Researchers have developed ShishuRaksha AI, a novel decision-support framework designed to screen for abuse-related psychological trauma in children in Bangladesh. The system is unique in its training-free, multimodal approach, integrating validated questionnaires, Bengali narrative text, drawing features from the House-Tree-Person test, and facial affect analysis. Due to ethical constraints on collecting clinical data, the framework was evaluated on a noise-aware synthetic benchmark, achieving an AUC of 0.874, significantly outperforming a baseline using only questionnaires.
