Solution for healthcare and therapy providers
Therapists often spend their first sessions with clients defining the problem - instead they could spend the first sessions fixing it
Successful therapy and treatment plan is built on deep psychological evidence-based understanding of the person. In Formulator we increase this impact with the latest technology. Automated case formulation furthers and targets the therapeutic process.
This is how you can make your practice stand out with Formulator:
-
A good case formulation strengthens collaborative and active participation towards agreed goals. It reinforces the feeling of being heard and validated by putting the most relevant issues for the client to the center of care from the very beginning.
A client feels recognized and heard when they are met holistically, as autonomous individuals, and exactly with the challenges they sought help for. Case formulation allows your client to be prepared for your appointments, and to get the best out of their valuable time with you.
-
Understanding the psychological processes behind the client’s distress brings a great amount of value to appointments compared to the symptom check lists that are typically done in the beginning of therapy. The case formulation approach helps you to see below the surface and guides the intervention to directions that are most relevant for the client.
-
All therapeutic work starts by creating a trusting environment. A therapeutic alliance, that consists of bond, goal setting and tasks, has been found to be one of the most important aspects of successful therapy regardless of therapeutic school or education. Formulator facilitates the meaningful formulation of goals and tasks.
We have built a conversational agent using research-based evidence and decades of clinical expertise, complying with EU data protection regulations and industry standards for data security. A client engages in a dialogue with our conversational agent, which produces a case formulation that is shared with their clinician. The conversational agent produces added value across all user profiles.
The client gets a good beginning to therapeutic care that they feel is accurate. The case formulation is an intervention itself where the client reflects on their situation and their personal goals. This leads to increased self-reflection and therapeutic readiness.
Therapy professionals understand the psychological case at hand with related psycho-social relevance to the individual and can build an optimized care plan immediately.
The health care or therapy provider (organization) gets increased availability with consistent quality case formulations at scale. This enables client management and care optimization. Formulator enables caring of the professionals’ well-being, by increased sense of certainty and autonomy at work, that comes with better understanding and preparedness for new client meetings.
“Formulator has succeeded in building a unique tool that can benefit clients and therapists. Using a natural language processing conversation agent, Formulator helps the therapy client generate a beginning case formulation. The product is engaging, feels empathic and covers essential areas commonly discussed in an initial psychotherapy intake evaluation. Clients benefit from reflectively engaging the tool as well as from the evidence-based psychoeducation, and gently worded suggestions, that are provided. Therapists can quickly learn about their clients and can consider ideas for therapy that are tailored to their client’s needs.”

Case formulation
Creating a case formulation can take up to three to ten sessions depending on the clinician’s theoretical background and treatment experience. The use of a case formulation is seen as a central part of good clinical praxis and is one of the central pillars of quality control. The case formulation increases person-centred care and the valuable outcomes of it. When compared to assessment as usual, a high-quality case formulation ensures a more coherent understanding of the client's and the employee's goals, tasks, and commitment to care. It is widely accepted that what shows early in treatment plays a vital part later.
Automated case formulation allows productivity and quality improvement in the application of expert resources. Professionals can focus on choosing and carrying out interventions rather than collecting data.
Formulator provides consistent quality for everyone, in every meeting for each meeting to next, for each client, by all professionals and every day.
Put in place a person centric, not a professional-driven process that makes it easy to manage the client stream and ensure consistent quality in psychological evaluation and documentation.
