The BUD Device
Predict meltdowns. Prevent distress.
The BUD device continuously monitors your child's biometrics — heart rate, skin conductance, movement — and uses machine learning trained on their unique profile to predict a meltdown before it begins. Caregivers receive a real-time alert, giving them precious minutes to intervene.
"There is no standardization in autism caregiving. No certification. No curriculum. We're changing that — and we're building the tech to match."
— Brent Chase, Co-Founder & CEO, PalBud
Loved by families. Trusted by caregivers.
"For the first time, I trust the person walking through my door. Our caregiver actually understands my son."
"The training program changed how I think about autism care. I feel like a real professional now."
"Getting an alert before a meltdown gives us a chance to help — not just react. It's a game changer."
