Origin

Why it exists.

“After 20+ years across inpatient, outpatient, crisis, detox/rehab, consultation-liaison, and telepsychiatry, one thing is obvious: psychiatric clinicians make life-altering decisions under real-time pressure with no structured, real-time support. Generic AI doesn’t solve this. A note generator doesn’t solve this. I built OnDemandPsych to be the structured psychiatric reasoning, safety, and documentation layer those decisions deserve — and to keep the clinician fully in control.”
— Tanveer A. Padder, MD — Chief Medical Officer, PsychPlus · Founder, OnDemandPsych
Clinical depth

Lived across the psychiatric continuum.

Pediatric, adult, geriatric. OnDemandPsych is informed by a single career that crossed every major psychiatric care environment and every age group.

Emergency psychiatry & crisis
Rapid triage, agitation, intoxication vs. withdrawal vs. primary illness, defensible documentation under time pressure.
Inpatient psychiatry
High-acuity stabilization, polypharmacy, suicide and violence risk, daily progress and discharge documentation.
Outpatient & telepsychiatry
Longitudinal management, treatment-resistant cases, careful sequencing, adherence, between-visit risk.
Addiction, detox, rehab & residential
Dual diagnosis, withdrawal protocols, polypharmacy in complex panels, refusal-of-care documentation.
Consultation-liaison psychiatry
Delirium versus primary psychiatric illness, psychotropics in medically fragile patients, capacity, organ-dysfunction risk.
Pediatric · adult · geriatric
Developmentally and age-appropriate dosing, monitoring, and risk thresholds across the lifespan.
