Psychiatry

Know how every patient is responding, before the next visit.

Interval Health sends intake forms, rating scales and medication check-ins to families and patients by text, scores them and flags what needs attention. Staff prepare the work; the doctor decides.

For child and adult psychiatry practices starting and adjusting medications.
The problem

Between visits, practices fly blind

Paper packets and phone tag

Intake forms arrive on paper or by email and get retyped. Rating scales are scored by hand, if they get scored at all.

Side effects that surface late

A worsening score or a new side effect often comes to light at the next appointment, weeks after it began.

Doctors buried in routine work

Refill calls, scheduling and follow-up land on the doctor's desk, even when staff could prepare them.

How it works

From intake to a decision

  1. 1

    Intake arrives scored

    Parents, teachers and patients complete forms on their phone before the first visit. Vanderbilt, SCARED and PHQ-9 are scored the moment they're submitted.

  2. 2

    Check-ins after every start or change

    A text link goes out on a schedule, weekly at first. No app, no password, and progress saves as they go.

  3. 3

    Rules flag what matters

    Worsening scores and side effects become review flags. An urgent safety answer shows emergency numbers at once and pages your on-call clinician.

  4. 4

    Staff prepare, the doctor decides

    Staff call, gather and prepare. The doctor sees the evidence in one place, and refill requests come with controlled-substance checks.

Example · Starting an SSRI

Four check-ins, one steady response

What your team sees for one patient across the first month on a new medication. The week 2 flag went to staff, who called the parent that morning; the doctor kept the dose and rechecked in a week.

What you get

What changes for your practice

Intake that arrives scored

Scales are charted against the baseline, so you see the trend instead of a stack of forms.

Side effects caught in the first weeks

Rules flag them while there is still time to act, not at the next appointment.

Fewer calls to the front desk

Families request refills, confirm visits and pay by text. Open slots go to patients who need to be seen sooner.

A pre-visit brief with sources

An AI draft summarizes the period since the last visit, and every line links to the answer or note it came from.

The doctor decides

Interval collects, scores, flags and drafts. It never changes a dose, approves a refill or sends a prescription on its own.
