Определяет эффективность зрительных и слуховых систем: приложение для оценки сенсорных особенностей людей разработали в УрФУ

The application was originally created for children with special needs, but it can be useful for users of any age

Scientists at the Ural Federal University have developed a program that allows you to assess a person's sensory abilities. With the help of this program, you can determine how effectively the visual, auditory, tactile and other perception systems work.

The program also helps to identify risks associated with a person's stay in a certain environment, and provides recommendations for supporting sensory systems that do not work well enough.

The scientific team of UrFU has created and patented an application for assessing the sensory characteristics of people. With the help of the application, you can determine how effectively we use visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive (sense of your body), vestibular, taste, olfactory systems, and understand what can be improved. It also helps to determine the risks of a person's stay in the environment and provides recommendations for supporting sensory systems that have deficits.

The application was created for children with special needs, but it turned out to be useful for everyone. It helps people of any age and health condition. The Russian Science Foundation supported its development.

The application is aimed at parents and teachers. It helps to identify sensory characteristics and deficits in children.

The application does not allow to determine the physical condition of hearing or vision, it is aimed at assessing perception, that is, how holistically we perceive an object, recognize its properties, highlight the main and secondary, and so on.

The application will tell you in what conditions it is best for people to study, live, work and relax. It will also help you choose the optimal color solutions, the size of objects and explain how this affects perception, productivity and a sense of comfort.

Earlier, scientists from Tolyatti University created artificial intelligence for early diagnosis of COPD. The system analyzes the patient's cough sounds and computed tomography data. After processing, it gives an accurate diagnosis with an error probability of only 0.03%.
