Diagnostics & Assessment
Diagnostic technology and clinical assessment instruments — from FDA-cleared eye-tracking to the VB-MAPP, Vineland-3, and ADOS-2.
Two different decisions live in this category. Assessment instruments (VB-MAPP, Vineland-3, ABLLS-R, AFLS) are chosen by clinical model and payer requirements — many payers expect specific scores in authorization packets, which makes instrument choice partly an operations decision. Diagnostic capacity (EarliPoint, Canvas Dx, telehealth evaluation services) is a program decision: who evaluates, under whose license, with what referral pathways, and how measurement informs ongoing care. Evaluate technology on regulatory status, age ranges, payer acceptance, and staffing requirements. The strategic prize is the same for everyone: families reaching care months sooner than the waitlist status quo.
