CogniABle

    Introduction


    CogniABle is a healthcare startup in India that is using deep learning and machine learning-driven assistive technology for early detection and affordable treatment of developmental disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, learning disability, and many more.


    Founded in 2018 by Prathosh AP and Manu Kohli, the machine learning technology provides personalized clinical insights for the children based on disease progression with clinical guidelines, assessment tools, treatment plans, medical resources, and many more. The goal is a higher quality of care.


    Features


    Medical studies have shown that a significant amount of children in India face developmental and neurological disorders, with numbers reaching up to 11 million. Due to the limited availability of clinicians in the country, many kids go undiagnosed. Even if they are diagnosed it usually takes place at a much later stage which leaves them with untapped cognitive potential.


    CogniABle tries to shift the demographic in a positive direction with its AI-based decision support system. With the help of data-based solutions, CogniABle has been able to prepone early detection by around 1.5 years of age compared to the present 4 years age which considerably enhances the quality of life of the child on autism.
