Psychiatric intelligence. In every room.
A screening score measures how much someone is suffering, and the first treatment depends on what is driving it. 50% of people treated for depression are treated in primary care, in an 18-minute visit, with one screening score to go on.

The Singula Care Companion gives primary care physicians a psychiatrist’s read, in the chart before the physician walks in.
The physician starts the visit knowing what to ask, which pattern deserves a second look, and whether this patient may need another level of care.
Running today in independent primary care practices
Every primary care visit that uses Singula creates two futures.
Care now. A structured psychiatric brief for the clinician, in the moment of the visit, so the patient in the room gets a clearer path today.
Innovation next. A longitudinal, real-world record of mental health care at a scale psychiatry has never had, the evidence that enables matching the right treatment to the right person and bringing new treatment options to people who have waited a long time.
A patient comes in tired and not sleeping.
Her screening score says moderate depression.
The same score can sit on top of eight different illnesses and conditions.
Each one calls for a different first step.
Her physician has eighteen minutes with her.
For her, the Brief raises the bipolar spectrum question before an antidepressant is started.
Built by a psychiatrist, and studied in real primary care under institutional review board approval.
Four physicians at two practices have used the Brief with more than seventy patients.
An IRB-approved feasibility study in independent primary care practices. In the first practice’s completed study, every patient above the pre-specified threshold had a documented clinical action, and independent recomputation of all fifty cases found zero computation errors.
The study claims nothing about patient outcomes or diagnostic accuracy. It measured what physicians did at the visit, which is why the result can be taken at face value.
Founded by a psychiatrist who kept watching the pattern arrive too late.
Years of clinical work taught Marc Lener to recognize the moment when ordinary-looking depression stops behaving like ordinary depression. He built Singula to put that recognition in the primary care visit, where most of these decisions are made.

Today’s visit can help build tomorrow’s treatments.
Only about 3 in 10 patients reach remission on their first antidepressant.

Every primary care visit that uses Singula adds to a consented, real-world record of how mental illness presents and what the clinician did next. As it grows across many patients and over time, a record of how people present, what their clinicians did, and how they did afterward is what makes matching the right treatment to the right person possible.
