Acquire Learning clinical platform
For Acquire Learning (Behavior Span), Evolve Blue designed and deployed a unified clinical ecosystem that scaled ABA therapy operations across 500+ students and multiple clinics — replacing 15-hour manual programming workflows with a 2-hour visual interface and closing the data loop between field execution and clinical planning.
Technology Stack
01 Overview
Acquire Learning Digital Product Engineering & Offshore Staffing engagement context.
Acquire Learning (Behavior Span) operates a multi-location applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy practice serving 500+ students. The organization needed a centralized clinical ecosystem to replace a fragmented, manual-first operation that was limiting clinical fidelity and preventing scale.
Evolve Blue designed and engineered three purpose-built applications: the Acquire Learning Web App for BCBAs (clinical programming and analytics), the iPad RBT Native App for field technicians (distraction-free session execution), and the Scheduling Web App for operations admins (multi-clinic scheduling and coordination).
The engagement was delivered through an offshore staffing model — Evolve Blue provided a dedicated offshore development team embedded with Acquire Learning over the full engagement lifecycle. BCBAs were spending 15+ hours weekly on manual programming using spreadsheets and paper tools. RBTs had no standardized digital interface for live sessions, and clinical data was collected inconsistently across therapists and locations. The three-app ecosystem replaced all of this with a unified, role-specific platform backed by real-time data synchronization.
02 The Challenge
Operational constraints the solution needed to address.
- BCBAs spending 15+ hours weekly building and maintaining therapy programs through manual, spreadsheet-based processes.
- Fragmented and delayed data tracking with no reliable synchronization between web and mobile environments.
- Inconsistent programming quality across therapists due to the absence of a standardized clinical library.
- No real-time visibility into student progress, target mastery rates, or trial data at the organizational level.
- Field technicians lacked a distraction-free mobile interface designed for the cognitive demands of live ABA therapy sessions.
- Scaling to 500+ students across multiple clinics required an architecture that could maintain clinical fidelity without adding operational overhead.
03 The Solution
A digital experience layer that unifies services, trust, and access.
Evolve Blue approached the Acquire platform as a unified operational engine rather than a set of isolated software tools. The architecture was built around three principles: role-based UX, workflow automation, and data-driven infrastructure.
Each user type — Clinical Director (BCBA), Field Technician (RBT), and Operations Admin — received an interface designed explicitly for their cognitive load and operational responsibilities. The web platform handled programming and analytics while the iPad interface handled real-time field execution.
The data layer was engineered for 100% real-time synchronization using MongoDB Realm, ensuring that every trial data point collected in the field instantly informed clinical planning and predictive analytics.
