A CONVERSATION ON AUTISM CARE, AI, AND THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE

In this episode of the Apex Health Podcast, Dr. Alex Evans and Candice Caesar, PMHNP, speak with Nauman Jaffar, founder of CliniScripts and Market Tech AI.

Nauman’s work is deeply personal. As the father of a son with autism, he experienced firsthand how families are often left to coordinate care across physicians, therapists, schools, insurers, and community programs. That journey inspired him to develop technology designed to create greater continuity across an increasingly fragmented healthcare system.

IN THIS EPISODE

• The challenges families face when coordinating autism care
• Why continuity matters as much as clinical expertise
• How AI may help identify patterns that are difficult to observe manually
• Supporting therapists without replacing professional judgment
• Measuring progress across clinicians, settings, and time
• Protecting privacy, consent, autonomy, and dignity
• Addressing bias and hallucinations in healthcare AI
• Building a more connected and personalized model of autism care
• Turning personal challenges into opportunities to serve others
