Early Autism detection with ASDetect.

The Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre (OTARC) is Australia’s first centre dedicated to research on Autism Spectrum Disorders, and they came to us with an idea for an app that would allow parents to detect ASD symptoms at the earliest opportunity.

Our challenge was to collate reams of research and information around ASD and convert it to an easily accessible format. ASDetect was born, enabling parents and caregivers to assess the social attention and communication behaviors of their children younger than 2½ years.

ASDetect guides parents through each assessment using a combination of informative videos and questions, and is followed by a comprehensive on-screen report, with results ranging from a low to high likelihood of autism.

Launch of australian research initiative attracts global attention and investment along with 5500 user assessments in first few months.
