Kanjo
AI-driven, pre-clinical insight and triaging co-pilot for ADHD, Autism and their comorbidities.
Parents aren’t getting the right help they need for their child. From misdiagnosis to long waiting times, the pathway to the best care is fractured. Clinicians also feel this burden. Unable to receive pre-clinical insights before a diagnosis, they are left with minimal resources and minimal insight resulting in high costs and time wasted.
Kanjo uses a proprietary algorithm to derive a holistic, longitudinal understanding of the patient. Through their two-sided triaging platform, this information is used to improve the accuracy of pre-clinical evaluations and referrals, and the efficacy of remote patient monitoring.
