The Science
Connected Mind was built on peer-reviewed clinical evidence — not marketing claims. Here is the study, the methodology, and the results.
The Validation Study
Connected Mind's screening approach was evaluated in a peer-reviewed study published by Springer. The study assessed the clinical utility of the multi-condition behavioral health screening tool in real-world primary care settings.
Negative Predictive Power
In a peer-reviewed study of 234 patients across 5 independent primary care practices, Connected Mind's screening achieved 96.4% negative predictive power — meaning when the screen indicates a patient is clear for a given condition, it is correct 96.4% of the time.
What is negative predictive power? It measures how reliably a negative screening result (no flag) corresponds to a true negative. A high NPP means clinicians can have confidence that unflagged conditions are genuinely absent, reducing the risk of missed conditions.
Positive screens automatically proceed to Connected Mind's validated Standardized Assessment Modules (SAMs) for confirmatory testing, where sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive power vary by condition.
Individual results may vary based on patient population, clinical context, and implementation. Connected Mind is a clinical decision support tool designed for use by licensed healthcare professionals. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
Validation Methodology
Connected Mind's screening results were validated against established, well-recognized clinical instruments. This multi-instrument comparison demonstrates that the tool performs comparably to or better than running multiple single-condition screeners separately.
