INAU.AI

At INAU, we are breaking new ground for non-verbal children with autism. Over the past three years, we’ve collaborated with world-renowned scientists from Yale, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Houston Universities to decode the intricate language of the heart, body, and brain. This isn’t just research—it’s a monumental effort driven by passion, innovation, and a commitment to give these children the voices they deserve.

We’re creating the world’s first non-verbal AI system to decode emotional and physiological responses. This groundbreaking innovation will predict and manage emotional meltdowns, transforming how individuals with autism communicate and connect with the world around them. Our aim is to reduce the post-effect or meltdown cycle by 10 times — from 24 hours to 2 hours.

Our goal?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 36 children in the U.S. For non-verbal individuals, the inability to express emotions or needs can lead to frustration, isolation, and even severe meltdowns. Sensory issues are present in over 90 percent of children with autism spectrum disorder. Thus, the problem of meltdowns significantly impacts children with ASD and their families.

Our mission at INAU is to revolutionize communication for neurodivergent children by creating an AI-powered system that bridges the gap between body language, neurolinguistics, and emotional intelligence. Through a groundbreaking app, we analyze physical and emotional conditions, transforming them into a universal language that fosters seamless interaction with the neurotypical world. Together, we can help create a world where communication is accessible to everyone—spoken or unspoken—and create a more inclusive world where every child can connect, express, and thrive.

Our Research: To create artificial intelligence based on humanistic principles.

We’ve conducted focus groups with autistic children and their parents, recorded behavioral observations, and collaborated with neurolinguistics and behavioral science experts. Now, we’re scaling our research to link physical conditions, social-emotional development, and non-verbal communication.

What sets us apart:

•⁠ ⁠Wearable Biosensors like GSR, ECG, HRV, and EEG to monitor physiological signals.

•⁠ ⁠AI Algorithms to interpret data and predict meltdowns before they occur.

•⁠ ⁠Real-Time Alerts delivered via a smartphone app, offering caregivers actionable insights and evidence-based recommendations.

Think of INAU as a Rosetta Stone for people with autism, helping them to decode and respond to the neuro-typical world around them, or as a Babel Fish from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "The Babel fish is a small, bright yellow fish, which can be placed in someone's ear in order for them to be able to hear any language translated into their first language."

What Your Support Will Achieve?

Your donation will help us:

•⁠ ⁠Develop and refine AI Models to predict meltdowns.

•⁠ ⁠Develop Biosensors & Mobile App for real-time monitoring and caregiver alerts.

•⁠ ⁠Test and Validate Prototypes to ensure they meet the needs of families and caregivers.

•⁠ ⁠Join Us in Creating a More Inclusive World

We aim to deliver a working prototype of this life-changing system by the end of 2025. There’s nothing like it in the world, and with your help, we can bring it to life. Every contribution brings us closer to a future where the universal language of the heart transcends barriers, making communication accessible to everyone, no matter their ability to speak. Together, we can unlock a world where every emotion and every thought are understood, valued, and will be heard.

Why INAU Is Unique?

INAU focuses on non-verbal expressions—because every person deserves to be understood, regardless of their ability to speak. Our solution decodes the unspoken, creating a new language for those who need it most.
