AutoPlay: a smart toys-kit for an objective analysis of children ludic behavior and development (original) (raw)

2018 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA), 2018

Abstract

AutoPlay is the name of an innovative idea to promote healthy childhood. It aims at anticipating the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders, neuro developmental disorders and social fragilities. AutoPlay exploits data collected during ludic activities and translates them into clinical and social information. In this paper we describe the concept, design and manufacturing of the first AutoPlay toys-kit prototype. We also present its very first application in a feasibility study. We demonstrated that it is possible to answer the need of capturing useful information related to infant (9–15 months) ludic activity, in an ecological environment. The toys-kit is the result of an inter-disciplinary collaboration, which has merged evenly clinical and technological perspectives and requirements. We managed to clarify what the available technologies can offer to pediatricians and social operators, and how it is be possible to measure the quality of toys manipulation.
