[0002]
[0003] As the proportion of newborns decreases, parents are at a point where their children require even greater protection. Therefore, early detection of developmental disabilities in newborns is crucial.
[0004] Recent advances in prenatal care have led to significant increases in newborn survival rates. However, the difficulty in predicting developmental disabilities in newborns remains a limitation. While methods for obtaining data on parents and newborns have existed, there has been a lack of effective methods for predicting developmental disabilities in newborns and addressing them.
[0005]
[0006] Accordingly, the present invention can provide a device that inputs parental physical data, parental environmental data, parental variable data, and newborn physical data, which are generally available in general hospitals easily accessible to newborns and parents, into a prediction model, and estimates the newborn's body and environment to predict whether or not the newborn has a developmental disorder.
[0007]
[0008] According to various embodiments, an electronic device for predicting developmental disorders in a newborn using a regression model-based predictive model comprises a communication interface and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive, through the communication interface, physical data of parents of the newborn, environmental data of the parents, variable data of the parents, and physical data of the newborn, and input the physical data of the parents, environmental data of the parents, variable data of the parents, and physical data of the newborn into the predictive model to determine a developmental disorder value of the newborn, and if the developmental disorder value of the newborn exceeds a threshold value, determine that the newborn has a neurodevelopmental disorder, and the predictive model is learned based on physical data of a plurality of parents, environmental data of the plurality of parents, variable data of the plurality of parents, and physical data of a plurality of newborns born from the plurality of parents and developmental disorder values of the plurality of newborns.
[0009]
[0010] According to various embodiments of the present invention, there is an effect of being able to predict whether a newborn has a developmental disorder using only data predicted using parental physical data, parental environmental data, parental variable data, and newborn physical data.

[0024]
[0025] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating an electronic device according to various embodiments.
[0026] In operation 201, the electronic device (101) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) can receive the parental body data, parental environmental data, parental variable data, and newborn body data of the newborn through the communication interface (160) (e.g., the communication interface (160) of FIG. 1). For example, the electronic device (101) can obtain the parental body data, parental environmental data, parental variable data, and newborn body data measured from an external server of the user (e.g., a general hospital server) or obtain the parental body data, parental environmental data, parental variable data, and newborn body data measured through a sensor module (not shown) implemented within the electronic device (101).
[0027] In one embodiment, parental physical data may include gender, age, and gestational age of the newborn. For example, parental physical data may further include maternal age, pregnancy history, parity, and amniotic fluid volume during pregnancy, in addition to the above. Furthermore, parental physical data may include gestational age of less than 32 weeks, pregnancy course, diabetes, hypertension, use of prenatal steroids, and histological chorioamnionitis.
[0028] In one embodiment, parental environmental data may include the parent's highest level of education, the parent's occupation, and the parent's marital status. For example, parental environmental data may further include the parent's country of origin, parental cognitive tests, parental language tests, and parental social skills tests.
[0029] In one embodiment, the parental variable data may include the parent's IARVPPD, where IARVPPD may be the total duration of time spent on an invasive ventilator.
[0030] In one embodiment, the newborn's physical data may include the newborn's head circumference, Apgar score, and birth weight. Here, the Apgar score may be a scoring system designed to quickly assess the newborn's health status immediately after birth.
[0031] In another embodiment, the newborn's head circumference and birth weight may be included. For example, the brain:body weight ratio (BBR) value between the newborn's head circumference and birth weight may be calculated.
[0032]
[0033] Here, BBR can represent weight ratio, head can represent head circumference, and weight can represent birth weight.
[0034] In operation 203, the electronic device (101) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) may input parental physical data, parental environmental data, parental variable data, and newborn physical data into a prediction model to determine a developmental disability value of the newborn. According to one embodiment, the prediction model may be learned based on a plurality of parental physical data, a plurality of parental environmental data, a plurality of parental variable data, and a plurality of newborns born from a plurality of parents and a plurality of newborns' developmental disability values.
[0035] In one embodiment, the regression model may utilize any type of algorithm, such as linear regression, logistic regression, regression tree, support vector regression, or kernel regression. These are examples only and are not limiting.
[0036] Although not shown, the electronic device (101) may include an evaluation step for evaluating the performance of the prediction model during the learning process of the prediction model. In the evaluation step, the prediction model may be evaluated using an evaluation data set. The evaluation of the prediction model may be a step for evaluating the prediction model learned through the learning step and making predictions for new data using the prediction model. Specifically, the evaluation step may be a step for measuring whether the learned prediction model is capable of generalization to new data. For example, the electronic device (101) may measure the root mean square error (RMSE) based on the estimated developmental disability value of the newborn and the developmental disability value of the newborn derived from the liver magnetic resonance elastography to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction method.
[0037] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) may be set to determine that there is a neurodevelopmental disorder if the value obtained from the following [Mathematical Formula 1] obtained as a result of learning the prediction model is greater than a preset value.

[0039] (1)
[0040] (2)Estimated probability:
[0041] Here, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H may represent weight values derived from the learning results of the prediction model. In addition, the data values in [Mathematical Formula 1] may vary depending on the data values extracted from multiple users. In addition, sex may represent gender, parity may represent fertility, amnionic fluid may represent the amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy, marriage may represent whether the parents are married, diabetes may represent diabetes, gestational age may represent the gestational age of the newborn, and BBR may represent the weight ratio between the newborn's head and birth weight.
[0042] In operation 205, the electronic device (101) (e.g., the processor (120) of FIG. 1) may determine that the newborn has a neurodevelopmental disorder if the developmental disorder value of the newborn exceeds a threshold value. According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may set the preset value to 0.252, and may extract from [Mathematical Formula 1] described above. If the value is confirmed to be greater than the preset value of 0.276, the newborn may be judged to have a neurodevelopmental disorder. According to another embodiment, the extracted [Mathematical Formula 1] described above If the value is confirmed to be less than the preset value of 0.252, it can be determined that the newborn is likely not to have a neurodevelopmental disorder.
[0043] In one embodiment, a regression-based predictive model can determine whether a newborn has a neurodevelopmental disorder based on whether the developmental disorder value determined by the model exceeds a specific threshold. For example, the predictive model can determine that the newborn has a neurodevelopmental disorder if the determined developmental disorder value exceeds the threshold, and can determine that the newborn does not have a neurodevelopmental disorder if the determined developmental disorder value is below the threshold.
