Deeper understanding, a smoother path.
AUTIVA helps specialists see a fuller picture for autism assessment, from short videos of everyday life — for children and adults. The decision always stays with the specialist.
Before the answer
Between the first question and the first answer, the road is often long.
For parents worried about their child, and for adults who have asked themselves for years, this gap can feel long and confusing. In Germany, appointments at specialised centres are hard to get, and waiting times are sometimes more than a year.
A fuller picture
Everyday life, beside the specialist's view.
People don't behave at home and in everyday life the way they do in a short appointment. AUTIVA reviews short videos for what can be seen and heard, and organises what it finds for the specialist.
- Every finding is linked to its exact moment in the video.
- Where the evidence is not enough, the report says “not assessable”.
- Each finding comes with a status and a confidence, and a plain-language version for families. The report is available in five languages.

Analysis — illustrative example
The specialist decides
Technology supports. The decision stays with the specialist.
AUTIVA supports the specialist's assessment and does not replace a diagnosis. No report is final without the specialist's review and approval.
AUTIVA is in its research phase and is not yet a CE-marked medical device.
Safe, simple, calm
Trust starts with data.
Videos are processed in the EU, deleted automatically within 72 hours of upload by default, and never used to train our models.
