How a tech startup is using AI to find better treatments for autism

Some parents may flounder to find an effective ABA care provider because the data simply doesn't exist in convenient form. SpectrumAi aims to bring more clarity around what works and produce better treatment outcomes by measuring it in an empirical way via a digital platform. Rather than having to scribble largely unquantifiable and subjective paper notes that interrupts the flow of ABA therapy, which requires deep engagement by the therapist, SpectrumAi's software helps automate the data collection process and provides a widely accessible information hub that can also help therapists zero in on the most effective ABA techniques for different patient groups. Shao did not divulge SpectrumAi's specific customers, but said they include major players across the U.S. health insurance and ABA provider industries.
