Validation, reliability, and specificity of CliniCom™ Psychiatric Assessment Software

Area of Science:

• Psychiatry
• Medical Informatics
• Digital Health

Background:

• Accurate diagnosis of mental health disorders is crucial for effective treatment.
• Existing assessment tools often require separate surveys for each disorder.
• There is a need for efficient and simultaneous multi-disorder assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the specificity and reproducibility of CliniCom™ Psychiatric Assessment Software.
• To determine the software's ability to diagnose five prevalent mental health disorders.
• To assess the tool's performance in simultaneous multi-disorder assessment.

Main Methods:

• Utilized CliniCom™ software, an online assessment tool with proprietary algorithms.
• Conducted test-retest analysis to assess diagnostic consistency.
• Compared CliniCom™ diagnoses with established assessment tools for five disorders: ADHD, GAD, MDD, OCD, and Social Phobia.

Main Results:

• CliniCom™ demonstrated concordance with established tools for diagnosing the five disorders.
• Overall test-retest concordance was 78% for single disorder diagnoses.
• Concordance decreased to 53% for subjects with multiple (2-4) co-occurring disorders.
• Higher concordance rates were observed for individual persistent disorders: MDD (83.3%), ADHD (81.0%), and OCD (68.4%).

Conclusions:

• CliniCom™ Psychiatric Assessment Software exhibits specificity in identifying psychiatric conditions.
• The software demonstrates reproducibility over multiple administrations, particularly for persistent disorders.
• CliniCom™ offers a potential solution for simultaneous multi-disorder assessment in mental health.
