Objective Assessment Application for Preschool Child Development

Abstract

Current developmental screening tests are typically subjectively evaluated making them susceptible to bias and are time- and resource-intensive. We present here the development of a tablet application for developmental screening incorporating fine motor and language tests. The tablet application was built with modularity in mind to ease the process of adaptation for cultural and age-appropriate conversions. An accompanying assessment pipeline was constructed to automatically process the data from the tablet assessment into several different metrics. The initial results indicate the usefulness and feasibility of the proposed application.
