Polaris-CV: Product Overview

Introduction

Polaris-CV is a computer-supported system that helps healthcare providers detect, monitor, and treat depression and anxiety in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Polaris-CV was developed on the premise that mortality rates and quality of life among CVD patients can be improved through the integration of behavioral and medical treatments in the management of CVD. It combines state-of-the-art research and technology to help healthcare organizations improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of services. The system is grounded in extensive National Institute of Health (NIH) research on treatment effectiveness, outcomes management, and in medical studies of depression, anxiety, and other CVD risk factors.
