Despite advances in healthcare EMR’s and analytics, the industry is continuing to leave patients with behavioral and

learning disabilities behind. Federal, state and organizational subsidies have led to greater predictive prognoses for acute

and chronic patients, but such continuity of care lags for behavioral patients, particularly those with autism. Now the evolution

of enhanced application integration technologies combined with affordable biomedical devices helps makes holistic care a

reality. Therapists, pediatricians, special educators, parents and state/insurance systems can collaboratively participate and

track treatment care without the installation of separate software or new learning curves. Devices such as FitBits, children’s

GPS bracelets, electronic patches and “wired” clothing can safely and securely be integrated into a complete information

network accessible by approved care givers that can also contribute as part of a documented treatment plan for those patients.

With this technology, not only can new avenues of care be realized, but there are also significant private, state and federal

monies available to subsidize this move. This speech will demonstrate how technology can become an integral part of the

community of support for an autistic patient and provide many of the tools necessary to move that patient into a more selfreliant

and socially-integrated citizen.
