Continuous PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments confirm initial Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) findings that contribute to improved health outcomes for Ontrak Health members

Ontrak Health (NASDAQ: OTRK), a leading AI-powered and telehealth-enabled healthcare company, is pleased to announce the results of its 9-month post baseline follow-up behavioral health study that reinforces its positive initial findings. Leveraging industry-recognized PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments, Ontrak Health's Wholehealth+ program has contributed to 53-60% reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms among assessed members.

Key highlights of the study include:

Anxiety Symptoms Improvement: With extended program engagement, 60% of members demonstrated a clinically significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, a marked increase compared to the 30% reported at the six-month mark.

Depressive Symptoms Improvement: An impressive 53% of assessed members experienced a clinically significant reduction in depressive symptoms, consistent with the six-month findings.

Dr. Judith Feld, Chief Medical Officer at Ontrak Health, commented, "We believe the study results solidify the role of our program in effectively managing anxiety-related concerns and the robustness of our approach in addressing depression and confirm our commitment to making lasting improvements in mental health care. Our Wholehealth+ program, fortified by the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments, empowers our members to achieve sustained well-being. The increasing positive symptom reduction we're witnessing over the course of over 9 months underscores the value of personalized treatment plans and ongoing support."

The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments remain integral to Ontrak Health's approach, enabling a data-driven understanding of members' progress. With thousands of assessments conducted, the company continues to provide comprehensive care coaching that supports members in their journey to better mental health.
