Canvas Dx: A New Way to Diagnose or Rule Out Autism
In the first years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections
are formed and shaped every second. Early childhood marks one of the most
rapid periods of growth and development for the human brain. Therefore,
early identification and diagnosis of developmental delay, including conditions
such as autism, and subsequent early treatment plans, support life-changing
improvements for children and their families.
Canvas Dx gives you and your doctor the opportunity to know more sooner,
so you can act earlier
Canvas Dx is the first FDA authorized technology that helps your doctor
diagnose or rule out autism in children between the ages of 18 and 72 months
Canvas Dx can help shorten the time to diagnosis – from months or
even years, to days
From a secure and simple app in the comfort of your own home, you will:
Answer a few, short, multiple choice questions about your child
Record and upload two short videos of your child’s natural behavior
Your doctor will also answer questions about your child’s behavior
and development
Canvas Dx then puts all this information together and produces a result
your doctor will use to inform potential diagnoses or rule out autism
to better plan next steps for your child.
