# Veridian Health

<Note>
  **Early-stage documentation.** Workflows and feature details on this page
  reflect current product direction and may change as we iterate toward MVP.
</Note>

Veridian Health is a **corrections-focused posture and musculoskeletal (MSK)
triage platform**. It gives jails a structured way to assess inmates with
MSK complaints and receive **PT-driven recommendations** — without requiring
on-site physical therapists or off-site transport for every case.

The platform has two primary surfaces:

| Surface                | Users                                          | Purpose                                          |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Inmate kiosk**       | Inmates (on facility devices)                  | Guided photo capture + tailored questionnaire    |
| **Provider dashboard** | Licensed PTs (Veridian network, jail-approved) | Case review, clinical oversight, recommendations |

Between them, Veridian Health handles intake, AI-assisted analysis against
PT clinical frameworks, and structured output that facility medical staff can
act on.

## The problem we solve

Musculoskeletal complaints — back pain, joint injuries, post-surgical recovery,
mobility limitations — are among the most common health issues in jails. Yet
most facilities lack dedicated PT coverage:

* **No on-site specialist.** Nursing triages MSK complaints without PT input.
* **Transport barriers.** Off-site PT requires escorts, scheduling, and cost jails cannot scale.
* **Workflow friction.** Ad-hoc assessments produce inconsistent documentation.
* **Delayed care.** Inmates wait weeks or months; conditions worsen in custody.

Veridian Health provides a repeatable triage workflow inside the facility.

## MVP scope

The first release delivers **assessment and recommendations**, not live
video consults:

1. **Four guided photos** — front, back, left, right — captured at the inmate kiosk
2. **Tailored questionnaire** — dynamic questions based on complaint, history, and mobility
3. **AI-assisted analysis** — photos and responses evaluated against PT-driven clinical logic
4. **Structured recommendations** — assessment summary, exercise guidance, precautions, red-flag alerts, follow-up plan

Facility medical staff review output and retain final clinical authority.

## Who uses Veridian Health

**Jails** — any correctional facility that purchases the platform. The jail
administers user access, approves providers, and controls which inmates are
referred to the kiosk.

**Licensed PTs** — enrolled in Veridian's provider network and **approved by
each jail** before participating in that facility's workflow.

**Inmates** — complete the kiosk intake on facility-controlled devices under
custody supervision. No personal accounts or devices.
