Researchers at Duke University have demonstrated an app driven by AI that can run on a tablet to accurately screen for autism in children by measuring and weighing a variety of distinct behavioral indicators.
Improving accuracy of screening would reduce disparities in early diagnosis and intervention. A tablet-based screening application for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may improve early detection, suggests a study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Early detection is critical for access t
<p>Researchers at Duke University have demonstrated an AI app that accurately screens for autism in children by measuring a variety of distinct behavioral indicators. The app evaluates the quality of the data, the confidence of its results and the probability that the child has autism. The results spell out exactly which of the behavioral indicators led to its conclusions. The app could help eliminate known disparities in early autism diagnosis and intervention.</p>
