iPhone camera will try to detect childhood autism
The technology that Apple is working on will not only be limited to analyzing depression and cognitive developmental delay. The company is also conducting joint research with Duke University in California, focusing on the human brain. According to reports, Apple plans to create an algorithm to help detect childhood-onset autism.
By utilizing iPhone cameras, the algorithm will not observe what toddlers focus on daily and how often they move back and forth. In addition, he will try to understand other symptoms, which are scientifically proven to be the beginning of autism, with the help of the phone’s cameras. According to The Wall Street Journal, it is still too early for Apple’s technology to materialize. However, company executives are quite hopeful that this will be possible.
