Cognoa Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Digital Therapeutic Engagement and Usability Study

Cognoa ASD Digital Therapeutic Engagement and Usability Study

Cognoa will measure usability, engagement with the device, and changes in parent-reported socialization during a 4-week period of intervention at home with the Cognoa ASD therapeutic device.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Usability assessment of Cognoa ASD Therapeutic Device

Detailed Description

Parents who consent will be given access to the study device through its caregiver and child-facing smartphone app that provides therapeutic content. In order to access the study device app, parents will be provided access to two other apps. The first is Testflight. TestFlight is an online service for over-the-air installation and testing of mobile applications, currently owned by Apple Inc.that allows users to test iOS apps before they are released to the App Store. Parents will also be provided access to the Cognoa for Child Development app in order to create an account as a means to gain access to the study device app. The parents will only be able to engage with the study device app once they have created an account in the Cognoa for Child for Development app

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition	Change was calculated on an average from all relevant time points used in the calculation in the Time Frame ( baseline assessment, 4 weeks of intervention 4-6 times a week, weekly surveys of usability, final assessment); These measures were not completed due to COVID Change in scores on the Vineland-3 domain level caregiver report social skills and relationships, measures of usability. Qualitative descriptors: scores of 1 to 17 may be considered Average, 18 to 20 Elevated, and 21 to 24 Clinically Significant Caregivers partially completed their scores on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition, This was due to COVID and not being able to complete the study. 0 Caregivers had their scores analyzed as they were unable to complete the study due to COVID, this study was terminated.	Enrollment, baseline assessment, 4 weeks of intervention 4-6 times a week, weekly surveys of usability, final assessment; These measures were not completed due to COVID
