THE REMOTE AUTISM ASSESSMENT PLATFORM:

NODA

Clinical centers can now offer a new remote autism assessment service. With NODA, clinicians observe behaviors captured by the family at home through a secure platform. NODA was developed by Behavior Imaging Solutions

Autism Diagnosis Today

Autism prevalence is increasing. It rose 15% to 1 in 59 in 2018. Demand for autism care is 18x higher than the supply of caregivers. Even though experts agree that early intervention is critical for future outcomes, many families still face long wait-times prior to diagnosis. Families need faster, more convenient autism assessments, so that they can access the resources that they need to thrive.

NODA Helps Close the Gap

Brings the observational powers of the clinician into the home
Reaches those in rural areas who would otherwise have to travel
Allows clinicians to assess and diagnose patients faster, reducing wait-times
Provides families with earlier access to intervention and an improved developmental trajectory
Works towards a society where the families of autistic children have access to needed resources in a timely fashion

YEARS IN THE MAKING

Ron and Sharon Oberleitner founded Behavior Imaging Solutions in 2005 to develop technology as a means of increasing disabled people’s access to care via technology.

MILLION DOLLARS IN RESEARCH

NODA was commercially developed through a $2.7 Million dollar NIH-funded series of research studies that proved that observation at home is an effective autism assessment method.

THE WAIT-TIME FOR FAMILIES

A recent NIH-funded research study showed that the NODA method cuts the average total time to obtain an autism assessment in half compared to the in-person method.

How NODA Works

Once clinicians determine that a family is a good candidate for NODA, there are four easy steps:

1. CLINICIANS GUIDE THE FAMILY TO REGISTER ON NODA PLATFORM

2. FAMILY COLLECTS AND UPLOADS VIDEOS AND DATA FROM HOME

3. CLINICIANS REVIEW DATA AND PERFORM ASSESSMENT

4. CLINICIANS CREATE ASSESSMENT REPORT AND NEXT STEPS

RON OBERLEITNER, CEO OF BEHAVIOR IMAGING:

Twenty years ago, our family faced a challenge that many families still face today. Long wait times at diagnostic clinics led to us going almost two years before confirming our son Robby’s autism diagnosis. The NODA method would have been invaluable to help us get an earlier start on Robby’s treatment.

Behavioral clinicians can adopt NODA and expand or streamline their referral network

Organizations can now offer a new remote diagnostic service

We walk your patients through the entire process.

1. Refer your patient to NODA

2. Families collect and upload data at home

3. Your trained clinicians can review and render a diagnosis

4. You receive a detailed, accurate diagnostic report

NODA is used for children 18 months to 7 years of age

Background

What is NODA?

NODA is an evidence-based Autism diagnostic service platform that has been brought to market to address some of the challenges with early diagnosis. Current challenges include the lack of access to professionals, long waiting periods, earlier detection, clinical appointment scheduling and costs. NODA has been commercially developed through a $2.7 Million dollar NIMH-funded series of research studies that included Georgia Tech, Behavior Imaging and the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center.

Why a new Autism diagnosis?

Provider Organizations

Seeking cost effective assessments to add to their provider network
Desire to expand patient and service coverage
Wanting a modern turnkey solution to improve desired patient intake
Accelerate a path to diagnosis leading to early intervention improvements

Family Desires:

Fraction of the cost and time of traditional testing.
Conducted from the child’s natural environment – (valuable perspective)
Faster answers
No waiting time to see a specialist – faster access to early intervention
Convenient and easy to use.

Collaboration Opportunity

NODA is market proven for patients and providers. We are implementing more pilot programs. If you are interested in a presentation or call to learn more just email us here: noda@54.162.200.67

Partnership Case Study

subspecialty care from barrows and PCH available.

Our implementation with PCH included 3 pieces:

1. Educating the Professionals

See the PCH newsletter announcing and explaining the partnership. Organizations must communicate the importance, value, and details of implementing NODA to the doctors and professionals who interface with patients and work with Autism every day.

2. Offering NODA To Their Patients

See PCH’s page on their autism program. Next PCH added NODA as one of the tools they use with patients. Patients can now learn about the NODA option and use it in their relationship with PCH.

3. Deploy NODA App for PCH

See our signup page with a special tab for PCH patients in Arizona. Finally, we add a special gateway for partners so that doctors, specialists, and caregivers all have the proper level of access to the technology.

For Your Standalone Practice

Physicians are not part of a larger network organization can also refer to a participating specialist
