Clinical Clarity Before the
Conversation Even Begins
Depression Walks Into Your Clinic Every Day.
It Leaves Undetected Because Screening Is Still Manual.
The PHQ-9 takes less than 3 minutes to complete. So why are clinics still skipping it,
miscalculating it, or filing it on paper that nobody reads before the appointment starts?
Screening Gets Skipped
When the front desk is overwhelmed, PHQ-9 gets pushed to next visit or dropped entirely. Patients leave without the conversation that could change their diagnosis and their care.
Manual Scoring
A miscalculated score means a misread severity level and a clinical decision made on inaccurate data.
Clinicians Walk In Without Context
Without a scored summary in hand before the consultation, providers spend the first minutes catching up rather than delivering care.
How AI-Powered PHQ-9 Screening Works in Your Clinic
Three steps. Zero manual work. Clinical clarity before every consultation.
AI Voice Guides Every Patient Through the PHQ-9
Completed in the Waiting Room.
Before the consultation begins, our AI voice assistant walks patients through all nine questions; calmly, clearly, and at a natural pace. Whether in the waiting room or completed remotely, the assessment is done before your provider sits down. No paper forms. No staff involvement. No skipped screenings.
Automatic Scoring, Severity Flags, and Immediate Alerts
Mild to Severe; Identified the Moment the Patient Finishes
Scores are calculated instantly against validated severity thresholds. Question 9 suicidal ideation responses trigger an immediate alert to assigned clinical staff, so your team can respond before the patient reaches the clinician. No delay. No missed flags. No paper to interpret.
Track Every Patient's Progress Across Every Visit
Show Patients Their Improvement.
Every PHQ-9 score is stored against the patient record and compared to previous screenings automatically. Clinicians see a clean trend view; improving, stable, or worsening. At every follow-up. Measurement-based care stops being a burden and starts being the standard.
This Is Built for You If Your Clinic Looks Like This
Three types of clinics. One shared problem
General Practice Clinics
Depression walks in disguised as fatigue and sleep problems. Automated PHQ-9 screening catches what a 10-minute consult misses.
Mental Health & Psychiatry Clinics
Measurement-based care is your standard. AI-powered screening removes the admin friction around it, so tracking treatment response happens automatically.
Allied Health Clinics
Physios and chronic disease specialists see depression comorbidities daily. Routine PHQ-9 screening gives you the clinical picture before it becomes a complication.
What AI-Powered PHQ-9 Screening Does for Your Practice
Every clinic sees it. Most miss it. Here’s where depression slips through the gaps.

An immediate alert is sent to the assigned clinical staff member before the patient enters the consultation room. No response goes unnoticed and no flag waits to be discovered after the visit. Your team has time to act before the clinician sits down.
Yes. The AI voice assessment can be completed remotely via a link sent to the patient before the appointment, so the scored report is ready in the clinician's hands before the patient even arrives at the clinic.
The system automatically scores and classifies responses across all validated PHQ-9 severity thresholds: Minimal (0–4), Mild (5–9), Moderate (10–14), Moderately Severe (15–19), and Severe (20–27) and delivers a structured report with the severity classification directly to the clinician.
