Between sessions

Patients stay engaged between sessions

Patients check in by text or voice, keep up with their homework and measures, and get support within the plan their clinician set, at any hour.

The problem

Life happens in the other 167 hours

Hard moments rarely land in the session. A patient who has support at 11:42 on a Tuesday night, within their clinician's plan, arrives on Monday with the week still in view.

How it works

Three steps, from setup to the session

  1. The patient is invited

    The clinician invites the patient, who agrees to what Althio does and who sees what.

  2. The patient checks in

    At any hour, by text or voice, in their own words.

  3. Althio responds within the plan

    It encourages the practice the clinician set, and escalates any risk.

    Patients can change their consent at any time.

Limits

What it does and what it does not do

What it does

  • Listens and responds within the care plan
  • Reminds patients of the practice their clinician set
  • Escalates risk to a person by the practice's protocol

What it does not do

  • Act as a therapist
  • Act as a crisis service
  • Give a diagnosis or medical advice

Risk always reaches a person

When a check-in shows risk, Althio shows crisis resources to the patient and follows the practice's protocol to reach a clinician, the on-call line or emergency services.
