The documentation problem in child therapy
Ask any speech therapist, occupational therapist or child psychologist in India what consumes their evenings, and the answer is usually the same: report writing. A single formal assessment report can take 60–90 minutes to draft, format and check against diagnostic criteria. Multiply that across a caseload of 30–50 children and documentation becomes a second full-time job.
At the same time, the expectations on those reports are rising. Schools ask for accommodation letters referencing formal criteria. Insurers and government schemes ask for standardised codes. Referring paediatricians expect ICD-aligned terminology.
What Gabify’s AI assessment reports do
Gabify Connect’s v2.01 release introduced AI-powered single assessment reports that include DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic codes where a formal diagnosis has been entered by the clinician. The workflow:
- 1The therapist completes an assessment inside the child’s case file.
- 2The AI drafts a structured report: background, test administered, scores and severity ranges, interpretation, and recommendations.
- 3Where the clinician has recorded a formal diagnosis, the report includes the matching DSM-5 and ICD-11 codes, with ICD-11 code suggestions available in the improved diagnosis entry workspace.
- 4The clinician reviews, edits and signs. The report locks and can be shared with parents on the clinic letterhead.
DSM-5 and ICD-11: why both matter in India
India’s clinical ecosystem sits between two frameworks. DSM-5 remains widely used in psychological practice and training, while ICD-11 — the WHO’s current international standard — is increasingly required in hospital systems, disability certification pathways and digital health records. Reports that carry both speak the language of every stakeholder: psychologists, paediatricians, schools and government bodies.
Accuracy, safety and the clinician’s role
AI drafting does not mean AI diagnosing. In Gabify Connect:
- The Diagnostic Workspace separates the pre-diagnosis summary, AI suggestions and the formal diagnosis, which only a clinician can record.
- Every report requires clinician review and signature before it is locked and shared.
- Reports are generated from the child’s actual case data — assessments, session notes and history — not from generic templates.
This mirrors global best practice for AI in clinical documentation: the machine accelerates the draft; the professional owns the judgement.
The impact for clinics
Early adopters describe three consistent gains: reports delivered to parents within the same visit rather than the following week; more consistent quality across junior and senior therapists; and stronger referral relationships because documents arrive in the standardised format doctors expect.
Combined with support for 23 Indian languages, clinics can now hand a parent a formally coded clinical report in English for the school — and the same report in Hindi, Tamil or Bengali for the family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Gabify’s AI assign diagnostic codes automatically? +
Codes appear when a clinician records a formal diagnosis. The system suggests ICD-11 codes; the clinician confirms.
Is ICD-11 accepted in India? +
Yes. ICD-11 is the WHO’s current international classification and is progressively being adopted across Indian health systems.
Can I edit the AI draft? +
Fully. The draft is a starting point; the signed report is always the clinician’s document.
What assessments are supported? +
All assessments recorded in the Gabify Connect case file, with composite multi-assessment reports also available.
How long does report generation take? +
Typically under a minute for the draft; total time depends on your review.
