AI Tool Developed in India Screens Autism in Just Five Minutes

Enables Faster Autism Screening

A New Delhi–based startup has developed a five-minute AI-powered screening tool designed to help identify early signs of autism and speech-language disorders in young children. The tool, Neurolens by Gabify, is built to support early detection and reduce delays in assessment.

Built by Neurodivergent Innovators

The platform was developed by a team that includes autistic innovators, bringing lived experience into product design. The company states that inclusion is embedded structurally, with neurodivergent professionals involved in core development and decision-making.

How the Screening Works

The AI tool analyses: • Speech samples • Eye contact and facial expressions • Social response patterns Caregivers submit recordings using a mobile device, and the system evaluates behavioural and acoustic indicators used in clinical assessments.

Clinical Frameworks and Languages

The platform has reportedly completed over 2,500 screenings within four months and is currently used by therapists, clinics, and early-intervention centres. Developers claim the tool reduces assessment time by up to 75–80%, while supporting clinicians rather than replacing them.

Why Early Screening Is Gaining Attention

With increasing autism prevalence reported post-pandemic, early pre-screening tools are gaining visibility across India. Experts note that faster identification may help families access therapy sooner, particularly in regions with limited specialist availability.
