Repeated Validated Screening
Administers validated screeners (e.g., EPDS, GAD-7) at intervals your team sets, not just once.
Perinatal Mental Health
Screen for anxiety and depression more than once
Perinatal anxiety and depression are the most common complications of pregnancy, yet screening is often a single questionnaire at one visit. Viv delivers repeated, validated screening, between-visit check-ins, and protocol-driven escalation—so symptoms aren't missed.
Patient & clinician guide: recognizing postpartum anxiety and depression
Why This Matters
One screening at one visit isn't enough
Mood and anxiety symptoms fluctuate across pregnancy and the first postpartum year. Point-in-time screening misses patients whose symptoms emerge between visits.
1 in 5
perinatal patients experience a mood or anxiety disorder
~50%
of cases go undiagnosed without repeated screening
12 mo
the postpartum window where symptoms can emerge
Point-in-Time Screening
A single EPDS or GAD-7 at one visit misses symptoms that emerge later.
Stigma & Silence
Patients minimize or hide symptoms in person, especially around mood.
Escalation Gaps
Positive screens don't always reach the right clinician or resource quickly.
Lost to Follow-Up
Referrals to behavioral health stall without active follow-up.
How Viv Helps
Built for end-to-end workflows
Viv turns mental-health screening into a continuous, supported process with clear escalation pathways your team defines. Also used by private OB/Gyn practices and community health clinics. See our guide to AI for OB/Gyn practices.
Risk-Tiered Escalation
Positive screens and concerning responses route to a prioritized clinician alert based on your protocol.
Crisis Safeguards
Responses indicating self-harm risk trigger immediate escalation and surface crisis resources.
Between-Visit Check-Ins
Supportive, structured check-ins capture how patients are actually doing between appointments.
Warm Handoff Documentation
Screening history and responses compiled into a summary ready for behavioral health referral.
Reimbursement-Ready Artifacts
Suggested codes, screening logs, and care-plan notes generated automatically from interactions.

Common Questions
Questions about perinatal anxiety workflows
Which screening tools does Viv use?
Viv can administer validated instruments your team selects, such as the EPDS and GAD-7, at the intervals you define across pregnancy and the postpartum year—rather than a single point-in-time screen.
What happens if a patient indicates they're in crisis?
Responses indicating self-harm risk trigger immediate escalation to your clinical team and surface crisis resources to the patient. Escalation pathways are configured to your protocol.
Does Viv diagnose or treat depression?
No. Viv screens, monitors, and documents. Diagnosis, treatment, and referrals remain with your clinicians and behavioral health partners.
