In a recent episode of the 3 Pie Squared – ABA Business Leaders podcast, Amanda Ralston, founder of Nonbinary Solutions and creator of Knowetic.AI, shared her groundbreaking work at the intersection of AI and ABA. Amanda’s dedication to enhancing clinical decision-making has led to the development of Knowetic.AI, a clinical decision support system that transforms the way ABA practitioners approach patient care.
A Vision for AI in ABA
Amanda’s journey to creating Knowetic.AI stems from her extensive experience as a BCBA and her passion for improving clinical practices. The platform’s goal is to streamline clinical decision-making by guiding clinicians through structured pathways that ensure medical necessity while focusing on patient-specific outcomes. Knowetic.AI eliminates guesswork and allows clinicians to spend more time delivering meaningful care.
The discussion also addressed the pressing need for ethical implementation of AI tools in ABA. Amanda highlighted the importance of creating tools designed by clinicians for clinicians, ensuring that technology enhances — not replaces — the nuanced decision-making that comes with experience.
Tackling Challenges with Technology
One key feature of Knowetic.AI is its ability to standardize intake processes and connect patient goals to meaningful, data-driven treatment pathways. By asking the right questions upfront, the system ensures that interventions align with each patient’s unique needs. This structured approach improves outcomes and supports clinicians at all levels of experience.
Amanda emphasized that AI tools should act as “digital mentors,” offering guidance without compromising the clinician’s autonomy. With the growing integration of AI in healthcare, Knowetic.AI stands out as a solution that maintains a focus on ethics and clinical efficacy.
Building Better ABA Practices
The conversation also delved into broader themes of quality in ABA practices. Amanda underscored the importance of balancing operational KPIs with clinical quality, ensuring that patient care remains the central focus. Tools like Knowetic.AI empower clinicians to meet these dual goals by providing actionable insights and reducing the administrative burden.
With Knowetic.AI, Amanda aims to address common pain points in ABA practices, from navigating medical necessity to enhancing data transparency for insurance payers. The ultimate vision is to create a future where technology and clinical expertise work hand-in-hand to improve the lives of individuals receiving ABA services.
