Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology (2026)

This systematic review examined the use of serious gaming and eye-tracking technologies for the screening, monitoring, and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. The study identified emerging digital approaches capable of supporting earlier detection and more accessible assessment pathways for conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and related learning difficulties.

2. An ethical proof-of-authority blockchain framework for anti-corruption in public grant disbursement and fundraising: a multi-level governance and threat-modelled approach

Authors from ABSPIE: Muhammad Farooq Shaikh and Davide Piaggio
Frontiers in Blockchain (2026)

This work proposed a governance-focused blockchain framework designed to improve transparency, accountability, and fraud prevention in public grant distribution and fundraising ecosystems. The framework integrates Proof-of-Authority consensus, smart contracts, and threat modelling to strengthen trust and ethical governance within public funding environments.
