Recovery Cat is a digital application providing decision support for outpatients with severe mental diseases (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and recurrent depression) and their physicians. Unfortunately, many drugs only work for a few patients. For the clinical decision whether a patient responds to a drug and the treatment should therefore be continued or changed, physicians have to disentangle the time course of life events, symptoms, side effects and drug intake. Recovery Cat provides a digital decision support tool for outpatients with severe mental disorders and their physicians to achieve more collaborative and data-driven decisions.

By tracing patients’ individual target symptoms, drug intake and side effects, Recovery Cat aims at early detection of non-responsiveness, side effects, and at-risk patients. Recovery Cat is a customizable patient monitoring and therapy support app in its core and is directly integrated into a running therapy. It enables patients and doctors to make a decision together with the help of the evaluation dashboard. It helps patients and doctors to closer collaborate in finding the right medical treatment fast.

Recovery Cat is a highly interdisciplinary and experienced team from psychiatrists, psychotherapists, product strategists, over techies and UX/UI designers.The product is currently tested in a feasibility study in two psychatrics clinics, whilst the team is preparing its company foundation, and is actively fundraising.
