Problem
College athletes often experience mental health issues but must self-identify and seek help, leading to delayed treatment, long wait times, and many students falling through the cracks. The reactive counseling model results in missed early warning signs and contributes to costly withdrawals from university programs.
Solution
AURA Insights offers a HIPAA‑ready, proactive screening platform tailored for university athletics. Students complete a validated 5–7 minute assessment covering nine wellness dimensions, after which a patent‑pending algorithm instantly stratifies risk into four care tiers. Based on the tier, the system automatically routes each athlete to the appropriate resource—from self‑guided content to expedited counseling or crisis protocols—without requiring clinician involvement for the assessment. Real‑time dashboards give staff population‑level insights by team or cohort, enabling continuous monitoring and early intervention across the entire athletic program.
Target Audience
The primary customers are university athletic departments and campus health services that manage the mental‑wellness of Division I student‑athletes.
