This Project Grant award, provided under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), seeks to co-design an AI-based solution for collecting and analyzing behavior data to support coordinated care for children with autism spectrum disorder (CWA).

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), the prime awardee, will partner with community stakeholders in a pilot study in San Antonio, TX to develop an AI-augmented platform for CWA care. The $149,999 award will fund the planning process to identify key platform parameters, evaluate AI algorithms for data fusion, and assess the effects of incorporating the prototype IoT-edge-cloud solution into clinical practices through post-surveys and focus groups. This project aims to improve health outcomes for autistic children and the well-being of their families by leveraging AI to enhance the delivery of evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy.
