Before the session

Walk into every session already briefed

Before each appointment, Althio turns the patient's week, scores and flags into a brief you can read in under a minute: what changed, what repeated and what needs attention first.

Sleep routine and the Thursday night episode.

The problem

The first fifteen minutes go on catching up

By the next session, most of what happened in the week has been forgotten or smoothed over. The clinician starts cold, and the session spends its opening on reconstruction.

How it works

Three steps, from setup to the session

  1. You set the care plan

    You choose what Althio should follow for this patient: sleep, mood, avoidance, practice and measures.

  2. The patient checks in

    Between sessions, the patient shares what happens, in their own words, when it happens.

  3. The brief is ready

    Before the session, Althio writes a brief you can read in under a minute, with flags at the top.

Features

What is included

  • What changed

    Signals that moved since the last session, such as sleep, mood or plans cancelled.

  • Needs attention first

    Any flag from the week and how it was handled, before anything else.

  • Trends

    Four-week views of the signals in the care plan.

  • Measures

    The latest PHQ-9, GAD-7 or custom scale score beside the previous one.

  • Suggested focus

    A short suggestion for where the session might start. You decide.

  • Shaped by the care plan

    The brief follows what you asked Althio to follow, and nothing else.

How long does a brief take to read?

A brief is written to be read in under a minute, so it fits in the minutes before a session.

Does the brief show the patient's messages?

The brief shows patterns and the moments that need you, not pages of transcript. Patients are told what their clinician will see.

Can I change what the brief covers?

Yes. The brief follows the care plan, and you can change the care plan at any session.
