AutiAid: A learning mobile application for autistic children

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the major mental disorders in terms of neurodevelopment brain functions. The three types of symptoms which Autistic patients exhibit are: social development, difficulty in communication and unusual behavior. Unfortunately, based on the nature of ASD, it cannot be diagnosed through the help of applications. However, applications can be a tremendous help in monitoring and the treatment of patients. This work presents an architectural solution that enables the interoperability between an autistic person and caregivers to contribute on the treatment and monitoring to persons with ASD. The solution is implemented by creating a mobile application and tested with a population in an Autism center. The results show that the application made a positive treatment contribution to a person with ASD.
