SIDIS Health

Seed Round in 2023
Sidis Health was born of necessity by executives working in autism services corporate offices. Through our years of experience working directly with frontline therapists, parents, support staff, and other business managers we realized the full impact that the treatments provided by BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, LMFCs, and others had on the quality of families lives. Families would express their appreciation to the therapists and even us on the business side when we had the chance to talk with them and that encouraged us to push farther forward the care opportunities our companies could provide. While we looked for additional ways to make the business of autism treatment more accessible and efficient in order to increase the patient base and available hours to work with patients we encountered a frustratingly low level of technological support and tools available to properly analyze the treatments and operations of the organizations. knowing that this was our area of expertise that we could provide solutions for we left the care delivery business and founded Sidis Health in order to build the exact answer to all of the pain points we knew we and most other growing autism service companies were and would face utilizing all of today’s latest technologies. Sidis Health approached autism software from a unique perspective bred from the decades of experience held by its founders and developers in not just the autism/healthcare industry but in other large scale industries such as manufacturing, technology hardware/software, logistics, and retail/wholesale. By drawing on these years of various industry experiences and solutions that worked for huge multi-billion dollar international conglomerates we took the best-practices around each individual aspect of autism service delivery and brought a fresh solution to market that could handle a single autism clinic or an organization with thousands of clinics using the same platform. Our platform and implementation process surfaces the unique culture and structure of each organization while customizing the specific workflows to work with each unique entity in a standardized way. This creates the well-defined processes that are essential to an efficient and successful organization that can easily scale from a small company to a large enterprise while maintaining consistency in its service quality and optimally run lean on support staff. Technology allows us to take advantage of automation for tasks such as billing while artificial intelligence and machine learning constantly analyze the mix of input/output variables to optimize scheduling and even enhance a therapist’s ability to adapt treatment plans and outcomes. Kids and families today suffering the effects of autism spectrum disorder deserve the best care, treatment, and support available. Sidis Health delivers the foundation upon which any autism service organization can feel assured that they have the best technology solution and platform available to support the patients that they serve in a way that can infinitely scale so they can offer more, better services to more kids.
