1. What is Decision Catcher?

Decision Catcher is a clinical decision support system developed by Boston Neuromind LLC. It helps clinicians better understand your cognitive and emotional state, and recommends suitable training methods.

What the system does

Important: Decision Catcher does not replace your clinician's diagnosis. All final decisions are made by your clinician. The system is a support tool.

3. How the Assessment Works

During the initial assessment

  1. Identify your 5 most challenging current symptoms
  2. 5-axis evaluation: attention, executive function, emotional, social, somatic
  3. Enter temporal information about when symptoms started
  4. (Optional) Biometric measurements — HRV, CPT (continuous performance test)

How to prepare

Tip: The assessment is a conversation. Don't try to give "right" answers — just describe your state honestly. That leads to the most accurate results.

4. Understanding Your Results

What you'll receive

How to interpret results

  1. System scores are reference data. Your clinician interprets them with you.
  2. A high score doesn't necessarily mean "bad" — it helps you understand your patterns.
  3. Multiple diagnoses may appear simultaneously. This is common; the system shows priorities.
  4. "Differential diagnosis" results are not medical diagnoses. Your clinician's final evaluation is the diagnosis.

5. Weekly Progress Entry

Once a week, take 5-10 minutes to record your changes.

What you'll enter

Why it matters: As weekly data accumulates, the system learns your change patterns and provides more accurate recommendations. Please don't skip — enter every week.

When to enter

Enter at any convenient time during the week. You'll receive a reminder email once a week.

6. 4-Week Outcome Assessment

4 weeks after starting training, you'll have an assessment to measure changes. Takes about 60 minutes.

What happens in this assessment

Possible outcomes

  1. Effective — Continue same training, possibly adjust intensity
  2. Partial effect — Modify training combination (e.g., add emotional regulation to attention)
  3. Limited effect — Review diagnosis, consider different approach
