The system was built to serve those who cannot afford mental health care and to those who are not educated on mental health disorders. This system was built was reduce problems such as: senseless violence, broken families, lost productivity, and costly physical illness from mental disorders- the app can help these issues over time. To ultimately build healthier communities, workplaces, homes, personal relationships, preventing these in future generations.

The system is used by patients, providers, caregivers and hospitals.

The development of the system was funded by IBM, capital factory, telemental health institute, health wildcatters.

The system provides patient and provider sessions via video call, track daily behavior and improvement, clinical expertise, authorization to see your data, to find providers, credentialed counseling, appointments on the go, session history and patient profiles, full scheduling and provider bio, tracked progress, assessments of mental health, automated payments, systems integration, operational analytics and coordinated care.

The data is visualized on an easy to read dashboard with labelled features, a personalized profile, ability to video chat, chats that track emotional and mental status via app and sensors, secured servers, ability to find providers, etc.

Routes of user engagement include an account customizable features, search engine, a mobile app (text and video chat enabled) as well as a wearable tracker feature.

The functions are technically supported through operational analytics- chemical data points that allow more guidelines and recovery plans to be built, a secure infrastructure that allows easy and secure transfers of information for health records and payments, coordination of care between healthcare providers at a touch of a button.

The system relies on partnerships for funding and credibility- IBM, capital factory,telemental health institute, health wildcatters. It relies on a patient provider relationship and a provider-provider relationship.

While I cannot find a direct link between Cloud 9 and other software platforms, other online services and apps have similar features that offer counseling, but none that are readily available that link providers and patients directly.

Users enter basic information, such as their name, age, area (where they live). Their biggest concern regarding their mental health and how they heard about their app, past mental history is also added as well as payment information if required.
