Globally there are two major mental health conditions that are spreading throughout our population: autism for kids and depression for adults. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve the lives of affected people but also reduce the costs of lifelong care by 2/3 rds. By making early diagnostics easy and widely available, we could positively affect millions of people. This technology can be put into any mobile application or game, where the diagnosis process would run in the background automatically, without any professional’s assistance. By applying data mining and machine learning algorithms Harimata will develop models for identifying behavioural patterns which indicate a particular disorder.
