PsychSurveys simplifies the process of psychometric assessment; an essential element of evidence based treatment. Mental health professionals in private or group practices can use PsychSurveys to administer customizable diary cards/tracking sheets as well as valid and reliable mental health surveys to their patients to measure distress levels and track patient progress over time. PsychSurveys was developed in partnership with psychologists who are intensively trained in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies. It improves client care by allowing you to objectively measure your clients' symptoms and use the results to highlight progress or identify areas needing further intervention. Simply choose which survey(s) you wish to have your patient(s) complete and how often. Patients can use either the mobile app for alerts and completion of surveys at home or while in session, or they can receive email alerts with links to complete surveys using a web browser on a PC or mobile device. Patients can opt out of the email alerts at any time simply by clicking the link in the email to opt out. If patients use the mobile app, they'll see reminders and alerts on their iPhone or iPad when surveys are due and a badge icon indicating how many surveys are due. As surveys are completed, they are automatically scored. Each patient's progress is tracked over time for each applicable survey. The reports include all relevant scales and sub-scales and you can drill down to see how the patient responded to the questions in the surveys for each time they completed a survey. We offer 150 pre-configured surveys: Anxiety: AAI, AAQ-OC, ASQ-2, ATSS, BDD-YBOCS, CAPS, CY-BOCS, DASS-21, DOCS, FASA, GAD-2, GAD-7, HAI-18, ITQ, ITQ-CA, K-GSADS-A, LSAS, MGH-HPS, Mini-SPIN, MIST-A, OASIS, OCI-4, OCI-12, OCI-R, OBQ-44, PCL-5, PCL-Child, PCL-Civilian, PDSS-SR, PSS-I-5, PSWQ, PSWQ-C, PTCI, SCARED-C, SCARED-P, SCI-R, SI-R, SIAS, SMSP-A, SMSP-C, SOCS, SPIS, SPIN, SPOVI, SPS-R, TRS, TSC-C, TSC-P, Y-BOCS, ZSAS Borderline Personality Disorder: BEST, BSL-23, DBT-WCCL, ISAS, LPI, MSI-BPD, BPFSC-11 Relationship Satisfaction: BARE, CSI Mood Disorders: ATQ, BADS-SF, BDI, BRFL-A, BRFL-12, CES-DC, CORE-10, DAS-SF1, DAS-SF2, DASS-21, DSRS-C, EPDS, GDS, PHQ-2, PHQ-9, PHQ-A, QIDS-SR16, RRS-SF-10, USSIS, WSAS, WSASY, ZSDS Eating Disorders: ED-15, EDE-Q, EDE-QS, EDQOL, IES-2, PVA, SCOFF, YFAS Emotion Dysregulation: AAQ-2, ASRM, DERS, DERS-18 Substance Abuse: AUDIT, BAM, DrInC, InDUC-M, SDS, SIP-R, URICA Therapeutic Relationship: CALPAS-P, CHS, HAq-II, MHCS Clinician Surveys: EBPPAS, ProQOL Others: 6-PAQ, AAQ, ADNM-20, AEX, AHS, ASRS, B-MEAQ, Brief COPE, BRS, C-SSRS, CFQ, DAR-5, DES-II, DHEQ, FAD, FFMQ-15, FMPS, FMPS-B, FS, IPS, ISI, MHC-SF, PANAS-C, PANAS-C-P, PBQ, PBQ-SF, PNS, PQ-LES-Q, PSC, PSQI, PSS, Psy-Flex, PTQ, Q-LES-Q-SF, SAPAS, SCS, SMQ, SRAS-R, SRM, SRQ, SSQ, UPPS-P, VADRS-P, VQ, Y-PSC Diary Cards are a tool to help patients track emotions, urges, and behaviors on a daily basis. This aids clinicians in identifying their patients areas of struggle over the course of the week to more effectively prioritize session time and identify points for intervention. The diary card also functions as a tool for increasing awareness of emotions and urges for clients, as well as helping them identify Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills they could use in moments of distress. When patients complete Diary Cards, the results are available for viewing instantly. There is no need for patients to email their diary cards to you each week. This feature is fully customizable and could be used as tracking sheets focusing on emotions, urges, and behaviors for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) based interventions as well. With PsychSurveys, patients do not need to email you their results from surveys and diary cards - the results are available to you in real-time automatically. In addition, setting up surveys and diary cards for patients is quick, simple, and centralized.

HeartSync Mobile

Features
Read full description

HeartSync Mobile sends your live heart rate from iPhone and Apple Watch to HeartSync, the VST3/AU plugin. Shape tempo, effects and sound with your heartbeat, live in your DAW. You need both: HeartSync Mobile on your iPhone and the HeartSync plugin in your DAW. USE THE HEART-RATE GEAR YOU ALREADY HAVE • Apple Watch: open HeartSync on your watch, or start from your iPhone, for real-time heart rate. • Bluetooth heart-rate devices: chest straps, arm bands and watches that broadcast heart rate over Bluetooth, such as Polar, Wahoo, Garmin and COROS. HeartSync remembers your device and reconnects on its own. • Apple Health as a fallback. Updates can be delayed, depending on how often your device syncs. LIVE AND RELIABLE • Real-time streaming over Bluetooth, about once per second. • Keeps streaming while your iPhone is locked. • See your BPM live on the iPhone dial and on your wrist. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE • No account and no sign-up. • Heart rate goes over Bluetooth to HeartSync on your own Mac. • Optional analytics, off by default. Streaming works either way, and no heart-rate readings are ever included. WHAT YOU NEED • iPhone with iOS 16.4 or later • HeartSync plugin (free, VST3/AU) running in your DAW on a Device with Bluetooth • A heart-rate source: Apple Watch, a Bluetooth heart-rate device, or Apple Health HeartSync is a creative and biofeedback tool, not a medical device.
