Raven Is Different.

I come from a family of clinicians, and one complaint came up at our dinner table more than any other: healthcare software was awful. Electronic health records were clunky and hard to use, and my family would lose entire weekends to hospital-mandated EHR training.

The Problem Nobody Fixed

Years later, that complaint still holds up. EHRs can do a lot once clinical data is digitized, but actually collecting that data is still one of the most frustrating parts of a clinician’s day. Somehow, the system built to support clinicians ended up taking time away from the people they’re supposed to be helping.

Behavioral health feels this the most. ABA sessions can run up to eight hours, and a single session can generate hundreds, sometimes thousands, of data points. Pen and paper means transcription errors, lost data, and hours of redundant documentation after the session is already over.

Why We Built Raven

From day one, our mission was to build the best clinical data platform in ABA therapy, full stop. We spent hundreds of hours in the field with BCBAs and behavior technicians, watching how they actually worked, not how software vendors assumed they worked.

What we saw was rough. Techs jotting notes on paper, then re-entering everything into an EHR after the session. Techs pausing sessions to flip through binders. Some even put on cartoons to keep a client occupied while they tried to remember and log the prompts they’d just used.

We knew what needed to happen: build a data collection tool so seamless it disappears into the session, so technicians and BCBAs spend their time with clients instead of paperwork.

Where Raven Stands Today

That idea has grown into a lot more than data collection. Raven is now an all-in-one, AI-driven platform that runs the full operational side of an ABA practice: scheduling, credentialing, AI-generated session notes, and managed billing and revenue cycle management, all in one place. What started as fixing one broken workflow turned into rebuilding the entire back office so clinicians don’t have to think about it.

Every day, ABA techs and BCBAs across startup clinics, growing practices, schools, and universities use Raven to run their operations and deliver care. The thing we hear most often hasn’t changed since year one: we’ve taken the pain, and the hours, out of the parts of the job nobody went into ABA to do.

The work isn’t finished. Our goal has always been the same: help ABA providers spend 99% of their time with clients and 1% on everything else. We get closer every day, and we’re just getting started on what’s next.
