Rodi Releases Interpersonal Cognition App MADO On IOS And Android
By presenting traits as gradations of 30 indicators rather than diagnostic labels, MADO targets the people the article describes as sitting outside the line of diagnosis, where public support frameworks do not apply.

Rodi released the iOS and Android versions of MADO, an interpersonal cognition debugging app, in September. The app cross-reads traits discussed within frameworks such as ADHD, ASD, HSP, and 16 types, presenting them as gradations across 30 indicators rather than as diagnostic labels. The iOS version had been available since August; the Android release completes provision on both platforms.
The app's developer describes a personal combination of strong ADHD traits, ASD tendencies, HSP temperament, and INTJ, and writes that a later diagnosis felt less like shock than conviction: the traits were his brain's specifications, not a defect. He attributes that conviction to receiving the information as objective data from a neutral third party rather than through emotional discussion. MADO is framed around the same idea, and Rodi states it is patent pending. The article cites Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare survey data showing people diagnosed with developmental disabilities rose from about 480,000 in 2016 to about 870,000 in 2022.
