Screening

The Stressometer

The Stressometer is a 55-question online screening instrument developed by Dr Vohra's Innovation Labs that maps stress and emotional health across five dimensions of life (Human Nature, Life Circumstances, Clinical Symptoms, Domestic Life, Professional Life) and returns a colour-coded report with a recommended level of care in 10 to 15 minutes. It was developed with the University of Houston, validated against the DASS, PSS, SOS scales with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.935, and in October 2025 received India's first patent for an AI-powered digital mental health screening tool. It costs Rs 499 in India and USD 8.99 elsewhere. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

What the report tells you

Each of the five dimensions is rated Green, Yellow, Orange or Red, with an overall profile. The colour sets the recommended next step.

BandMeaningRecommended next step
GreenLow stressPreventive tips and self-care strategies.
YellowMild stressGuided self-help with an optional counsellor check-in.
OrangeModerate stressMatched with a psychologist for structured therapy.
RedHigh stressPsychiatric evaluation and a comprehensive treatment plan.

Who it is for

It can be taken from anywhere with an internet connection and is deployed in enterprises in India and the USA.

  • Adults who want a structured starting point before deciding whether to see a clinician
  • Students (a student version covers academic and campus life)
  • Employers and institutions screening a whole workforce or cohort, with aggregate reporting
  • Clinicians, as a baseline to track change

What it is not

The Stressometer screens; it does not diagnose depression, anxiety or any other condition, and a Green result does not rule out illness. A Red result means a psychiatric evaluation is recommended; it does not mean a diagnosis has been made. The academic "Stressometer (SOM)" scale found in older research literature is a different instrument.

Validation and patent

The instrument was refined over 14 years of psychiatric practice, tested with the University of Houston, published in peer-reviewed journals including the Indian Journal of Psychiatry, and validated against the DASS, PSS and SOS scales (Cronbach's alpha 0.935). The Indian patent was granted in October 2025. The validation and patent pages give the details.
