diagnostic service platform that addresses many challenges
hindering an earlier diagnosis. Behavior Imaging has led
several National Institute of Health-funded research studies.
The most recent study compared current in-person autism
assessment practices with the NODA smartphone-based
method. The research showed that the NODA method cut
the average total time for an autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) assessment in half – saving on average two months
for families.
Fostering Employees with Active Work Environment
About the Perceptive Leader
The CEO, Ron Oberleitner holds more than two decades
of enriching executive management experience within the
health industry including medical devices, telemedicine,
and medical imaging solutions. His personal experience
with autism and professional experience from the medical
device, nonprofit, and research industries fuels a passion to
help others by creating and expanding solutions for better
diagnostic, assessment, and continuity of care for a variety
of behavioral and mental health challenges. Besides, he
brings an attitude of ‘why NOT our kids’ when it comes to
using innovative technology to address difficult health
conditions.
Ron believes that an ideal leader in the health IT industry
(be it telemedicine, digital therapeutics, or digital
assessments) recognizes the current barriers and resist to
change for disruptive patient engagement solutions. “This
ideal leader works hard and tirelessly to overcome
objections and demonstrate profound benefits through
responsible research and compassion for both struggling
patients and the well-meaning clinicians who serve them”,
says Ron.

It is well said that, “Practice is the hardest part of learning,
and training is the essence of transformation.” BI precisely
follows this concept, which can be observed from its
distinctive approach. BI employees regularly receive
outside training in areas relevant to their position, paid for
by BI. They also have direct hands-on experience with
colleagues with disabilities who perform special tasks for
the company. BI emanates a culture of ‘family first,
Behavior Imaging second’– which helps to attract and
retain the right employees.
Foreseeing a Bright Future
Besides providing a well-equipped and advanced work
surrounding to their employees, BI leaves no stone
unturned to stay abreast of the industry requirements.
According to BI, an ace patient engagement solution
provider should leave patients and their families/caregivers
feeling empowered to take an active role in care. BI also
believes that, when families are concerned about their loved
one’s health, patient engagement solutions should enable
clinicians to fetch helpful information about their patients.
Today, the healthcare market is waking up to the benefits of
capturing health data as it’s happening and sharing it with
knowledgeable doctors remotely to get earlier diagnosis and
guidance on treatment. In the next few years, Behavior
Imaging plans to integrate artificial intelligence to help
clinical professionals make quicker and better-informed
decisions as they assess behaviors and recommend
treatments.
