NAVIA — Neurodiversity Assessment and Voice-enabled Intervention AI

Design framework for early screening and intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with multimodal AI technologies. .

Overview

NAVIA aims to pioneer a holistic framework for advancing early screening and intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by integrating multimodal AI technologies, with a strong emphasis on ethical and inclusive practices.


Objectives

  • Multimodal Detector: Develop AI models to detect early behavioral and speech-related indicators of ASD.
  • Pre-Screening Support: Generate comprehensive pre-diagnostic reports to assist clinicians in early-stage screening.
  • Multimodal Dataset: Build a richly annotated dataset capturing speech and behavioral cues associated with ASD.

Intervention Platform

NAVIA will also deliver an AI-powered therapy support platform designed for clinicians and caregivers. This system will generate personalized speech and language therapy exercises tailored to each child’s unique profile, addressing:

  • Expressive and receptive language delays
  • Prosodic anomalies (e.g., pitch, rhythm, stress)
  • Behavioral and communicative needs
