Oren Miron is a research associate in Harvard Medical School and winner of the "Next Einstein" competition. Oren developed a brain test to detect autism at birth, which uses an existing brain test that screens hearing impairment on 4,000,000 newborns a year. Modifying those hearing tests to also test autism will allow early detection that drastically reduces severity and improves integration in the workforce.

Solution: We developed a brain test for autism, which is based on a test that screens hearing impairment on 4,000,000 newborns a year. Modifying those hearing tests to also test autism would allow earlier treatment that decreases autism severity and increases the ability to join the workforce.
