The science & methodology

Grounded in clinical rigor.

Namo is built upon the globally recognized Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) framework, digitized for continuous, precise monitoring — and culturally adapted for Arabic-speaking and bilingual families.

Five domains of assessment

The full picture, by design.

Every Namo screen covers all five ASQ-3 domains — together, longitudinally — so strengths and gaps are visible at every age.

Domain 01

Communication

Tracking both expressive and receptive language. From early babbles to complex sentence structuring and social understanding.

BabblingTwo-word phrasesPronoun useStory sequencing
Domain 02

Gross Motor

Evaluating large muscle mechanics, balance, and spatial coordination — from unassisted sitting to running.

SittingCrawlingWalkingHopping on one foot
Domain 03

Fine Motor

Observing the precision of small muscle movements and hand-eye coordination — critical for future writing and self-care.

Domain 04

Problem Solving

Measuring cognitive processing, memory, and early logical reasoning through play-based tasks.

Domain 05

Personal-Social

Assessing emotional intelligence, behavioral regulation, and the capacity to form secure bonds with caregivers and peers.

The scoring logic · transparent AI

Every response, quantified honestly.

A transparent threshold system — no opaque models. Parents and clinicians see exactly which zone a child is in, and exactly what triggers each action.

≥ cutoff + 1 SD

Normal · Green

Child is thriving.

Continue standard monitoring. Namo schedules the next screen and surfaces enrichment activities that match the child’s current zone of proximal development.

Within 1 SD of cutoff

Grey zone · Yellow

Potential delay detected.

The platform immediately deploys targeted intervention activities — short, clinician-authored sessions designed to close the gap before the next screen.

≥ 2 SD below norm

Below cutoff · Red

Significant delay identified.

The system prompts immediate medical referral and surfaces a clinician-ready summary, while keeping the family supported through at-home care routines.

Behind every score

ASQ-3 norms · age-banded cutoffs · multi-rater reliability.

Namo’s scoring engine is reviewable. Every flag is paired with the specific items, the age band, and the standard deviation it sits against — open to your clinical lead’s audit at any time.

“Namo gave us a vocabulary for what we were already feeling. Three months in, our daughter is more regulated — and so are we.”

Begin gently

Your first assessment takes twelve unhurried minutes.

Narrate play as it happens, in Arabic or English. Namo’s voice mode quietly maps what it hears against the ASQ-3 framework and hands you a plan — with activities you can start the same day.
