ASCmeI.T. App Helps People With Autism Influence Tech Solutions
A team of researchers from the University of Sussex and University of Southampton have built an interesting new solution to get inputs from people with autism so that they become the ones to suggest ideas about the kind of solutions they need developed by the best brains in town. The team has achieved this by creating a new, free-to-use mobile app called 'ASCmeI.T.' that is available on both Google Play Store for Android and iTunes store for Apple devices. The app lets those with Autism Spectrum Conditions to share ideas on what kind of technologies could help them best in tackling day-to-day problems they face. The ASCmeI.T. app can also be used by the families of autistic patients as well as teachers and other professionals who support someone with autism.
The app lets users upload one minute long videos where they talk about their idea that can make their own life a bit easier. These ideas can give suggestions about new technology, service transitions or delivery.
It turns out that around one in every hundred in the UK is living with autism. Compared to that, the number of solutions being developed to cater to their problems is significantly less. Therefore, there's a dire need for such an app to exist.
