Many years ago if one wanted to test their child for autism, they’d have to spend a fair amount of money to get their kids tested, but fast forward to today, it seems that all you’d need is an app. The app is developed by a new startup company called Cognoa. The idea is to help evaluate children for autism, which according to the company’s CEO, Brent Vaughan who spoke to TechCrunch, has risen to 1 in 68 children in the US.

Due to the rising number, not to mention the time it takes to see warning signs of autism and the average waiting time to see a specialist could take as long as a year, which is time lost that the child could have benefited from an intervention program. What Cognoa’s app does is that it helps to evaluate the risk for developmental delay and autism for children below the age of 3.

The app will ask the parents a series of questions, as well as allow them to record a 5 minute video of their child performing a simple set of activities. After which based on the data, it will provide an assessment as to whether the child is at risk of autism. It should be noted that the app does not diagnose whether or not the child has autism, but rather evaluates as to whether there could be a risk, after which parents can then do something about it if they believe it to be the case.

The app has been tested over 20,000 times and has been used in numerous studies and has shown an accuracy above 90% for children under 4 years and as young as 13 months.

So the other day we caught wind that LG could be working on another L-series handset known as the LG L65, and it turns out that the rumors were right because LG has since officially announced the handset on their Russian website which has us wondering if the device will make its way stateside, but then again there are carriers such as MetroPCS who stock the LG L70 so there is a chance that maybe it will.

It also seems that the rumors were right about the phone and some of its hardware specs. For starters the phone will come with a 4.3-inch IPS display but as far as resolution is concerned, the LG L65 will only come with a WVGA 800×480 display which is admittedly pretty low as far as modern smartphones are concerned.

The phone will also be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2GHz (dual-core) and will be accompanied by 1GB of RAM. There will also be a 5MP rear-facing camera, a VGA front-facing camera, 4GB of onboard storage expandable via microSD, a 2,100mAh battery, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity.

The good news is that despite its low-end specs, the LG L65 will be running on Android 4.4 KitKat, so users don’t have to worry about waiting for any updates since it will be running the latest version of Android. The phone is priced around $210 in Russia so we can expect that it will be priced affordably when it arrives in the US as well, if and when it does.

It’s not the most powerful phone but like we said, it’s affordable so if you’re in the market for a device that does not break the bank, perhaps the LG L65 is a phone to keep an eye out for.

One of the things that smartwatch makers are doing is that they’re trying to replicate the same size and comfort that normal watches offer, with the difference being that these watches are a lot more interactive and will do more than just tell the time. That’s one way of going about it, but what about those who’d rather a much bigger display?

Well that’s where the Rufus Cuff comes in and it is really is a “monster” on your wrist, at least compared to smartwatches. The Rufus Cuff will pack a 3-inch display and will come with a host of features that users might appreciate. This includes GPS, voice control via a built-in microphone, speakers, a camera, and even has access to the Google Play Store!

The device (we’re not sure if it can be considered a smartwatch anymore) will also play nicely with both Android and iOS devices. Interestingly enough it goes beyond what smartwatches can do and can even connect to the WiFi on its own, meaning that you won’t have to rely on it pairing with your phone for connectivity.

Now we have to admit that a 3-inch display is a little big as far as wrist wear is concerned, but if you don’t mind the size and actually appreciate the size since it would make surfing a lot better, you might want to head on over to its Indiegogo page where they are currently seeking funding. As it stands the project has managed to raise close to $180,000 which is shy of $20,000 from its goal and with 7 days to go, there is a chance that they might make it.
