With help from Boise State University’s TechHelp center and a stock offering, Logue and team were able to manufacture the RAT and market it in industry catalogs and at trade shows. And it wasn’t efficient to have an additional hygienist entering periodontal data into the computer. Logue invented the Dental RAT after being frustrated with having to jump between a patient’s mouth, then to a keyboard (and back) to document a patient’s teeth. Invented by dental hygienist Beck Logue, Dental RAT is a hands-free mouse and keyboard controlled by your feet. Photo credit: Katherine Jones / Idaho Statesman

Generally, there is a lack of trained software programmers and leadership level IT positions experienced in helping us continue to help providers conform to HIPAA practices. The state (Idaho) is behind others in adapting progressive reimbursable solutions to healthcare shortages. Ron: Health providers in Idaho tend to trust out-of-state brands thus far to provide in-state health IT solutions. What are the biggest challenges of building a healthcare / health IT business in Boise? Ron: Supportive, accessible mentors and collaborators at the university and state level, experienced and motivated to pursue health IT ventures (without too many competitors to compete for their time and attention), who are willing to share their knowledge. What are the benefits of building a healthcare / health IT business in Boise? This summer, Behavior Imaging was one of five businesses to be nominated by the National Institutes of Health for achievements in accountable-care solutions. Behavior Imaging uses cameras to document a person’s behavior in their home, school or at a clinic, which is shared with doctors and caregivers for a more accurate treatment.ĬEO and Chairman Ron Oberleitner moved to Boise from New Jersey after creating two successful technology products: TalkAutism and AutismCares. Unlike an X-ray or a blood test, behavioral health can be difficult to document objectively and precisely. These Boise companies and startups are doing just that: What does this mean? Healthcare - from billing to patient care - needs to be smarter, leaner and more efficient. What states, hospitals, insurance companies and people once expected of the industry has turned on its head, in part thanks to the Affordable Care act, HIPAA, Meaningful Use and stricter standards set by the federal government.
Healthcare is experiencing a major transformation. From hospital analytics to 3D printing to a hands-free mouse, these Boise companies are making waves in healthcare.
