A Hong Kong scientist has developed a method to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to scan retinas of children as young as six to detect early autism or the risk of autism and hopes to develop a commercial product this year.His method uses a high-resolution camera with new computer software that analyses a combination of factors including fibre layers and blood vessels in the eye.The technology can be used to identify children at risk of autism and get them into treatment programmes soonerhttps://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/scientist-develops-retinal-scanner-to-identify-childhood-autism-20210315-p57au6.html
