The present disclosure provides methods of treating Autism Spectrum Disorder. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods of using cord blood tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hCT-MSCs) to treat Autism Spectrum Disorder. The methods involve treating a patient having or suspected of having an Autism Spectrum Disorder by administering a therapeutically effective amount of hCT-MSCs.

Methods of assessing and treating autism spectrum disorders using human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells

The present disclosure provides methods for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods of using cord blood for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders.

Methods for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for conducting an automatic assessment of postural control of a subject. According to one aspect, a method occurs at a computing platform including a processor and memory. The method includes displaying a stimulus to which a subject responds, capturing facial image data of the subject, analyzing the facial image data to determine a frequency of head displacement information associated with the subject, using the head displacement information to derive postural control assessment data, and determining that the postural control assessment data is indicative of a neurodevelopmental or neuropsychiatric disorder associated with the subject.

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated attention assessment. According to one method, a method for automated attention assessment includes obtaining head and iris positions of a user using a camera while the user watches a display screen displaying a video containing dynamic region-based stimuli designed for identifying a neurodevelopmental and/or psychiatric (neurodevelopmental/psychiatric) disorder; analyzing the head and iris positions of the user to detect attention assessment information associated with the user, wherein the attention assessment information indicates how often and/or how long the user attended to one or more regions of the display screen while watching the video; determining that the attention assessment information is indicative of the neurodevelopmental/psychiatric disorder; and providing, via a communications interface, the attention assessment information, a diagnosis, or related data.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated attention assessment

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated behavioral assessment. According to one aspect, a method for automated behavioral assessment is provided. The method occurs at a computing platform including a processor and memory. The method includes providing at least one stimulus for eliciting a response from a user. The method also includes obtaining, using a camera or sensor communicatively coupled to the computing platform, the at least one response. The method also includes determining, using the at least one response, a behavioral assessment associated with the user.
