Better Information. Better Mental Health Care.
Cognovo builds the software and the evidence that mental health services need to understand what they do, prove what works, and improve outcomes for the people in their care.
Clinicians, managers and funders all need to know the same things: who is being seen, what is being delivered, and whether people are getting better. Too often that information sits trapped in systems that were never designed for mental health. We fix that.
Purpose-built applications for mental health settings. Designed with clinicians, built for real workflows, and safe with sensitive health information from day one.
Independent, methodologically rigorous evaluation that tells you whether a programme is working, for whom, and what to change. It is written to be read and acted on, not shelved.
Practical help to get more from the data you already hold, from minimum data sets and measure selection through to governance, quality and analysis capability.
Mental health data is not like other data. It is sensitive, often incomplete, and rarely means exactly what the field label says it does.
We work at the join between clinical practice and technology. That means we can sit with a clinician to understand why a form never gets completed, then go and build the system that fixes it, and evaluate whether it actually made a difference.
We work only in mental health and closely related services. No translation required.
Health information handled under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Validated measures, defensible methods and findings you can put in front of a board.
Tools designed around clinical workflow, so the data gets entered in the first place.
We start with your service, your people and the decisions you actually need to make.
An evaluation design or system architecture scoped to your setting, budget and governance.
Iterative delivery with real users, or fieldwork and analysis with rigorous method.
Findings translated into recommendations, and software supported as your service evolves.
Hospital and community teams across inpatient, ambulatory and crisis settings.
NGOs and psychosocial support providers reporting to multiple funders.
Commissioners needing consistent outcome data across providers.
Teams needing robust data capture and analysis for applied studies.
Whether you need a system built, a programme evaluated, or just a second opinion on your data, we're happy to have an initial conversation at no cost.
