How Connected Mind Works
A two-tier approach that replaces guesswork with comprehensive screening. Instead of picking one tool and hoping you chose right, cast a wide net — then test only what needs testing.
The Net vs. the Pole
Traditional Approach
Pick ONE screening tool — PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety — and hope you guessed right. You screen for one condition at a time, missing everything else.
The Connected Mind Approach
Screen for ALL 6 conditions at once with 8 questions. Then test only what was flagged using targeted Standardized Assessment Modules (SAMs). No guesswork, no wasted time.
Two Tiers, One Workflow
Broad Screening
The patient answers 8 carefully designed questions that screen across all 6 behavioral health conditions simultaneously. Results indicate which conditions are flagged for further evaluation and which are clear.
SAMs — Targeted Testing
Standardized Assessment Modules (SAMs) run deeper evaluations on ONLY the conditions flagged by the screen. Unflagged conditions are skipped entirely — no unnecessary questions, no wasted time for patients or staff.
6 Conditions, One Screen
Connected Mind screens for the 6 most prevalent behavioral health conditions seen in primary care — all in a single patient encounter.
Depression
Screens for depressive symptoms using validated question patterns
Anxiety
Identifies generalized anxiety indicators across multiple domains
ADHD
Flags attention-deficit/hyperactivity patterns in adults
Bipolar Disorder
Screens for mood cycling and bipolar spectrum indicators
Substance Use Disorder
Identifies potential substance use concerns requiring follow-up
Somatic Symptom Disorder
Flags somatic symptom burden that may indicate underlying conditions
Built for Primary Care Workflows
Patient-Completed
Patients complete the screening on a tablet or computer in the waiting room. No clinician time required during the screen.
Instant Clinical Report
Results are available before the patient enters the exam room. Clinicians review a structured summary of flagged and cleared conditions.
Billable Encounters
Screening and testing are billable with standard CPT codes (96127, 96138, 96130). Connected Mind fits into existing reimbursement workflows.
Under 5 Minutes Total
Screening takes about 1 minute. SAMs testing adds 2–5 minutes for flagged conditions only. Most encounters finish well under 5 minutes.
