Artificial Intelligence Provides Easy Autism Diagnosis in Minutes

By Boyer emaxhealth.com

The problem with obtaining a diagnosis

of whether or not your child may have autism is the fact that trained

clinicians are backlogged with requests for autism testing. This is in

part due to that the incidence of autism is high (now 1 in 88) and the

testing procedures are lengthy requiring hours rather than minutes for

a proper evaluation.

Autism is typically diagnosed though a

93-question questionnaire called the “Autism Diagnostic Interview,

Revised†(ADI-R) test and/or via a behavior observation evaluation of

the child in question with the “Autism Diagnostic Observation Scheduleâ€

(ADOS) exam.

The ADOS exam consists of 4

age-dependent modules that contain semi-structured activities designed

to measure social interaction, communication, play and imaginative use

of materials. Module 1 contains 10 activities and 29 items and is

typically used for assessment of younger children.

Both the ADI-R and ADOS exams can take

up to 3 hours or more and must be performed by a trained clinician with

experience in diagnosing autism. One of the shortcomings aside from

time is that the test results are analyzed subjectively and thereby

prone to suffer from human error.

To remedy the backlog, time spent

diagnosing and human error, researchers from Harvard Medical School

have found a way using artificial intelligence to more accurately

detect autism in children and establish a diagnosis in minutes rather

than hours.
