Digital Harf是专为阿拉伯语自闭症儿童设计的多模态AI治疗平台,其核心Agentic合成数据引擎解决阿拉伯语治疗内容短缺问题,获专家高接受率,为代表性语言环境构建AI治疗系统提供了思路。
AI 中文摘要
阿拉伯语国家的自闭症谱系障碍儿童面临有效言语和语言治疗的多重障碍:合格专家短缺、服务覆盖范围超出城市中心有限,且几乎没有基于文化的数字治疗材料。我们提出Digital Harf,这是一个普及型多模态AI平台,将临床医生主导的言语和语言治疗扩展到家庭场景。该系统整合了语言治疗、言语清晰度、图片描述三个治疗模块,纳入统一工作流程,随时间适应每个儿童的表现。为解决阿拉伯语治疗内容的严重短缺,我们引入Agentic合成数据引擎(ASDE),该引擎在明确的治疗和文化标准指导下自动生成与文化相关的图像、提示和语言任务。由13名持牌言语语言病理学家进行的专家评估显示,ASDE生成的内容无需任何人工整理或选择,临床接受率达90.1%,且整个平台在文化和语言一致性方面获得了高分。Digital Harf表明,AI驱动的治疗系统可从零开始为代表性不足的语言环境构建,将文化基础视为核心基础设施而非事后调整。
英文摘要
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Arabic-speaking countries face compounded barriers to effective speech and language therapy: a shortage of qualified specialists, limited service reach beyond urban centers, and a near-total absence of culturally grounded digital therapy materials. We present Digital Harf, a pervasive, multimodal AI platform that extends clinician-led speech and language therapy into the home. The system integrates three therapeutic modules - language therapy, speech intelligibility, and picture description - within a unified workflow that adapts to each child's performance over time. To address the critical shortage of Arabic therapy content, we introduce an Agentic Synthetic Data Engine (ASDE) that automatically generates culturally relevant images, prompts, and language tasks guided by explicit therapeutic and cultural criteria. Expert evaluation with 13 licensed Speech-Language Pathologists yielded a 90.1% clinical acceptance rate for ASDE-generated content without any manual curation or selection, and strong ratings for cultural and linguistic alignment across the full platform. Digital Harf demonstrates that AI-driven therapeutic systems can be built from the ground up for underrepresented linguistic settings, treating cultural grounding as core infrastructure rather than an adaptation afterthought.
