Realtime Behavior Monitoring using Vision AI.
Caregivers get alerts on distress and safety behaviours. Use the cameras you already own, or deploy ours.
Two pilot deployments, one therapy centre and one home, in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad.
A caregiver support system.
Ethan AI is a non intrusive, AI powered caregiver support system that uses your existing camera setup to detect and log distress and safety behaviours.
Understands each child’s individual behaviour patterns, enabling more relevant insights and supportive interventions across daily environments.
The cloud based vision system securely aggregates behavior observations across home, school, and therapy environments to support consistent insights.
Personal data is protected in compliance with India’s DPDP Act (2023). Children’s data is collected only with parental consent and handled with the highest care.
Up and running in minutes.
Easy Installation
Works with your existing CCTV or camera setup, or with the camera and edge device we supply. Either way, setup takes minutes.
Custom Child Profiles
Caregivers set up individual child profiles and choose which behavior patterns they’d like insights on.
Role Based Dashboard
Separate access for parents, teachers, and therapists, insights tailored to each role’s expertise and context.
Your camera, or ours.
Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Imou, TP Link Tapo, CP Plus, Amcrest, UniFi Protect and most prosumer cameras. Paste your stream URL and you are running in about five minutes. No new hardware, no lock in.
The Ethan AI kit is a camera and an edge device, supplied and installed by us. The edge device does the continuous processing inside the room, so video stays where the child is. Choose this when capture quality matters, or when you want behaviours trained specifically for your child.
Alerts arrive where you already are. Email for the grandparent, Slack for the therapy team, Home Assistant for the home. Plus 1,000+ tools through IFTTT, Zapier, and our open webhook.
The most reliable sensor is the one they don’t have to wear.
In clinical studies, a meaningful share of autistic youth couldn’t tolerate a worn sensor, sensory sensitivity and removal.
Published models detect hand flapping, head banging and self injury from ordinary video at 85 to 88% accuracy.
Nothing to charge or remember. We observe the environment, not the child’s body.
Founded by ASD parents. Built for every child who deserves better support.
Ethan AI began as a need that grew from the personal journey of Shilpa Pakki, parent to an autistic child, Ethan, who is non verbal. Like many children who communicate differently, his behavior became the language she had to learn. Recognizing early signals, anxiety, emotional overload, self injury, aggression, became essential to supporting his learning of life skills.
With experience spanning computer vision, video analysis, SaaS platforms, adaptive learning, and assistive technology, she set out to build a vision based system that recognizes behavioral patterns in neurodivergent children before they escalate.
A feasibility study with our clinical partners, the work behind our Autism Synergies Conference abstract (Pakki & Charan), selected for oral presentation. Study completed April 2026.

Ethan AI presents clinical validation results at NIMHANS Autism Synergies 2026
An eight week study with 34 non verbal autistic children, in homes and therapy centres, validated against expert observation, with a candid account of the behaviours the system cannot yet detect.
Vision AI for automated ABC data collection: the antecedent problem in ABA behaviour logging
ABC data collection assumes continuous observation that real working conditions make impossible. The antecedent, the part a function hypothesis rests on, is the part collected under the worst conditions. A system that was already watching does not have to reconstruct it.
In the press.
Co founder Shilpa Pakki featured in ABN Andhrajyoti (Telangana) for advancing AI powered behavioral intelligence for neurodivergent children, families, and therapy centers.
Ethan AI showcased at the Autism Summit at HPS, Hyderabad, a collaborative initiative on inclusion, child safety, and support for autistic children.
“Ethan AI: Building Assistive Technology Through a Parent’s Lens” the origin, purpose, and real world motivation behind Ethan AI.
Presenting at NIMHANS.
Ethan AI presented eight week clinical validation results in an oral presentation at the International Autism Synergies Conference 2026, hosted at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, India’s apex institution for mental health.
The talk covered what the system detects today, what it measured against expert human observation, and an account of the behaviours it cannot yet detect.
