Orchard Neuro

About Orchard Neuro

Depression treatment deserves a better record.

Depression treatment decisions often rest on what someone can remember at an appointment. Everything that happens between visits, like the days sleep broke, the week effort returned, or the side effect that started five days after a dose change, is remembered imperfectly or not at all. Orchard Neuro exists to help you keep that record and bring it to your prescriber.

What we believe

Symptoms are plural.

"Depression, moderate" is a label, not a description. The parts move independently, and treatment should be aimed at the parts.

Evidence beats summary.

Every insight in a Profile traces to something the patient actually said, or to published pharmacology. If we can’t show the source, we don’t make the claim.

You and your prescriber decide.

Orchard never diagnoses, never prescribes, and never tells you what to do about your treatment. Your treatment decisions stay with you and your prescriber.

Patients are our main audience.

A report written only for specialists leaves the patient out of their own care. Ours is written for you first, and holds up for your prescriber.

Where we come from

Orchard Neuro’s founders trained and did research at Stanford, studying what information matters most to people with depression and the clinicians who treat them. That research continues separately from the app, as a longitudinal study of lived experience, brain signals and pharmacology. The Orchard app is our first product, built for adults in treatment for depression and the prescribers they work with.

Research program

A longitudinal study of depression course, run with recorded sessions and structured instruments.

The app

The Orchard app: daily spoken prompts, a Profile that tracks them, and a plain-language medication reference.
