For the geriatrician whose informant is the second clinician.
Dementia, function, mood-in-dementia, carer burden and behavioural pathology, captured from the family by self-completion link before the clinic visit. The platform compiles the picture. The specialist holds the consultation.
The informant's voice on the record.
Geriatric assessments live or die on collateral. Family observations, functional decline, behavioural change, carer load. The platform was built so that this information arrives structured and scored, not as a verbal handover the clinician has to transcribe.
Informant scales by self-completion link.
IQCODE-SF, AD8, FAQ, Lawton-IADL, ZBI-12 and NPI-Q go by SMS or email to the family member. They complete from home, in their own time. Responses arrive scored, banded and traceable, on the assessment record, before the patient walks in.
Behavioural pathology, surfaced safely.
NPI-Q domain severities of two or higher on psychosis or aggression are flagged as MANDATORY_REVIEW. ESS scores at the driving-safety threshold appear at the top of the draft report. These are standards-compliance alerts, not treatment recommendations.
Functional and mood-in-dementia, on the same record.
FAQ, Lawton-IADL and DAD cover functional decline at instrumental and basic level. CSDD captures depression where IQCODE-SF flags cognitive concern. The picture compiles across cognition, behaviour, mood, function and carer load.
One draft, audience-tunable.
The integrated draft re-composes for the GP, the specialist neuropsychiatrist, the DBS surgical team or the NDIS planner. Same record, same scores, different reader register. The clinician sets the audience; the draft adjusts.
The informant battery, live in the library today.
The reference scale pool covers 24 questionnaires across cognitive, behavioural, functional and mood domains. The nine below are the informant-led measures most relevant to dementia screening, capacity workups and DBS pre-operative candidacy.
Cognitive screen, informant-rated
Behavioural and neuropsychiatric
Mood, sleep, fatigue
Function and carer load
For workups where formal cognitive testing is in scope, the performance-test catalogue (Testing tier) covers attention, working memory, learning and executive function measures. See the performance-test catalogue.
From referral to integrated impression.
Open the referral. Name the informant.
The assessment record captures the patient, the primary informant (spouse, adult child, paid carer), the referring clinician and the question. Capacity, dementia-spectrum diagnosis, DBS pre-operative candidacy and behavioural management each pre-populate different scale sets.
Send the informant battery by link to family.
IQCODE-SF, AD8, FAQ, Lawton-IADL and ZBI-12 go to the named informant by SMS or email. NPI-Q follows if behavioural change is in scope. The family completes from home, in their own time. Responses arrive scored, banded and on the record.
In-clinic cognitive screen and interview.
The clinic visit holds the cognitive screen, the clinical interview, the mental state examination and the family conversation. The session is captured with identified speakers. Structured sections draft from the transcript and the clinician's notes.
Compose the integrated draft. Review. Sign.
The draft assembles from the informant scales, the in-clinic findings and the interview. NPI-Q psychosis alerts, ESS driving-safety alerts and IQCODE-SF cognitive concern are surfaced at the top. Audience is set, GP letter for the referrer, specialist letter for the neuropsychiatrist, capacity opinion where required. Export to DOCX or PDF.
The boundaries that stay locked.
- —Not a replacement for specialist consultation. The platform compiles informant data and supports the workup; the differential remains with the specialist.
- —Not a diagnostic tool. IQCODE-SF, NPI-Q and AD8 are screening instruments, not diagnostic instruments. Cut-points indicate concern; they do not confirm dementia.
- —Not a prescribing assistant. The platform does not recommend medications or non-pharmacological regimens beyond standards-compliance alerts.
- —Not a medical device. BrainScribe is not registered as a medical device under Australian law.
- —Not a referral or messaging platform. The clinician sends the report and arranges onward referral. BrainScribe stops at the artefact.
