Key Highlights

  • According to the management of IAC, these details, recorded anonymously after prior explicit content, would assist healthcare professionals to observe an affected person’s progress towards their goals and help them and the families understand the efficacy of given interventions based on the client’s progress.
  • “Our clinical care software is one of the first of its kind in the country.
  • We are trying to map the life cycle of the child end-to-end.
  • Right from the time she/he enters the campus, their assessments, their goals, activities of daily living, and progress made will be mapped on the software.
  • That will provide us invaluable data in terms of how the progression is happening, what works, what does not work, and how we can improve caregiving for neurodivergent persons,” CEO and director of IAC, Jaishankar Natarajan, told The Hindu.
