Pillar 1: Identify

Identify social needs before they escalate.

Our platform embeds validated Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) screening directly into the clinical encounter. Clinicians can administer quick, evidence-based questionnaires that surface hidden needs across housing, food security, transportation, employment, social isolation, and mental health.

Social ConnectionSupportive family and friend network
Pillar 2: Connect

Connect patients to the right support.

Once needs are identified, the patient is referred to a link worker or connector — a trained professional who provides personalized guidance, builds trust, and helps the patient navigate the social prescribing pathway toward the right community resources.

Pillar 3: Participate
