in Scientific Research
Transforming Scientific Research with AI and Biosignal Processing
ACHA, Shen.ai and Smart People Technology SL ( EHR2PHR ) are proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration: SMART LAB – a state-of-the-art platform designed to revolutionize scientific research and data analysis. Combining the expertise of both companies, SMART LAB introduces a highly adaptable and innovative environment for data science, machine learning, and statistical analysis.
Through the synergy of advanced video processing and biosignal extraction technology, SMART LAB is set to redefine how researchers analyze and interpret health-related data, paving the way for a healthier future.
The Vision: SMART LAB in Action
SMART LAB is more than a tool; it’s a collaborative ecosystem designed to streamline the research process. By leveraging cutting-edge technology such as AI-powered facial video analysis and hierarchical computation pipelines, SMART LAB aims to accelerate the discovery of biomarkers, optimize healthcare insights, and improve patient outcomes globally.
Transforming Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Detection with AI-Powered Innovation
The Challenge of Early Diagnosis
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1 in 100 children globally, with significantly higher prevalence in regions like the USA, where rates have reached 1 in 44 children. Early diagnosis is critical for improving quality of life, as timely interventions within the first two years of life can mitigate symptoms or, in some cases, prevent the onset of ASD. Despite advancements in diagnostic tools, most ASD diagnoses occur late, limiting the window for effective intervention.
The SMART LAB platform leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect early warning signs of ASD. Combining tools like the PREAUT questionnaire, M-CHAT, VOICE- Analytic and AI-powered video analysis, SMART LAB enables an innovative approach to analyzing mother-infant interactions during routine medical consultations.
The Role of Early Detection in ASD Prevention
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
- Brain Plasticity Window: Intervening during the critical period of brain development can reshape developmental trajectories.
- Behavioral Basis: As Dr. Ami Klin highlights, behaviors influence brain development, creating opportunities for early intervention to alter outcomes.
- Mental Health Impact: Early diagnosis can alleviate the significant psychological burden on families, especially mothers, who experience high rates of anxiety and depression associated with ASD.
SMART LAB Study Highlights: Using AI to Revolutionize ASD Detection
Objectives
- Validate AI for Early ASD Risk Identification:
- Compare AI-driven detection with traditional tools like PREAUT and M-CHAT.
- Evaluate AI’s capacity to analyze videos of mother-baby interactions for early ASD markers.
- Empower Pediatricians with Simple Tools:
- Integrate AI into routine consultations for faster and more precise ASD risk detection.
- Facilitate early referrals to specialists, optimizing intervention timelines.
SMART LAB Enhancements for Early ASD Detection
The Challenge of Early Diagnosis
Comprehensive Biosignal Analysis
SMART LAB provides advanced capabilities for analyzing facial expressions, gestures, and vocal prosody, offering insights that go beyond traditional diagnostic methods. These innovations help identify subtle markers of ASD, such as atypical motor patterns or reduced social engagement, that might otherwise be missed.
Real-Time Feedback for Clinicians
With SMART LAB’s user-friendly graphical interface, pediatricians can receive real-time analysis during routine visits. This feature enables immediate decision-making, improving the likelihood of early referrals and effective intervention.
Family-Friendly Engagement
Through tools like the HealthyCam application, SMART LAB empowers families to participate actively in the diagnostic process by submitting home interaction videos. These additional data points enrich AI analysis, offering a more holistic understanding of the child’s development
