Innovation Insights: Gamification in Pediatric Autism Diagnosis and Treatment

Wednesday, February 21, 2024, 12:00 PM - Saturday, February 20, 2027, 11:59 AM, On Demand

Today, we speak with Dr. Dennis Wall, Professor of Pediatrics (Clinical Informatics) at Stanford University School of Medicine, regarding the integration of gamification in healthcare, with a specific focus on its application in diagnosing and treating autism among children. Within his laboratory, strides are being made to decipher the molecular pathology of autism spectrum disorder and related neurological disorders. Join us as we explore the transformative potential of utilizing cutting-edge tools, such as, gamification in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental disorders in pediatric patients.
