Pathfinder Health Innovations is a local company working in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) space with a software platform that supports practice management across Applied Behavior Analysis therapy implementations, Speech Language Pathology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Special Education therapy. This includes scheduling and billing, as well as documentation with real-time data collection and progress tracking. Since they’ve last shared with our team, they have acquired another company and transitioned to a model in which the founder passed the CEO responsibilities to an executive from outside the firm. Pathfinder is among a growing cohort of KC-based companies and researchers pursuing opportunities in the realm of ASD.

Every month, we bring together a group of health care stakeholders to learn and share about technology and innovation projects happening in the region–and occasionally related topics from outside the Greater Kansas City area. Our stakeholders include hospitals and the health care system, city and state government officials, health IT firms and other corporate partners, startups working in health and wellness, and other civic organizations. The meetings are open, though not widely broadcast. KC Digital Drive works closely with KU Med and Steve Fennel to program and plan the meetings. They generally happen on the last Wednesday of the month, 8:30-10:00 am at Mid-America Regional Council (MARC).
We send out an email agenda and calendar invite to this stakeholder list, which we loosely call the Health Innovation Team. If you wish to be added to the email list, please send a note to adeacon@kcdigitaldrive.org.
