This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether a smartphone app called BlinkLab can help doctors diagnose autism in children ages 3 to 12. The app measures how children's eyes and faces react to sounds and visual stimuli by watching them watch a short movie. Researchers will compare how children with a formal autism diagnosis respond to the app compared to children without autism, using computer vision to track their facial movements.
Currently, diagnosing autism requires lengthy clinical evaluations by specialists, and there aren't enough trained doctors to meet demand in many communities. This study aims to develop a quick, easy-to-use tool that could help identify autism earlier and more efficiently, especially in areas where specialist care is hard to access.
If you join this study, your child will complete two short sessions on a smartphone, each lasting about 15 minutes. During each session, your child will watch a short movie while wearing headphones that deliver occasional sounds; the smartphone camera will track your child's eye movements and facial expressions using computer software. The whole process is non-invasive, involves no injections or blood tests, and happens in one or two visits.
