Addiction notes that keep the substance history straight
In addiction work the substance history is the history: what, how much, how often, since when, and what happened the last time they stopped. Cognivolt gives it its own heading and keeps it across visits, alongside the mental state examination and risk assessment.
Who it is for: Addiction psychiatrists and clinicians working in substance use services.
Substance use, its own heading
Tobacco, alcohol and other substances recorded as stated, not folded into a line of the social history.
AUDIT and DAST-10
Pick a scale and its items are filled in from the session, each with the line it came from, for you to check.
MSE and risk
A structured mental state examination and a risk level, with suicidality and red flags shown on their own.
A record that remembers the last attempt
Every visit sits in one chart, so a follow-up note can say what changed since the previous one: use, abstinence, medication, mood. It is compared with what was actually recorded last time, not rebuilt from memory.
Medication interactions checked
What you prescribe is checked against the patient’s other medicines and allergies using fixed, versioned reference tables, not a language model’s opinion.

Frequently asked questions
Does Cognivolt record substance use separately from the social history?
Yes. For mental-health clinicians the History note has a substance use history heading of its own, covering tobacco, alcohol and other substances as stated in the session.
Can it score AUDIT or DAST-10?
Yes. Choose the scale and Cognivolt fills in each item from what was discussed, shows the line each answer came from, and leaves unanswered anything the session did not cover. You check it before it is saved.
Is the risk assessment generated automatically?
A risk level is generated with the note, with suicidality and red flags called out on their own. It flags a session for a closer look and does not replace your own risk formulation.
