Patient Notifications

alerts, text messages, push notifications, surveys

Updated yesterday

Patients receive notifications from Osmind that can come in the form of: mobile push notifications, text messages, or emails, depending on the context of the prompt.

See below for a comprehensive table of all patient notifications.


By default, patients are texted when:

  • The patient is invited to the clinic

    • Patients receive a text prompting them to download the Osmind mobile app when they're invited to a clinic.

    • If the patient doesn’t download and activate the app, they will receive reminder texts each day for three days, or until they download the app.

  • Non-daily mood surveys are sent to the patient by a practice

    • Patients are sent a text when they are sent a survey. If it’s a scheduled survey (like a recurring PHQ-9), the patient will receive a text at 4 PM PST the day the scheduled survey is sent.

    • If a patient doesn’t complete the survey, they receive a reminder once a day for three days. The reminders stop either when the patient completes the survey or after three days have passed.

  • Mood score survey (sent daily)

    • If the patient is assigned daily mood surveys, they will receive a text at 2 PM PST prompting them to complete the mood survey.

When your clinic has set up surveys for patients to complete, they are available in the Home page of the patient Osmind App, and patients can configure notifications to remind them of this.

Notification preferences are found within the Settings tab of the bottom right corner of the app or web portal.
