MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611009050 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Jan. 29, for 'a web-based eye-gaze system for preliminary autism spectrum disorder screening.'
Inventor(s) include Nancy Verma; Amisha Singh; Stuti Pandey; and Ashish Pandey.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a web-based, non-invasive system and method for preliminary screening and risk assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using eye-gaze analysis and artificial intelligence. The system utilizes a standard webcam of an internet-enabled computing device to capture real-time eye-gaze data while a user is presented with structured visual stimuli comprising social and non-social images. The captured gaze data is processed to extract temporal and spatial features including fixation duration, gaze distribution, and viewing time ratios. The extracted features are analyzed using a trained artificial intelligence model to generate a probability score indicative of ASD-related visual attention behavior. Based on the probability score, the system provides a categorized risk-based output representing low, moderate, or high likelihood of ASD. The invention eliminates the need for specialized eye-tracking hardware and clinical supervision, enabling scalable, cost-effective, and accessible preliminary screening."
