Diagnosing ADHD, made possible for GPs

With Sunbeam, you can run a full ADHD workup inside a standard appointment slot. No more referring your patient to months-long waitlists.

How it works

Three steps. The last one is yours.

  1. 01

    Your patient completes adaptive intake before the visit.

    History, ASRS, comorbidity screening.

  2. 02

    You open a briefing at the start of the appointment.

    Scored scales, flagged differentials, relevant history.

  3. 03

    You make the call.

    Sunbeam drafts the note and any letters from your interview.

Sunbeam does not diagnose and does not make clinical decisions. Every briefing, note and letter is a draft you review, edit and sign.

The platform, step by step

Why GPs use it

Most family doctors do not diagnose ADHD. They refer, and the patient waits for months. Even more than this, many of those patients never make the appointment, and the referral is where their care ended.

A complete assessment needs five things: structured developmental history, scored scales, collateral report, impairment across settings, and a differential. Sunbeam delivers four of them as a clinician-ready report. The fifth, the clinical interview, is yours, and it fits in the appointment you already have.

Now GPs can confidently assess ADHD within a session. The patient stops waiting, and you keep them: titration visits, follow-ups, and the accommodation letters Sunbeam generates for work, school or testing, which you bill as the uninsured service it already is.

No time
Adaptive intake, symptom scales and collateral are collected before the visit, so the appointment starts with the evidence already gathered.
Not trained on adult ADHD
Every piece of evidence is mapped to the DSM-5 criterion it supports, so a complete workup is laid out in front of you rather than recalled.
Comorbidities muddy the picture
Anxiety, mood and substance use are screened during intake, and anything that scores positive is flagged in the briefing.
Complex cases feel risky
Presentations that fall outside a straightforward workup are flagged, so you refer the few and confidently keep the majority.
Fear of signing their name
A documented, criterion-by-criterion evidence trail sits behind your diagnosis, in the patient's own words.

Already assessing ADHD?

Psychiatrists, paediatricians and ADHD clinics use Sunbeam for the same reason, pointed the other way. The four things you gather before you can decide are already collected when the patient arrives, so the appointment goes to the interview and the judgement rather than to history-taking, scoring, and the write-up afterwards. That is more assessments from the hours already worked, without a new hire and without a longer day.

Privacy

Sunbeam is built for Canadian practice. PHIPA in Ontario, PIPEDA federally, and data held in Canada. Everything runs on Amazon Web Services under a signed data processing addendum, so there is one vendor to review and one set of agreements.

PHIPA (Ontario)
Under Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act, the clinician remains the health information custodian. Sunbeam acts as a service provider, handling information only on the custodian's instructions and only for the purpose it was collected.
PIPEDA and provincial law
Outside Ontario, the same processing falls under PIPEDA or the equivalent provincial health privacy statute. We will sign the written agreement your province or college requires.
Data residency
Canadian practices are provisioned in AWS Canada (Central), so data stays in Canada. Residency is set per customer, and we tell you in writing which region yours runs in.
Personal health information
We do not retain personal health information in the Sunbeam product environment. Your patient's record stays yours.
Model inference
Zero data retention. Inference runs inside the AWS boundary on Amazon Bedrock, which does not store your prompts or completions, does not share them with model providers, and does not use them to train foundation models.
Clinical Scribe audio
Transcribed on Amazon Transcribe within the same boundary.
Data processing addendum
We have signed the AWS Data Processing Addendum, which sets the processing, security, and subprocessor terms for the AWS services we use.
HIPAA
Not relevant to Canadian practice, and held for US expansion. For US-regulated processing AWS performs as our subprocessor, we maintain a signed Business Associate Agreement covering eligible services.
