CHAMPIONING MENTAL FITNESS

PsychOnline is deploying a mix of technology and customer centricity to help mental health practitioners and patients connect seamlessly and achieve breakthroughs quicker. 

MEET BRAND PSYCHONLINE 

PsychOnline is an innovative online platform that increases Practitioner Productivity and improves Patient Engagement. The organization’s goal is to ensure a provider-friendly platform while helping increase access to affordable mental health services for patients everywhere. The brand focusses on the lack of quality mental health access globally, and aims to solve this by making it easier for practitioners and mental health facilities to offer their services online on one robust platform while enabling patients to be fully engaged with their treatment plans and track their treatment outcomes. The goal is to turn the online patient experience into one that is comfortable and easy. 

“The platform offers all the tools mental health providers need to run their practice – virtual or in-house: From paperless intakes to scheduling & billing, video conferencing, prescriptions and so much more. Our team is committed to constant innovation and aims to continue refining the platform to meet new challenges within the mental health arena”, says Nirav Dalal – CEO, capturing the DNA of the brand. 

THE BRAND PERSONALITY & PURPOSE 

Here is a visionary and courageous team that is committed to leverage technology to help improve provider efficiency and patient experience. Every effort goes into helping treat chronic diseases that have an initial focus on mental health in the best possible way. This is achieved by empowering providers with the tools and technologies to deliver services more efficiently. 

THE BIG IDEA AND INSPIRATION 

The Founders of PsychOnline are healthcare industry veterans who have studied the field up close for over 15+ years and arrived at the conclusion that the system was ailing from archaic technologies and in-efficiencies, which was leading to significant provider burnouts. By engaging with providers within their network, they understood that a consumer-first technology solution had to be the answer. Long story short, the PsychOnline platform idea followed. The idea took off rather quickly,  and is currently recording a healthy growth clip. Indeed, providers  are witnessing g a 30-40% decrease in the time it takes to treat by using the platform. 

THE NEED GAP BEING ADDRESSED 

PsychOnline is fulfilling the gaping lacuna of an easy to use consumer focused platform that helps reduce the administrative burden on providers and while sustaining workflows and solutions that go beyond the traditional treatments and enable mindset and lifestyle changes that greatly elevate mental health treatment outcomes.
