Unparalleled AI-driven ABA clinical progress and outcomes

Our patent-pending advanced analytics engine leverages AI to identify “cohorts” of patients with unique clinical profiles.

We collect and run 70+ variables related to ABA therapy and patient characteristics, including non-medical and health equity considerations, against our ever-growing database of 530M+ clinical progress data points and 70M+ hours of ABA sessions to deliver the most precise ABA recommendations and inform decisions around patient care management. 

Unmatched measurement and value-based care

Powerful views and reports highlight performance opportunities, identify potential fraud, waste and abuse, inform the creation of provider tiering and/or ABA Centers of Excellence, and build a path to value-based care.
