- High sentiment scores for the clean, accessible design indicate the core workflow remains a strong retention driver for neurodivergent patients.
The SWOT
- Biometric login reduces daily friction
- Centralized workflow creates practitioner switching costs
- Dark mode for accessibility
- Multi-language support for patient reach
