"Promising Results: Tablet-Based AI App Shows Potential in Autism Screening Study"

A tablet-based screening application called SenseToKnow has shown promise in improving early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health. The app demonstrated 87.8% sensitivity and 80.8% specificity in detecting ASD, accurately identifying toddlers who may require further investigation. By reducing disparities in early diagnosis and intervention, the app could ensure that children and families receive the necessary support. The study highlights the importance of developing accurate ASD screening tools and linking positive screening results to appropriate referrals and services.
