Improving patient outcomes via digital technologies
To fulfill the client’s primary objective of making “healthcare accessible to everyone”, our team first gained an understanding of their ecosystem including their autistic patients, their caregivers, and therapists.

The new platform removes the shortcomings of the legacy systems that impacted patient care – limited features and functionalities, technical lags, dated design and user experience.
The new web and mobile-based digital platform enables clinicians and behavior technicians to easily access medical data, monitor patient progress, and follow through with treatment plans – greatly improving patient care and therapy impact. Making changes to treatment when needed, and working with caregivers for better outcomes has never been easier. All within just a few clicks!

With advanced data analytics and custom data visualization modules, they can now make smarter, faster, and more informed medical decisions.
