Those suffering from various forms of mental health issues are the primary users of the site. Many companies and other providers sponsor membership to the site as a benefit.
The website and mobile app are the primary methods of engagement.
The assessments that patients take are not visible to the public so I can not elaborate on it. This is what is quoted from the company’s website about the “Easy Clinical Screenings”:
“Patients take digital, gamified mental health assessments conveniently on their mobile device to learn their actual diagnosis and become more self aware. Providers can deploy customized assessment questions specific to each patient. Patients can see their charted progress over time. Assessments are reimbursable by insurers.”
Cloud9 was built to help better give care to those suffering from mental health issues. Cloud9pych.com allows for online mental health screening, live video chat with mental health professionals, and track daily changes in mental health status. Cloud9 is a tool for both those in the medical industry as well as those affected by mental health issues. The idea is that this online/app tool will allow for better, faster, and less expensive mental health care.
Both the online web portal and the mobile app provide a simple but effective dashboard that displays data and progress. A video documenting the system is linked below:
From my research, Cloud9 appears to be unique and first of its kind. There are some online counseling services with apps but not as involved as Cloud9.
The platforms provides online video sessions with healthcare professionals as well as quick assessments that can be taken anytime, anywhere as well as sensors that can be worn. These assessments are tracked (privately) and turned into graphical data that can be easily analyzed by both the patient and the provider.
