How OutcomeMinds works
3 tabs · 5-section variable workflow
Each variable runs through five AI-assisted sections — map modalities, browse instruments, justify the pick, check feasibility, freeze the protocol. Outputs roll into a manuscript-ready Methods section.

Modality coverage
13 outcome modalities — all covered
From patient-reported instruments to imaging endpoints. Every modality gets its own scoring criteria, COSMIN ratings, and feasibility checks.
Subjective
3 modalitiesPatient-Reported (PRO)
PROMIS, EQ-5D, SF-36 — patient self-report.
Observer-Reported (ObsRO)
Caregiver or family proxy ratings.
Clinician-Administered (ClinRO)
HAM-D, MADRS — clinician judgement scales.
Objective
4 modalitiesPhysiological / Sensor
Heart rate, blood pressure, actigraphy.
Biological / Laboratory
Biomarkers, blood panels, genomics.
Imaging
MRI, CT, ultrasound, retinal imaging.
Digital Trace / Device
Wearable streams, app interaction logs.
Functional
3 modalitiesPerformance-Based (PerfO)
6MWT, MoCA — observed task performance.
Behavioral Observation
Structured observation, video-coded behaviour.
Record-Based
EHR extraction, registry data, claims.
Composite & Endpoint
3 modalitiesClinical Event / Endpoint
Mortality, hospitalisation, MACE.
Economic / Resource-Use
QALY, ICER, length of stay, cost.
Composite / Index
Combined endpoints, multi-domain scores.
Compliance
Built on the standards
psychometrists demand
Every instrument is rated against COSMIN before it lands on your shortlist.
Why this matters
A name isn't enough.
You need the full instrument dossier.
Other tools
Give you a list. Good luck.
Most AI tools spit out instrument names — SF-36, PHQ-9, EQ-5D. They skip the dossier: validation evidence in your population, MCID, licensing fees, translation availability. You end up Googling for two days before your shortlist holds up.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from researchers, supervisors, and IEC reviewers.
Can I use PROMs from PROMIS?
Yes. The catalog includes the full PROMIS item bank (Profile-29, short forms, CATs) with NIH-validated psychometrics. PROMIS is public domain, so no licensing fees, and most measures are translated into 40+ languages including Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali.
Do you handle licensing fees and permission requests?
We surface every instrument's licensing terms — free, fee-based, or restricted — and link to the publisher's permission form. Fee estimates are shown before you commit. We don't pay fees on your behalf, but you'll never be surprised at submission time.
What about Indian-validated tools?
ICMR-recommended outcome measures, India-validated translations, and cohort-specific PROs (e.g., Hindi WHO-DAS, Tamil EQ-5D) are flagged with their validation citations. Useful for IRB and ICMR-funded study submissions.
How is this different from generic AI tools that suggest instruments?
Generic AI gives you names. OutcomeMinds gives you a dossier — COSMIN ratings across 9 measurement properties, MCID, score range, validation evidence in your population, licensing terms, and language availability. Every claim is citation-backed.
Can I use OutcomeMinds for qualitative or mixed-methods research?
Yes. The 13 modalities include behavioural observation and record-based extraction. For purely qualitative protocols, the platform still helps you select observation frameworks and structured-interview instruments.
What if my variable doesn't fit a standard modality?
The modality map ranks all 13 modalities for every variable. If no modality scores well, you'll see "Composite / Index" or "Adaptable" candidates — the AI flags when an existing instrument needs adaptation rather than direct adoption.
Can I freeze a protocol and re-use it across studies?
Yes. Frozen measurement protocols become SOPs you can clone into new studies. Each freeze locks scoring rules, timing, missing-data handling, and quality-control checks so your protocols stay reproducible.
Does this integrate with ethics committee submission?
The exported Methods section is SPIRIT-compliant and includes a COSMIN justification table, instrument bibliography, and burden assessment. Acceptable for IEC, IRB, and ICMR-funded grant submissions.
What export formats are supported?
DOCX, PDF, and Markdown for the full Methods section. Individual instrument dossiers can be exported as standalone PDFs for supervisor review or grant appendices.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel from Settings. Access continues to the end of the paid period. Your frozen protocols and exports remain yours forever. No retention calls, no questions asked.
