Ultimately the Proem solution helps organizations get their neuropsychiatric drugs, therapies and devices to market faster and more safely.

Rely on the Most Trusted Scales in Research

Gold-Standard Scales Help Accurately Identify Candidates
Proem is the exclusive digital licensee worldwide of clinically validated scales written by world-renowned psychiatrists to screen for the most common DSM-5 mental health disorders. The Proem licensed solution scales, including the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.), SDS, S-STS, YBOCS I&II, CYBOCS I&II, BDDQ, and others, are used to accurately identify underlying conditions in study candidates that can materially impact study time and risk.

Thousands of Citations Provide Safety in Numbers
These scales have been cited in more than 175,000 articles and used in worldwide studies reviewed by the FDA, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), World Health Organization (WHO), European Pharmaceutical Associations, and Federation of Asian Pharmaceutical Associations.

Localize Assessments in Any Language to Ensure Efficacy
These tools have been used in clinical studies in more than 100 countries, so researchers can administer screeners and assessments in the native language where the study is occurring. Proem uses accurate and reliable translation services to preserve the integrity of the tools in any language.

Case Studies

Study: Partners in Caring for Anxious Youth, funded by Patient Center Outcomes Research Institute.
The study is a clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of evidence-based treatments for child and adolescent anxiety. The study compares the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alone to CBT plus medication treatment to see which is more effective at achieving anxiety symptom remission and functional improvement at 6 and 12 months. Proem assessments are being used to eliminate bias when selecting patients for the study.
Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago

Study: The Australian Child Maltreatment Study.
This study uses data gathered from Proem assessments to study 8,500 Australians who experienced child abuse and neglect in their childhood and adolescence to examine associations with a wide range of physical and mental health outcomes. The study is one of the most comprehensive studies on child maltreatment ever conducted and is intended to inform policy and practice reforms to reduce child abuse and neglect in Australia.
Queensland University of Technology

Study: The Childhood to Adolescence Transition Study.
This study uses the Proem child assessment to gather data for a longitudinal study of children as they move into high school and through adolescence to understand the many influences on the health and emotional adjustment of children as they approach their teens. This is the first study in Melbourne to look at a population sample of children with this focus.
