Smartphone app aims to spot autism in kids
NCT ID NCT07590973
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a smartphone app called BlinkLab Dx1 can help doctors diagnose autism in children ages 2 to 11. The app shows videos and sounds, then measures how children react. Parents also answer questions about their child's development. The goal is to see if the app can correctly tell which children have autism and which do not. This study does not provide any treatment.
