The HiBoop Algorithm: Adaptive Intelligence for Mental Health Assessment
HiBoop's algorithm dynamically selects and prioritizes mental health assessments based on client responses, clinical best practices, and evidence-based decision pathways—reducing assessment time by 75% while improving comorbidity detection.
HiBoop Is a Data Collection Tool, Not a Diagnostic System
HiBoop automates assessment selection and scoring to provide clinicians with comprehensive data. It does not diagnose conditions, interpret clinical significance, or replace professional judgment. All results must be reviewed and interpreted by qualified clinicians.
How Our Algorithm Works
Combining clinical expertise with intelligent automation to deliver personalized assessment pathways
Adaptive Pathways
Dynamic assessment selection based on real-time responses, ensuring each client receives the most relevant evaluations for their specific presentation.
Smart branching logic
Clinical Intelligence
Leverages validated assessment tools and evidence-based screening protocols to identify primary concerns and common comorbidities.
40+ validated instruments
Continuous Optimization
Assessment pathways are refined based on aggregated outcome data and clinical feedback, improving accuracy and efficiency over time.
Data-driven refinement
How HiBoop Connects Pre-Screens to Full Assessments
HiBoop begins with a brief initial assessment (~12 questions) to identify symptom domains, then automatically selects comprehensive assessments, detecting comorbidities that might otherwise be missed.
Example: Intelligent Assessment Pathway
Initial Assessment (~12 questions)
Client answers brief questions across multiple symptom domains
Client Profile: Female, 28 years old
Responses indicate: Moderate mood symptoms detected
Client completes on any device
HiBoop Algorithm Analyzes
- →Responses above threshold: triggers PHQ-9 (full depression screening)
- →65% comorbidity rate with anxiety: triggers GAD-7
- →Female, 28: high ADHD misdiagnosis rate in demographics, triggers ASRS
Comprehensive Assessment Battery
PHQ-9
Depression
GAD-7
Anxiety
ASRS
ADHD
Result: Complete clinical picture in 20-25 minutes instead of multiple sessions
Instant scoring available to clinicians
Real-World Impact: Early Detection at CATC
During initial deployment at Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres, HiBoop's automated screening identified previously undetected mood disorder symptoms in a client undergoing addiction treatment.
"The automated screening enabled immediate psychiatric referral, potentially preventing weeks of delayed diagnosis. The early detection capabilities have proven invaluable—having automated flagging of clinical concerns ensures nothing is missed during busy intake periods."
The Ins and Outs of Smart Assessment
✅ How HiBoop Works
- •Intelligent branching based on client responses
- •Evidence-based assessment selection
- •Validated clinical instruments and protocols
- •Continuous improvement through outcome tracking
❌ What HiBoop Doesn't Do
- •Replace clinical judgment or diagnosis
- •Generate treatment recommendations
- •Use unvalidated or experimental assessments
- •Make predictions beyond assessment scope
Intelligent Comorbidity Detection
HiBoop automatically screens for commonly co-occurring conditions based on established clinical research, ensuring comprehensive assessment without unnecessary burden.
Clinicians access all assessment data in one organized dashboard
| Primary Condition | Depression | Anxiety | PTSD | ADHD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Depression | 1.00 | 0.65 | 0.48 | 0.35 |
| Anxiety | 0.65 | 1.00 | 0.52 | 0.28 |
| PTSD | 0.48 | 0.52 | 1.00 | 0.31 |
| ADHD | 0.35 | 0.28 | 0.31 | 1.00 |
Real-World Implementation Success
HiBoop's intuitive design enables rapid clinical adoption—CATC achieved full staff adoption within days rather than the weeks typically required for healthcare technology.
Faster Adoption, Better Outcomes
"Our team was using the system productively within days. In my 25 years in mental health, I've never seen technology adoption happen this quickly or this smoothly."
Leadership had budgeted several weeks for training, but the intuitive design enabled immediate adoption by clinical staff across all facilities.
Complete Clinical Picture
"We've moved from measuring success purely through relapse rates to capturing a complete picture of client recovery, including quality of life metrics and overall well-being. The platform has given us the ability to demonstrate program effectiveness with concrete data rather than anecdotal evidence."
Continuous Improvement Through Data
Outcome Tracking
Every assessment completion and treatment outcome feeds back into our system. We track which assessment combinations lead to successful treatment paths.
if (outcome.successful && path.unique) {
rules.strengthen(path);
}
Clinical Validation
New rules are tested against historical data before deployment. Each update must improve accuracy without introducing false positives.
validate(newRule) {
return accuracy > baseline &&
falsePositives < threshold;
}
The HiBoop Advantage
Our approach ensures reliable, consistent assessments through:
Evidence-Based
All pathways grounded in validated clinical research
Reproducible
Same inputs always produce the same outputs
Auditable
Complete logs of decision paths for compliance
