• Rapid and accurate assessment

SERAS™ requires less than 1 minute to complete, yet still provides 98% accuracy compared to the gold standard of evaluation by a psychiatrist.

• Low cost

SERAS™ demonstrates a cost advantage based on self-administration and non-reliance on psychiatric expertise at triage.

• Innovative

SERAS™ is an expert system based on a neural network algorithm that can improve its predictive accuracy as the amount of data increases.
