In Silicon Valley, a hub of innovation, autism therapy faces critical challenges. One in 36 children in the U.S. is now diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Yet, technology's promise in therapy remains largely untapped. Only 35% of households with autistic children have access to Virtual Reality technology, contrasting with 72% in other families. Moreover, only 42% of these children receive technology-based interventions, with 23% personalized to their needs.
"Technology can make life better for physicians and nurses and improve outcomes for patients. That's how I got into innovation."
Dr. Uli K. Chettipally is an award-winning physician, researcher, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in emergency medicine, clinical decision support, and digital therapeutics. He founded Sirica Therapeutics, which develops innovative autism therapy devices using robotics and virtual reality. As founder and president of InnovatorMD, the largest physician innovation platform, he fosters solutions for patient care, hosts events, and runs a Health Tech pre-seed accelerator. An author of publications and books like “Punish The Machine,” he's received awards for his innovations and actively serves on various boards dedicated to enhancing healthcare through technology.
"We are punishing people instead of making the tools better; machines have capabilities we are not taking advantage of."
"In healthcare, systems are set up that don't like change. It's the business model of healthcare that's a big hurdle for innovation."
