The role of digital medicine in autism spectrum disorder.

The field of digital medicine is concerned with the use of technologies as tools for measurement and intervention in the service of human health (Coravos et al, 2019), and may facilitate development of improved therapies for ASD. The use of established and emerging technologies to diagnose, assess, treat, and coordinate care expanded widely over the past ten years. Technologic advances promise to foster earlier and more accurate diagnosis, improved disposition, treatment access and planning, and provide better outcomes and quality of life for individuals with ASD. Two main areas are reviewed below: 1) assessment diagnosis, and outcome, and; 2) digital therapeutics.
