Ask any therapist in India what their biggest documentation frustration is, and the answer is almost always the same: case histories. The NIMHANS 12-section proforma is the clinical standard across India — rigorous, comprehensive, and universally recognised. It is also time-consuming to maintain, impossible to search digitally when printed, and easily lost.
Connect by Gabify brings the NIMHANS format — and four others — into a fully digital, AI-integrated clinical workflow.
Five Case History Formats in One Platform
The NIMHANS proforma is the de facto standard for paediatric and allied health case histories across India. Connect's digital NIMHANS format preserves all 12 sections of the proforma in a structured, searchable digital record. No more paper files. No more "I left the case folder at the clinic."
The Mayes & Gross developmental history format is widely used in developmental paediatrics and child psychology. It captures the comprehensive developmental narrative that clinicians need for neurodevelopmental assessment — from pregnancy and birth through early milestones and school-age development.
The Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital format, used in government hospital settings and familiar to clinicians trained in RML-affiliated institutions.
A flexible, standardised evaluation form suitable for initial assessments across specialisations — useful for clinicians who see referrals from multiple sources with varying documentation needs.
For clinics and institutions with their own proprietary case history templates, Connect's Custom format allows completely freeform sections — making it adaptable to any organisational documentation standard.
The Case Workspace: More Than Just a History
The case history is just the foundation. Each case workspace in Connect includes a full clinical ecosystem:
A structured presenting complaints checklist with free-text supplementary information — capturing the family's initial concerns in a standardised format that integrates with the AI diagnostic workflow.
AI-suggested diagnoses, formal ICD-11 and DSM-5 diagnosis entry, and a digital signature workflow. The diagnostic record moves from DRAFT to REVIEW to SIGNED to LOCKED — creating a tamper-proof clinical diagnosis trail.
Therapy goals across nine domains with AI-generated suggestions and evidence-based intervention plans. Goals are linked to the assessment data — so intervention planning flows naturally from the clinical picture.
Every case event — assessment administered, report generated, session completed, feedback submitted, homework assigned — is captured in a chronological timeline. This gives the full clinical narrative at a glance.
Case Status Management
Cases move through a clear status pipeline that reflects clinical reality: INTAKE (initial registration and history taking) → ACTIVE (ongoing therapy) → ON_HOLD (temporary pause, e.g., school exams) → DISCHARGED (goals achieved, therapy ending) → CLOSED (administrative closure).
This status system allows therapists to manage their active caseload efficiently — knowing at any moment which cases are active, which are paused, and which are ready for closure.
Searchability and Record Access
Paper case files cannot be searched. Digital records in Connect can be accessed instantly — by patient name, case status, assessment type, diagnosis, or date. When a parent calls asking about their child's progress two years after discharge, the answer is seconds away, not buried in a filing cabinet.
Security and Confidentiality
All case records in Connect are stored securely on AWS S3 infrastructure. Access is role-based — therapists see only their own cases, clinic admins see the full organisation, parents see only their own children. Session-level security with JWT authentication ensures that records cannot be accessed without proper credentials.
