According to experts, the tool will split the child's cough record into frames of just 12.5 milliseconds, then analyze each of these frames for parameters such as intensity and volume. All this data is combined to give an overview of the baby's cries. At this point, the system will also distinguish between cries and intervals in the middle.

The length of the cries and pauses will be recorded as well as changes in elevation are low and other variables appear in each cry. As a result, a total of 80 parameters were identified for each child's crying.

Analyzing baby cries is a field that has been studied for decades. Experts hope that by using this new technology, doctors can detect subtle changes that were previously unnoticed.

From these changes, they can find out which variable is the sign of the disorder that they are having, such as autism. " Early detection of developmental disorders plays a very important role. It can help us understand the cause and promptly put in place interventions to prevent or reduce the severity of the disease . says Barry Lester, director of Brown University's Center for Risky Youth Studies.
