Health informatics and analytics firm Pulse Infoframe has launched a COVID-19 pandemic mental health assessment platform in Australia, aimed at assisting consumers to manage their mental health and monitor the short-term and long-term effects of the pandemic.

The free tool is based on Pulse Infoframe's patient reported outcome measures (PROM) platform and is available on any computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection. It involves a Stress Monitor questionnaire that surveys how the person is feeling and dealing with COVID-19. If the person is very concerned or anxious, they are encouraged to participate in the healthie VOX mental health assessment.
