• Title: Can viewer proximity be a behavioural marker for Autism Spectrum Disorder?
• Authors: Rahul Bishain, Sharat Chandran
• Abstract summary: This paper reports the first use of the efficacy of using the observer's distance from the display screen while administering a sensory sensitivity test as a behavioural marker for autism for children aged 2-7 years. The potential for using a test such as this in casual home settings is promising.

• Abstract: Screening for any of the Autism Spectrum Disorders is a complicated process often involving a hybrid of behavioural observations and questionnaire based tests. Typically carried out in a controlled setting, this process requires trained clinicians or psychiatrists for such assessments. Riding on the wave of technical advancement in mobile platforms, several attempts have been made at incorporating such assessments on mobile and tablet devices. In this paper we analyse videos generated using one such screening test. This paper reports the first use of the efficacy of using the observer's distance from the display screen while administering a sensory sensitivity test as a behavioural marker for autism for children aged 2-7 years The potential for using a test such as this in casual home settings is promising.

  Agitation is one of the neuropsychiatric symptoms with high prevalence in dementia. Detecting agitation episodes can assist in providing People Living with Dementia (PLWD) with early and timely interventions. This preliminary study presents a supervised learning model to analyse the risk of agitation in PLWD using in-home monitoring data.

  We demonstrate that by monitoring a user's gaze as they watch commonplace (i.e., not specialized, structured or coded) video, we can identify individuals with autism spectrum disorder. We recruited 35 autistic and 25 non-autistic individuals, and captured their gaze using an off-the-shelf eye tracker connected to a laptop. Within 15 seconds, our approach was 92.5% accurate at identifying individuals with an autism diagnosis.
