Refer a patientWhy this evaluation matters
Transplant selection committees need to understand a candidate's psychosocial readiness before listing — adherence capacity, support system, substance-use history and abstinence, psychological stability, and cognitive ability to manage a lifelong post-transplant regimen. AlviPsych handles that step end-to-end using SIPAT-Lite, a standardized psychosocial framework every transplant coordinator, surgeon, and committee reviewer can read the same way.
Transplant-specific screens
- SIPAT-Lite. Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplant — the core instrument transplant committees expect.
- PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Validated depression and anxiety screening — universal to every AlviPsych clearance.
- AUDIT-C and DAST-10. Validated alcohol and drug-use screening — universal to every AlviPsych clearance. Critical for liver, kidney, and lung listings.
- Adherence capacity. Ability to manage immunosuppressant regimens, lab monitoring, and life-long follow-up with the transplant center.
- Psychosocial support system. Caregiver presence and reliability, housing stability, and financial runway for post-transplant recovery.
- Cognitive & decisional capacity. Understanding of transplant risks, benefits, and lifelong commitment required.
