PHQ-9 Built Into Every MindMetrix Assessment

Progress Monitoring, Simplified.

At MindMetrix, we’re always listening to our clinicians and acting on feedback that helps you deliver better care. One of the most common insights we heard:

Some patients score low across the board, but clinicians still want a way to track their progress over time.

We heard you. That’s why we’re excited to announce that the PHQ-9 is now included as contextual information in every MindMetrix assessment, for both adult and adolescent patients, at baseline and at follow-up.

Why the PHQ-9 Matters

Follow-up testing is most valuable when it allows you to see how someone is progressing on the same measures over time. Until now, the HERO scale has been our consistent tool for tracking wellness improvements. With the PHQ-9 now included in every assessment, clinicians also gain a widely recognized outcome measure to monitor overall mental health.

The PHQ-9 is a widely accepted, validated tool. It provides a reliable lens into a patient’s overall mental health over time. By including it as contextual information in every assessment, MindMetrix gives clinicians a consistent, reliable measure to:

• Track changes in overall mental health, even when other conditions aren’t elevated.
• Monitor patient progress at baseline and throughout treatment.
• Support data-driven decisions and care planning.

What This Means for Clinicians

Even when no other conditions are flagged, the PHQ-9 ensures that you always have a baseline and ongoing measure of overall mental health. This feature enhances the value of follow-up testing and gives you a clear, objective way to monitor progress over time.

At MindMetrix, our goal is simple: provide the tools you need to deliver informed, precise, and patient-centered care. With the PHQ-9 now built into every assessment, we’re helping clinicians track progress with greater consistency and clarity.
