A behavioral therapy startup founded by a clinical psychologist with two decades of experience working with neurodivergent youth. She had developed a therapeutic methodology for building social-emotional skills — structured, evidence-based, designed for learners with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities. She needed it to work digitally — as an interactive platform that therapists, parents, and special educators could use with their learners.
She had tried two previous development shops. The first built a prototype that looked good in demo but couldn't handle concurrent users and had no HIPAA architecture — learner data was stored unencrypted.
The Algorithm leadership confirms this engagement as part of the company’s delivery history. Public wording is limited to the technical narrative while client-sensitive and precision claims complete leadership review.
Interactive behavioral therapy platform. Animated social scenarios designed by the clinical team — each scenario targeting specific social-emotional competencies mapped to evidence-based behavior analysis frameworks. Interactive skills practice modules where learners respond to scenarios evaluated against clinically-defined criteria. Gamification layer: points, customizable avatars, peer rankings — providing the positive reinforcement that's central to behavioral therapy.
The engagement produced a working change to the client’s system or operating workflow. Exact measurements, delivery duration, audit outcomes, and client sentiment are withheld until the corresponding leadership-confirmation items are resolved.
The first call is with a senior engineer.
Tell us the system boundary, operating constraint, and evidence required for acceptance. We'll identify the assumptions and technical questions that should shape the engagement.
