| Abstract: |
| AutomAtism is a unique, smart, user-friendly & cost-effective desktop & mobile based screening process following standard scientific guidelines (DSM-5-TR) using primary and secondary data for pre-diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our automated decision support process helps clinical psychiatrists for early and accurate assessments & parents/guardians to monitor child development. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| No medical test can diagnose ASD. Thus, diagnostic delays are obvious due to unawareness of disease in society, time intensive and significant cost of assessment strategies, disease complexity & limited clinical psychiatrists; hence a tech support is inevitable for concerned professionals/parents. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| AutomAtism will be a reliable tech support providing e-opinion of disease likelihood to about 400 qualified psychiatrists, 344 residential care facilities, 654 psychiatric units in general hospitals & 2 % of suspected ASD patients & associated parents. Hence a step of supporting neglected spheres. |
| How will the solution works |
| First phase is development of standardized process for various age groups using AI to predict disease likelihood satisfying DSM-5-TR using primary/secondary data. Second phase, product development with embedded database that requires input regarding socio-demographic features and associated details of suspected patient for disease likelihood as output. Next is pilot deployment for testing/validation, likely in Psychiatry dept, Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rwp followed by product launching & business |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| “ASDTest” is another app for ASD screening but lacks support of standard guidelines, i.e. DSM-5-TR. It incorporates social & communication interactions but ignores assessments of restricted & repetitive behavior. “AutomAtism” is a complete, validated, data driven tech support for decision making. |
