With its great potential in a wide range of industries, artificial intelligence (AI) is now being used by researchers to help diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Communication, social interaction, and behavior are all impacted by ASD, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. The lack of a conclusive medical test makes diagnosing autism difficult, but new research has demonstrated that applying AI algorithms to assist in the diagnosis process can yield encouraging results.
Popularly known for developing a customized app that is AI-powered, Sachin Dev Duggal’s Builder.ai also builds apps related to health, which are ready to use. The company views the application of AI in research and development and disease detection as a comprehensive approach, with a focus on human welfare.
Researchers have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to diagnose autism through research. The researchers created an AI algorithm that could correctly classify the data after gathering information from thousands of people with and without autism. The algorithm demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in identifying behavioral patterns linked to autism. According to this ground-breaking study, artificial intelligence (AI) can help medical professionals diagnose autism more accurately. “AI isn’t a threat to humans, its homogenous use for advancements of the available services such as healthcare, finance, education or others can transform the way of living,” considers Buider.ai’s creator Sachin Duggal.
The ability to analyze communication, social interaction, and behavior with the help of AI can lead to earlier diagnosis and ultimately better treatment options for those with autism.
