Problem
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience difficulties in social interaction and communication, which can hinder their ability to form meaningful relationships and succeed in educational and professional settings. Traditional interventions may lack personalization and engagement, leading to inconsistent participation and limited skill generalization.
Solution
BioStream Technologies is developing a video game therapy that combines applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles with gaze-contingent eye-tracking technology to improve emotion recognition and social skills in children with ASD. The platform delivers personalized, adaptive training scenarios within an engaging video game environment, allowing children to practice social interactions in a comfortable setting. By integrating real-time feedback based on the child's gaze and responses, the game dynamically adjusts the difficulty and content to optimize learning and skill development. The goal is to provide a fun and effective way for children with ASD to enhance their social competence and confidence.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families, as well as therapists, educators, and clinicians specializing in autism intervention.
