Transforming Health Care Experiences
Welcome to AutiSense, we are passionate about improving people’s health and making a meaningful difference to their lives through digital and transformational healthcare experiences that are positive, purposeful and lasting.
We have a strong focus on children’s health and well-being, especially those with developmental disabilities like autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability.
Behaviours start early in childhood
Every child deserves a positive start to preventive healthcare. But, when it comes to medical or dental visits, for some children and parents this may provoke apprehension, worry or anxiety as to what to expect; how will the child cope and how will the child be managed by the health professional. A negative experience can mean a life time of anxiety, delays or even avoidance in seeking health-checks or treatment across the ages.
Autisense is committed to understanding the unique needs of all children and seeks totranslate individual health needs, behaviours and challenges with a view to better prepare, communicate, support and transform healthcare experiences for all involved.
We are working on facilitating an interactive and positive partnerships between young patients and health professionals before the first visit via a digital dental healthcare platform called the Dental Detective Check app.

The dental clinic is a sensory stimulating environment with bright lights, loud high pitch noises coming off the dental equipment, not to mention strange or antiseptic smells in the air. Typically there is some probing, scratching or vibration in the mouth from the dental instruments. There are so many things in the dental setting that may trigger a sensory overload and precipitate anxiety or a massive meltdown for patients withASD. Such situations can be difficult to manage and stressful for everyone. I’m looking forward to speaking to the dental community about ASD research and dental health considerations on the 20thof July, 2018 as part of a professional development seminar organised by Edge Professional Development at the ADA House in West Perth.
