Proactive psychiatric care
Help care teams act between appointments.
A proposed care-management platform pairing patient SMS check-ins with a clear follow-up workflow for teams supporting people living with serious mental illness.
Make between-visit follow-up easier to act on.
Our thesis: care teams need a simpler way to gather patient updates between appointments and turn them into timely follow-up. We are focused on people living with serious mental illness who experience repeated psychiatric emergency visits.
The opportunity we see is a connected workflow: hear from the patient, identify what needs review, and make the next action clear to the care team.
Proposed MVP
From patient check-in to care-team follow-up.
Check in by text.
Patients respond to brief, structured questions between appointments without installing an app.
Bring responses into one review queue.
Care staff see new responses and missed check-ins together, with context for deciding whom to follow up with.
Assign and track the next step.
A team member takes ownership and records the follow-up action.
Care-team review queue
Illustrative example
New response
Example member 01 · Feeling steady, refilled medication on time.
Check-in not received
Example member 02 · No response to today's check-in yet.
Follow-up assigned
Example member 03 · Coordinator scheduled an outreach call for Thursday.
Built around the organization responsible for follow-up.
Our initial customer is a provider organization carrying financial risk for behavioral health utilization. Care coordinators and case managers would use the platform within their existing teams.
Proposed model: a subscription priced per enrolled member per month, aligning the service with the population the organization manages.
The commercial hypothesis is that an easier follow-up workflow can create value for both care teams and the organizations funding that care. Pricing and economic outcomes remain to be demonstrated.
A focused path to proving value.
The proposed pilot would measure patient check-in participation, care-team use, and whether follow-up actions are completed. Changes in emergency utilization would require a separate evaluation over an appropriate period.
These are planned measurements, not traction.
