Ambient Assessment
Measurement that meets users where they already are.
Continuous, privacy-first awareness captured passively — ambient biometric and behavioral patterns from the wrist, giving educators, therapists, and families a record of how the wearer moves through their day. The professional's judgment remains central. The device stays quiet in the background.

A Workforce in Crisis
The professionals serving the autism population are leaving the field.
Documentation is the most-cited driver of burnout and attrition across every discipline that serves autistic learners. These workforces are shrinking against rising demand — and every provider who leaves takes capacity that cannot be easily replaced.
That's exactly why the Brooks Band exists. When a family chooses to share their ambient data, it flows into a simple provider dashboard with pre-organized, shareable reports — voice-amplitude trends, recovery patterns, and behavioral correlations already structured into the formats IEP teams, SLPs, OTs, and BCBAs actually use. The professional still holds the pen. The platform handles the paperwork. That's how we give providers their weeks back — so the people who became clinicians to help users can stay in the field doing exactly that.

12hrs
A school-based SLT spends approximately 12 hours per week on documentation — only 48% of their time reaches users. The Brooks Band captures observable awareness data in real time, so the paperwork writes itself while the professional stays present with the user.
