Revolutionary Autism Resources for Parents: Dr. Karnik's POD Health App
Description
Dr. Dilip Karnik, a pioneering pediatric neurologist with over four decades of experience, joined Autism Labs to introduce POD Health, a free, AI-powered digital platform designed to revolutionize autism care for families worldwide. Standing for Parent of Determination, POD Health centralizes medical, therapy, and educational records into a single smartphone app, making it easier for parents to coordinate care and access trusted resources. The platform features Open Mind Search, an AI engine that delivers evidence-based answers from thousands of scientific papers, and Piper, a virtual assistant that guides parents through daily challenges, retrieves medical data, and provides empathetic support during crises. Future innovations include genetic testing to personalize medication plans and wearable technology that monitors heart rate, anxiety, and seizure activity to predict meltdowns before they occur. Together, these tools bring precision, accessibility, and hope to autism care—empowering families to make informed, proactive decisions wherever they are in the world.
