Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Improve Social Communication in Autistic Individuals

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Stanford University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to identify whether researched and commonly used face-to-face interventions can be effectively implemented through artificial intelligence (AI) using an application on the phone or computer. The investigators plan to recruit individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who demonstrate challenges with social communication. Modules focusing on various difficulties experienced by autistic individuals will provide practice and feedback using voice recognition and feedback. If effective, this intervention can be scaled up to provide cost-effective accessible assistance to individuals, particularly those who do not have access to care or prefer to secure services in the comfort of their own homes.
