Shield · AI psychosocial distress detection

Detect sensitive signals earlier.

Shield helps healthcare providers, clinics, authorized organizations and wellbeing partners better identify psychosocial distress signals, in order to enrich observation, follow-up and referral pathways.

A French, sovereign and behavioral technology designed as an observation-support tool: never a diagnosis, never an automated decision, always a reading supervised by competent professionals.

Mental health has become a human, social and economic emergency.

Needs are rising, professionals are under time pressure, and some signals remain difficult to detect before a situation deteriorates. Shield addresses this gap by making observation more readable, faster and better documented.

20% of the French population may be affected by a mental health disorder during their lifetime.
45% of employees may be experiencing psychological distress according to the 2025 indicators cited in the Shield market plan.
1 / 5 patients experiencing distress may go undetected during consultation according to the market assumptions in the Shield plan.

What makes Shield unique

Shield does not replace doctors, psychologists or support organizations. It adds a readable, fast and supervised behavioral observation layer to help professionals better detect, document and follow sensitive situations.

Detection in seconds

Shield provides quickly readable visual indicators of psychosocial distress, helping professionals identify signals that may be difficult to objectify within a limited consultation time.

In clinic and at home

The solution can support observation during consultations and extend follow-up through a patient app between appointments, within the framework defined by the deploying organization.

Decision support, never diagnosis

Shield produces observation-support indicators. Clinical responsibility, interpretation and referral decisions always remain in the hands of competent professionals.

Behavioral analysis

Unlike solutions focused only on voice, questionnaires or chatbots, Shield relies on behavioral reading designed to enrich contextual understanding.

Built-in compliance framework

Shield is designed for supervised deployment: GDPR, contractual documentation, human supervision, transparency and use governance according to the client’s framework.

Short, measurable pilot

The solution can be tested through a short pilot to measure field value, acceptability, indicator quality and integration into existing care or support pathways.

Shield helps wellbeing partners, clinics, hospitals, healthcare organizations and authorized structures enrich their observation without turning an indicator into a diagnosis or automating any support decision.
