Mission
Make the hidden burden of waiting for mental healthcare measurable, so organizations can better understand where access barriers are most severe.
About
The MHABI story
MHABI bridges research, public health, and technology to make mental healthcare access burden easier to define, study, and communicate.
Mission and direction
Making access burden visible, comparable, and actionable
MHABI is built around a simple idea: the burden of waiting for mental healthcare should be easier to see, study, and communicate across organizations.
Vision
Support a mental healthcare system where access planning is guided by structured, transparent burden data rather than fragmented signals.
Purpose
Provide a research-oriented framework that translates delay, acuity, function, utilization, and disease burden into clearer population-level insight.
Why MHABI matters
Access barriers can affect safety, functioning, emergency utilization, and overall disease burden. MHABI brings those signals together so they can be discussed with more clarity.
Future direction
Future versions may include validated scoring workflows, organizational dashboards, and decision-support capabilities designed for de-identified population-level planning.
