Determines the effectiveness of visual and auditory systems: An application for assessing sensory characteristics of people was developed at UrFU

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

Scientists at Ural Federal University have developed a program that allows assessing a person's sensory abilities. With this program, it is possible to determine how effectively the visual, auditory, tactile, and other perception systems work.

The program also helps identify risks associated with a person's presence in a specific environment and provides recommendations for supporting sensory systems that are not working well enough.

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

The application was created for children with developmental disabilities, 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 identify sensory characteristics and deficits in children.

The application does not allow determining 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 aspects, and so on.

The application will suggest the best conditions for people to learn, live, work, and relax. It will also help choose optimal color solutions, object sizes, and explain how this affects perception, productivity, and a sense of comfort.

Previously, 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 provides an accurate diagnosis with an error probability of only 0.03%.
