MANILA, Philippines — Researchers from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) have developed an artificial intelligence-powered smart pen designed to analyze handwriting patterns for potential signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cognitive load, and other developmental conditions, offering a new approach to early childhood screening and intervention.
The technology, known as iSULAT (Intelligent Stroke Utilization, Learning, Assessment, and Testing), was created through a collaboration among the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Engineering (https://www.ust.edu.ph/engineering/), the University of Santo Tomas College of Rehabilitation Sciences (https://www.ust.edu.ph/rehabilitation-sciences/), and the National Research Council of the Philippines' Young Scientists Research Grant Program (https://nrcp.dost.gov.ph/call-for-proposals-young-scientists-research-grant/).
