What BioStream Technologies does

BioStream Technologies, LLC is a privately held, US-based company that develops LOOKWARE, a digital adjunctive training platform intended to help therapists and special education teachers deliver social skills training to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The platform combines Tobii-based Gaze-Contingent Eye Tracking (GCET) hardware with software modules that digitize Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques, including prompting, fading, differential reward, and momentum, and deliver them through an adaptive video-game interface. A 2-minute Visual Behavior assessment, a 25-minute Visual Behavior training module, and a 25-minute Emotion Recognition training module constitute the core product surface, accessible through a Professional App for clinicians and teachers and a Caregiver App for parents.

The technology stack is built around computer vision for gaze tracking and facial emotion analysis, with structured data capture (time in Area of Interest, number of looks in eyes, exercise time) feeding adaptive experience algorithms. Clinical credibility rests on a six-site randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders (June 2021) showing a 25% improvement in emotion recognition versus a 2% control response after approximately six weeks. BioStream states HIPAA commitment, integrates Stripe for billing, and partners with Tobii for eye-tracking hardware.

Commercially, BioStream deploys LOOKWARE through enterprise field sales to autism service provider organizations and school districts. Hardware and pre-loaded laptops are provided to therapists and teachers at no cost to remove adoption friction, while revenue is generated through per-session parent payments set below a typical office visit copay; the platform is not currently reimbursed by insurance. As of the latest inputs, the company had 5 employees with no salary or bonus, total disclosed funding of approximately $950,000 (an NSF award plus a 2019 round), and was actively seeking investors. Named deployments include Beacon ABA Services (serving 850 families in Massachusetts), Positive Behavior Supports Corporation (24 US states and Canada), and Burlington Public Schools (six Massachusetts schools).
