm logic of "Sequential Attention for Feature Selection" (ResearchGate 2022), 0.2 is a general dividing value that distinguishes between "core weights" and "secondary weights". Features with weights ≥ 0.2 contribute more than 80% to the model output.

The central AI processing and analysis unit 2 iterates the cognitive decline causal chain map and modeling results based on the transmitted post-intervention multimodal data, and feeds back the iterated results to the personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3, which then corrects the intervention strategy parameters.
[0208] In this embodiment, the effect tracking and feedback closed-loop unit 4 includes an intervention strategy receiving module 41, an intervention process monitoring module 42, a feedback data acquisition module 43, and a data feedback and iteration connection module 44, wherein:

[0212] Data verification: The received data is verified for completeness and format. The core fields (intervention strategy ID, user unique identifier, associated critical path ID, intervention task list, and monitoring indicator list) are checked to see if they are complete and if the format conforms to the preset specifications. If the verification passes, the data is stored in the local cache. If the verification fails, a retransmission request is returned to the personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3.
[0213] Data parsing and storage: Parse JSON format data, extract key information such as intervention task type, implementation parameters (duration, frequency), and core monitoring indicators, and store it in an index based on "user identifier-strategy ID" to provide directly callable strategy basis for subsequent intervention process monitoring module 42.

The data includes wave power ratio, fixation stability of eye movement nodes, and reaction time of behavioral nodes. Physiological and behavioral data changes during the intervention process are captured in real time using non-invasive monitoring devices (consistent with the type of acquisition device in multimodal data perception and acquisition unit 1). The data is recorded in segments of 100ms-500ms time windows to ensure that the data is synchronized with the timing of the intervention process.
[0218] Anomaly warning: If the intervention implementation deviates from the preset parameters (such as the duration of a single intervention is less than 80% of the preset value) or if the physiological behavior data shows extreme abnormalities (such as excessive EEG signal noise), a real-time warning will be triggered, prompting the intervention implementer (such as medical staff or individuals) to adjust the implementation method or investigate equipment problems.
[0219] Feedback data acquisition module 43 collects post-intervention multimodal physiological and behavioral data within the monitoring scope of intervention process monitoring module 42;
[0220] Specifically, the feedback data acquisition module 43, based on the monitoring range of the intervention process monitoring module 42, collects multimodal physiological and behavioral data after the intervention, providing data support for the iterative analysis of the central AI processing and analysis unit 2. The specific implementation is as follows:
[0221] Data collection timing: Data collection should be initiated according to the cycle set by the intervention strategy (e.g., immediate collection after a single intervention, or centralized collection after the end of a weekly intervention cycle).
[0222] The data collected is consistent with the data collection dimensions of the multimodal data perception and acquisition unit 1, including eye movement signals (gaze coordinates, gaze duration), electroencephalogram (EEG signals (potentials in specified leads, power percentage of characteristic frequency bands), and behavioral data (reaction time, task accuracy), to ensure the continuity of data dimensions.
[0223] Data preprocessing: The collected raw data is standardized and preprocessed, including noise reduction (bandpass filtering of EEG signals from 5-30Hz and removal of abnormal values from eye movement signals), timestamp marking (adding a uniform timestamp to each data point based on the intervention end time), and format conversion (converting to a format consistent with time-series tokenized multimodal data) to ensure that the data can be directly parsed by the central AI processing and analysis unit 2.
[0224] The data feedback and iteration connection module 44 feeds back the multimodal data collected by the feedback data acquisition module 43 after intervention to the central AI processing and analysis unit 2, and receives the cognitive decline causal chain map and modeling results after the central AI processing and analysis unit 2 iterates based on the fed-back data, and synchronizes them to the personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3.
[0225] Specifically, the data feedback and iteration connection module 44 is responsible for the feedback of data and the connection of iteration results, constructing a closed-loop link of "collection-analysis-correction", which is implemented as follows:
[0226] Feedback data transmission: The multimodal data after intervention, which is preprocessed by the feedback data collection module 43, is associated and marked according to "user identifier-strategy ID-collection timestamp" and transmitted back to the central AI processing and analysis unit 2 through an encrypted transmission mechanism (the same encryption method as the intervention strategy synchronization module 33). The transmission is accompanied by a record of the intervention implementation status (completion rate, abnormal situations).
[0227] Iteration result reception: Receive the results of the central AI processing and analysis unit 2 after iteration based on the feedback data, including the updated individualized cognitive function decline causal chain map, key driving path adjustment results, and updated values of longitudinal deviation of causal path strength;
[0228] Iterative Integration: The iteration results are synchronized to the personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3 in a structured format, with the "iteration version number" and "core adjustment point" (such as "causal strength of key driving path A") marked during synchronization. "Reducing by 15%" provides a clear basis for the target pathway blocking strategy generation module 32 to modify the intervention strategy parameters;
[0229] Closed-loop logging: Records data feedback status, iteration result reception status, and time nodes for synchronization to personalized intervention strategy generation unit 3. Log files are established according to "user identifier - iteration cycle" to support subsequent traceability and closed-loop effect evaluation.
