News Summary

Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres (CATC) has successfully adopted HiBoop’s digital assessment platform across its inpatient facilities, marking a significant milestone in Canadian mental health technology. Founded in 2024 by Jason Morehouse, HiBoop streamlines the assessment process with automated scoring and a library of over 40 validated scales, drastically reducing documentation time and improving outcome tracking. The platform’s implementation led to near-universal completion rates of assessments, providing comprehensive data on client recovery, including quality of life metrics. Clients have embraced the platform as a therapeutic tool, working through assessments with counselors instead of independently. This shift from traditional relapse-rate metrics to comprehensive outcome measurement offers a more holistic view of recovery, allowing CATC to present data that demonstrates improvements across multiple dimensions of recovery. The partnership between CATC and HiBoop is seen as a model for digital transformation in mental healthcare, challenging assumptions about healthcare technology adoption timelines.
