Embodiment Construction

[0040] According to the present invention there is provided a method for assessing the risk of a neurodevelopmental disorder in a child.

[0041] The method first includes the step of providing a machine comprising a display screen (5), an eye tracking device (10), a controller (15) configured to display on the display screen (5) information and read and record eye position data from the eye tracking device (10).

[0042] The machine may be, for example, a portable personal computer or tablet computer with an eye-tracking device attached. Various commercially available eye-tracking devices can be used, such as Tobii Technology's 4C Eye Tracker model or SensoMotoric Instruments' RED-m or ISCAN Corporation's RK-464 model or EyeTech's TM5 Mini. These eye-tracking devices come with appropriate control software which, once installed and running, enables the controller (15) (usually the computer itself) to read and record eye positions from the eye-tracking device (10) data. The ...

Abstract

A method is provided in order to evaluate a risk of child having a neurodevelopmental disorder. Firstly, a first and a second information are shown simultaneously to the child at two different placeson a display screen (5). Then the first and second information are removed from the display screen (5) for a while and meanwhile movements of the eye of the child are tracked and recorded. Next, a third information is displayed on the display screen (5), at a location where the second information was previously displayed. This sequence is repeated a number of times. Next, a score for the child isestablished in function of the movements of his eye(s) as recorded while the first and second information were removed from the display screen (5). This score gives an indication of a risk of neurodevelopmental disorder with the child.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for assessing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children, and more particularly to methods and devices for assessing the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. Background technique [0002] International patent publication WO 2015 / 057321 discloses a method which, although fundamentally different, is in a field close to that of the present invention. [0003] According to this known method, first eye movement data of the child are collected during a first period (the child is shown a first visual stimulus) and during a second period (the child is shown a second visual stimulus ) to collect the second eye movement data of the same child. The first eye movement data and the second eye movement data are then compared to each other to identify changes in the child's visual fixation on the two visual stimuli. Decreased visual fixation has been described as a marker of a child's dev...
