Recently, the Administrative Center for China's Agenda 21 announced the evaluation results for the 2024 public projects under the National Key Research and Development Program “Science and Technology Support for Social Governance and Smart Society.” Among the selected projects is the initiative titled “Research and Application of Key Technologies for Precision Intervention in Abnormal Child Behavior”, led by Peking University. Assistant Professor Liu Zuozhu from Zhejiang University-University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institute (ZJUI) has been appointed as the principal investigator of Subproject 4.

The project was recommended by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and is jointly submitted by Peking University in collaboration with Zhejiang University, the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University Sixth Hospital, and the University of Science and Technology Beijing.

The project addresses challenges in diagnosing and treating behavioral disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It aims to build a comprehensive, high-precision system for assessment and personalized intervention, spanning all developmental stages and environments. 

This project underscores ZJUI’s commitment to interdisciplinary research and the support of young faculty, while contributing to innovation and practical solutions in digital health.
