Prof. Shyam Rajagopalan from IBAB, in collaboration with researchers and clinicians from the Center for Advanced Research and Excellence in Autism and Developmental Disorders (CARE-ADD), St. John’s National Academy of Health Sciences, Bengaluru, and the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIITB), have developed a new AI/ML model to assist clinicians towards detection of Autism by analysing child’s play behaviour videos. By capturing child behaviour videos using novel play-based interaction protocols customized to the Indian context, this study may enable the deployment of AI/ML solutions in primary health care centres in remote regions of India. The work, which is currently under peer review, was presented at the Bangalore Tech Summit 2024 and covered by The Hindu.
