Base lang sa sulat-kamay pwede nang makita kung may neuro-developmental disability ang isang bata tulad ng ADHD at autism. Para makatulong sa early detection niyan bumuo ng smart pen ang mga researcher ng UST na gumagamit ng AI. Tara let's change the game!

00:10Based on the handwriting,
00:12we can now see if a child has a neurodevelopmental disability,
00:16like ADHD or autism.
00:19To help with early detection,
00:21SmartPen created the researchers of UST
00:24who use AI.
00:27Let's go!
00:27Let's change the game!
00:29🎵 Intro Music 🎵
00:34Many kids nowadays
00:36use smartphones or tablets by hand.
00:39But did you know that handwriting is still a big thing?
00:43Writing is also used as a basis
00:46to see if a child has a neurodevelopmental disability,
00:50like ADHD or autism.
00:53In studies,
00:5460-80% of kids with neurodevelopmental disability
00:59have a handwriting impairment.
01:02To help with early detection,
01:05an AI-based SmartPen was created
01:08that can write.
01:10Short for
01:11Intelligent Stroke Utilization Learning Assessment and Testing.
01:16Headed by Engineer Edison Rojas
01:18of the UST Faculty of Engineering,
01:20the College of Rehabilitation Science of the University of Santo Tomas is located here.
01:25It was funded by the DOST Philippine Council for Health Research and Development.
01:30Handwriting is a window to a child's development.
01:35Just by holding a pen
01:38in writing or stroke patterns,
01:42we can get an idea
01:45if this child has or does not have a handwriting impairment.
01:50What is written?
01:52There are sensors to record every stroke,
01:56the in and the out of stroke.
01:59It is also AI-based for a quick and accurate assessment.
02:03In the traditional way,
02:05they use handwriting manuals that are not cheap.
02:09With the use of our pen,
02:11we replicate the way of analyzing
02:16traditional handwriting manuals.
02:18And because this is for children aged 6 to 10 years old,
02:22they also made a gamified app
02:24to keep the children engaged in the assessment.
02:27We will now hold this smart pen
02:31that we will use in the test.
02:33And the gamified app is projected here.
02:37Currently, the RightQuest has 15 levels
02:40where the child will be asked to write different shapes and letters.
02:44While writing, it records the stroke pattern,
02:50the in or pressure,
02:52the angle, and the speed of writing.
02:56According to Engineer Edison,
02:58handwriting assessment tools like this
03:01are very useful to help occupational therapists in the country.
03:06It is also more accessible for remote areas.
03:10It was also written in the last National Science Innovation Week of DOST.
03:16There you have it, Kapuso!
03:18A straightforward assessment tool that is a game changer
03:21when it comes to early detection of ADHD or autism.
03:25For GMA Integrated News,
03:27I am Martin Aviar,
03:29Changing the Game!
