The Potential of a Store and Forward Tele-Behavioral Platform for Effective Treatment and Research of Autism

This paper describes the justification and the design principles of a behavioral medicine store & forward telemedicine platform [such as the Behavior Connect] to facilitate the capturing and communication of spontaneous patient behaviors for the improved evaluation, diagnosis and ongoing treatment of people with autism. This Tele-Behavioral Health platform will allow families and other caregivers to readily capture spontaneous patient behaviors for subsequent evaluation by appropriate medical specialists.
