How Sensus works
About 20 minutes every four weeks, on any phone or computer. Here is everything that happens, from the first visit to the report you take to your clinician.
What this adds up to
People stop treatment for reasons that can be measured. Sensus measures them every four weeks, in the person’s own words and a family member’s, and puts them in front of the clinician, so the conversation about a medicine can happen before the decision to stop it.
On the home page, choose Take Assessments and pick how you are joining, usually with the code your clinician’s practice gave you. Enter your name, email and date of birth. There is no password to create.
Joining
When symptoms first began, any hospital stays, other health conditions, and the medicines you take now. You answer these only at the start. They become the starting point your clinician works from.
Your starting point
A family member or partner can answer a short set of questions about how everyday life is going, once every twelve weeks. They never see your answers, and you can remove them at any time.
Optional
Short questionnaires about what you have been noticing, how you feel, how the medicine is treating you, your sleep and any pain, and whether you have been able to take your medicine. Then a quick question: did anything important happen in your life since last time? About 20 minutes. You can pause and come back.
~20 minutes
If any answer suggests you may be at risk, the check-in pauses and shows you how to reach help straight away: call or text 988, or call 911 in an emergency. You can carry on or stop, and your answers are kept either way.
Shown whenever it is needed
The moment you finish, a plain-language report shows each part of the picture and how it has moved since you began. Save it, print it, or email it to yourself, and take it to your next appointment.
Illustration
Every third check-in adds about 15 minutes: everyday life, motivation and enjoyment, how you see your illness and treatment, and any alcohol or drug use. Your family member answers their part at the same time.
~15 minutes more
Choose Returning visitor, enter your email, and we will send a six-digit code. You land on your record and can watch how things change over time. When a medicine changes, Sensus starts a fresh comparison, so the new one is judged fairly.

People are more likely to stay with a medicine when they can see it helping and when their doctor hears what it is costing them.2 Sensus is built around both.
At each check-in you can note what happened since last time: starting work or study, time with family or friends, a move, a hospital stay or emergency visit, missed doses, or stopping a medicine. Your report shows these events beside your scores.
At the start you name one to three things that matter to you, such as keep my job, sleep through the night or see my children more, and rate them at each check-in. Progress is measured in your terms, not only in scores.
Weight, restlessness, sleepiness, pain: the side-effects people most often stop over are written down as they happen and put in front of your prescriber, so they can be dealt with before they become the reason you quit.
An illustration of the idea, not real data: the person can see, in their own record, how life and symptoms moved together while the medicine was taken, and what happened in the month doses were missed.
Your clinician sees the same record, laid out for the visit: what changed since last time, whether the medicine is being taken, what it may be costing you, and any ratings or test results they have added. What to do next is always decided between the two of you. How Sensus organizes the picture
You’re not alone. If you’re ever in crisis or thinking of harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. Sensus is informational and is not a diagnosis. Never stop or change a medicine without talking to the person who prescribed it.
