Details and patient eligibility

About

This study will test feature enhancements to a behavioral therapy data collection software (Motivity) that will add a new clinical decision support module, called Acuity. Acuity is a Quality Improvement (QI) intervention targeted at Behavior Analysts (BAs) and Behavior Technicians (BTs) that aims to improve the delivery of autism behavioral therapy. Subjects will be staff recruited from existing Motivity customers.

Full description

Acuity is intended to provide significant improvements in treatment planning, progress tracking, trend monitoring, and dosage management. If successful, Acuity will provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) practitioners with a higher level of real-time insight into their clinical data, enabling more efficient and productive treatment. Research has shown that first-generation systems fall short in supporting overworked BAs who are overwhelmed with data. Acuity will address critical shortfalls by enabling more agile corrective actions and data-driven planning across multiple aspects of treatment, providing practitioners with new levels of rigorous, real-time insight into their clinical data. Acuity will help BAs establish and adhere to realistic treatment timelines, and will proactively alert the BA to noteworthy trends in the data as they occur, such as learner performance issues, missed dosages, and significant changes in tracked behaviors. In doing so, Acuity will support more responsive and effective treatment.
