Allowing Intuition to Spur Earlier Action From: Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry - 06/2016 Cognoa offers an assessment tool for parents to conduct a child development screening at home. The Cognoa platform, which can be used for children 18 months to seven years old, doesn't provide a diagnosis but does give a detailed evaluation of a child's skills for qualitative discussion with a pediatrician. The company describes the technology as "giv[ing] parents peace of mind by identifying where a child is on track and what parents can do to help the child improve." Parents answer simple questions about their child's behavior and skills, and can upload short videos as well. The information gathered is used to evaluate development. Cognoa doesn't just look for autism. Developmental delays of all kinds - speech, language, and ADHD among them - are surprisingly common, occurring in one in six US kids.
