Mental health
Assessment, therapy and recovery, measured over time with the person, not just about them.

The selfdriven healthcare ecosystem
Care for the people who care.
Protocols, services and tools for the healthcare ecosystem. For mental, developmental and physical health professionals.

Why now
Health systems for a better human experience in the era of Generally Available High Intelligence.
Traditional healthcare facilities are under pressure. With the arrival of GAHI, we have the opportunity to re-imagine health functions and the healthcare ecosystem.
AI assists. Clinicians decide. People consent.
Read the opportunity overviewWho it's for
Three disciplines. One ecosystem.
Most people's care crosses more than one discipline. The tools should too.
Developmental health
Early childhood and lifelong development, with progress that follows the person between services.
- Paediatricians
- Speech pathologists
- Occupational therapists
- Early intervention
Physical health
Primary, acute and rehabilitative care, from the first appointment through to discharge and beyond.
- GPs
- Nurses
- Physiotherapists
- Exercise physiologists
How it fits together
Trust is engineered.
We start with identity and governance. Then we add intelligence and robotics inside those boundaries. We measure outcomes, publish evidence and scale what works.
-
01 · Trust
Identity and governance
SSI and verifiable credentials become the health system's shared truth layer.
- Patient identity and consent
- Clinician qualifications and scopes of practice
- Facility accreditation and compliance evidence
- Data provenance and audit-ready logs
-
02 · Intelligence
Agentic systems
AI becomes the coordination layer, not the authority.
- Intake, triage and routing
- Clinical summarisation
- Risk signals and prevention nudges
- Anomaly detection and safety monitoring
-
03 · Robotics
Automation in the physical world
Robotics becomes health operations infrastructure.
- Sterile, repeatable tasks
- Logistics and pharmacy movement
- Sample handling and lab automation
- Bedside assistance and monitoring
-
04 · Coordination
Ecosystem outcomes
Care moves across institutions with less friction.
- Portable permissions
- Multi-party care teams
- Shared evidence and measured outcomes
- Continuous quality improvement loops
What we build
Protocols, services and tools.
Three layers that work on their own and work better together.
Protocols
Shared rules for trust.
How practitioners, patients and systems prove who they are and what was agreed.
Verifiable practitioner credentials
Registration and scope of practice as credentials anyone can check, anchored with KERI and ACDC.
Patient-held consent
Consent the person carries with them. They grant it, see it and withdraw it.
Verifiable observations
Proof of what was observed, by whom and when, held in immutable registers with privacy preserved.
Delegated AI agents
Agents work under a clinician's delegated, time-limited authority. Every action is signed.
Services
Help putting it to work.
People and processes that help practices adopt the protocols without disrupting care.
Practitioner-in-the-loop services
Practitioners who help people engage with GenAI-driven care plans, found by AI agents over MCP.
Clinical documentation
Scribe support that drafts notes for the clinician to review and sign.
Privacy and compliance
Australian Privacy Principles, AHPRA obligations and ISO 27001-aligned controls.
Interoperability
Connect existing practice systems through FHIR AU and open APIs.
Tools
Instruments for the work itself.
Everyday tools for sessions, assessments and the routines people follow between visits.
Session notes
Capture, review and sign notes in one place, with a clear record of who changed what.
Outcome measures
K10, DASS-21 and PHQ-9 tracked over time, shared with the person's consent.
Developmental milestones
Progress across speech, motor and social domains, visible to the whole care team.
Run sheets
Step-by-step routines practitioners share with the people they support. See examples on selfdriven.health.
Opportunity & resources
Re-imagining the healthcare ecosystem.
Working papers, designs and resources from selfdriven.foundation and beHub, updated as conversations progress.
Opportunity
Designs and proposals.
From a cooperative of health organisations to a hospital designed for intelligence from the ground up.
- Opportunity overviewBetter health experiences and verifiable observations.
- An action-focused cooperativeHospitals, family offices and partners working together for better health outcomes.
- Intelligence-native hospitalA from-the-ground-up design where AI, robotics and sensing are native infrastructure.
- Capability maturity ladder (Australia)Manual to autonomous in seven levels, governed under NSQHS, TGA and the Privacy Act.

- AI situational awareness frameworkFor organisations working out where they stand with AI.
Resources
Background and research.
