Between visits
Know how they are doing before they walk in.
Patients complete validated scales by link on a schedule you set. Scores land on the profile as a course over time.

The evidence
Measuring between visits changes outcomes, when the scores reach the clinician.
73.8% vs 28.8%
of patients reached remission with measurement-based care, against standard care
Small but consistent
improvement in symptoms, and fewer drop-outs, when clinicians get progress feedback
de Jong et al., Clinical Psychology Review, 2021. Meta-analysis, 21,699 patients.
In these studies, the gain came from clinicians using the scores in their treatment decisions. Collecting scores alone is not enough.
For patients not on track, feedback nearly doubled rates of reliable or clinically significant change. Lambert et al., Psychotherapy, 2018, meta-analysis of 24 studies.
Where it breaks
Everyone agrees on measuring. Almost nobody does it.
Guidelines recommend regular symptom measurement, yet psychiatrists rarely use it, and not regularly when they do.
Scales arrive on paper, by email or as photos, and someone types them in by hand.
Scores sit in a folder rather than next to the treatment decisions, so no one sees the trend.
Between visits the clinic hears nothing, and a worsening course shows up weeks late.
How Aisel handles it
You schedule the scales, patients answer them, and you see the course.
- 01
You choose the scales.
From a library of 60+ validated instruments, including PHQ-9, GAD-7 and AUDIT, or your own forms.
- 02
You set the schedule once.
Weekly or fortnightly. Reminders go out automatically.
- 03
Patients answer by link.
In about a minute, on their phone, with no app or login.
- 04
Scores land on the profile.
Scored automatically, dated, and kept with the patient record.
- 05
You see the course over time.
Scores plotted over time, so the trend is visible at a glance.
- 06
You bring it into the session.
The latest scores and trend are on screen when the session opens.
Division of labour
Aisel shows the course. The clinician decides what to change.
Aisel collects, scores and displays. It does not interpret scores, set alerts that recommend action, or suggest treatment.
Scores are not watched in real time. They are read when the clinician opens the profile or the session.
For the patient
A minute a week, and a clinician who knows how it has been going.
They answer by a short link, not a paper form or an app.
Their own account counts.
How the weeks between visits went, rather than one retrospective answer at the next appointment.
They know why they are asked.
The scores are part of their treatment, not paperwork.
Frequently asked
These are the questions clinicians ask.
Does anyone watch the scores in real time?
+
No. Scores are read when the clinician opens the patient profile or the session. Aisel does not raise alerts.
Which scales can we use, and can we add our own?
+
Any of the 60+ validated instruments in the scale library, or your own forms.
How often can we send them?
+
Weekly or fortnightly, on a schedule you set once per patient.
What if a patient stops answering?
+
Reminders go out automatically, and the gap is visible on the profile.
