The work involves the development of software that allows the use of laptops for tracking gaze. babies between two and seven months, and thus establish the ocular reaction of children from images, people and / or videos, and determine if risk of autism. The project earned $ 20,000 for implementing the treatment.
The Argentine draft prepared by the foundation Emily Fenichel together with researchers from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DIEC) of the Universidad Nacional del Sur ( UNS), under the name “Early diagnosis of autism through eye-tracking” was the best job prsentados Latin America under the Grants competition FRIDA (Regional Fund for Digital Innovation in Latin America and the Region) in . the area of Health, Science and Technology
Autistic children are characterized by avoiding direct look into his eyes look ears, chin or peripherally when they have a face before. The project provides a mechanism for economic diagnosis, within reach of any office because, lately the births of autistic children increased from six to ten times. So, the sooner this condition is detected in a child, the better the prospects for treatment. In some cases, depending on the type of intervention, it is possible that children achieve recovery.
The Argentine device was created so that their scope is full, develops software with the same principles of eyetracker (tracked Eye ), the existing but very expensive device. Platform open source and royalty free, which will be distributed and used in ways hassle free usage rights are used. In turn, the software will contain information in a database of common use, so that they can carry out statistics, establish cross-sectional studies of patients.
