Amongst other applications, Behavior Imaging has recently developed and tested a smartphone application—Naturalistic Observation Diagnostic Assessment (NODA™)—especially aimed at expediting autism diagnosis. It enables family members of patients to video record samples of their child’s development and/or concerning behavior so specialists can remotely diagnose or rule out autism—faster and economically. NODA adheres to HIPAA regulation and safeguards video content with encryption mechanism. “NODA has been an incredible way to connect with families at home for their young child’s autism assessment. Behavior Imaging’s tool makes valuable observations of the child at home accessible to me as part of the diagnostic assessment,” says Catherine E. Rice, Ph.D., Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Director, Emory Autism Center.

Our solutions capture images of varied patient behavior occurring at home or school, which helps doctors diagnose and initiate right treatment of autism at an early stage
Future is even brighter for patients, including how Behavior Imaging will leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to help professionals make quicker and better-informed assessments. While doctors will initially tag the videos for specific behavioral issues, AI can subsequently learn from those clinical decisions to help doctors ‘auto—tag’ new videos. With AI, determining behavioral disorders like autism, aggressive behavior, social disability, and select medical concerns like seizures will be a faster process greatly benefitting doctors and their patients. And with another funded NIH grant to bring AI to market, Ron says, “Time is here that people with autism can remotely connect next minute with the best doctors and therapists remotely to help them overcome their disabilities so they can lead healthy lives.”
