Director of Product
Trayt Health
Trayt is an end-to-end, outcomes-focused application, which means we not only streamline administrative and clinical workflows, but also measurably impact patient progress. We’re evaluating program effectiveness by how much depression rates are declining in a community, in addition to how many patients were referred using our tools. Trayt is the first technology to address the interplay across the brain and body. Our approach creates a common data platform that maps more than 750 symptoms and factors that affect neuropsychiatric health. The technology helps clinicians improve diagnosis and treatment plans by connecting symptoms that may appear unrelated but ultimately prove to be significant.
