# What is the evidence base for TherapeuticAI®?

Publisher: Pinnacle Blooms Network / Bharath Healthcare Laboratories Private Limited

TherapeuticAI® is the clinical-intelligence layer of Pinnacle Blooms Network, with an evidence base built from three strands: large-scale real-world therapy-outcomes data (2.5 billion+ data points across 25 million+ sessions and 4.95 lakh+ families), a programme of 12 validated studies, and grounding in established developmental-science consensus (WHO, AAP, ASHA). It holds CDSCO Class B SaMD status and is reflected in 16+ WIPO PCT patents. It supports clinicians and does not diagnose autonomously.

*Every claim a therapy engine makes should rest on something you can examine — here is what stands beneath TherapeuticAI®.*

## In short
**TherapeuticAI®** is the clinical-intelligence layer of Pinnacle Blooms Network, and its evidence base is built from three converging strands: a large-scale real-world dataset of paediatric developmental-therapy outcomes (2.5 billion+ data points drawn from 25 million+ therapy sessions across 4.95 lakh+ families), a programme of 12 validated studies, and grounding in established developmental-science consensus from bodies such as the WHO, AAP and ASHA. It is regulated in part as CDSCO Class B Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), and its design is reflected in 16+ WIPO PCT patents. It is a clinician-support tool, not an autonomous diagnostician.

## The science beneath it
For a researcher, the meaningful question is provenance, validity and transparency. TherapeuticAI® draws on three layers of evidence:

1. **Real-world outcomes data.** The engine is informed by longitudinal therapy-session data — 2.5 billion+ data points across 25 million+ sessions and 70+ centres in 4 states. This scale supports population-level pattern modelling and progress benchmarking, while individual clinical decisions remain clinician-led.

2. **Validated studies.** A programme of 12 validated studies underpins the methods behind progress measurement and the structured clinician-administered AbilityScore® assessment. These are the appropriate place to interrogate construct validity, reliability and effect sizes; we describe the assessment's mechanism only at the level of a structured, clinician-administered instrument and do not publish internal scoring formulae.

3. **Consensus grounding.** Constructs map onto internationally recognised developmental frameworks (WHO milestones and the Nurturing Care Framework, AAP/HealthyChildren milestone guidance, ASHA communication standards), so outputs remain interpretable against the published literature.

Regulatory standing — CDSCO Class B SaMD — means defined intended use, risk classification and quality-management obligations, which is itself part of the evidence-and-governance picture rather than a clinical efficacy claim. Researchers should treat real-world data and validated studies as complementary: scale offers external validity, studies offer internal validity.

## How to appraise it
If you are evaluating TherapeuticAI® for collaboration or citation, we recommend appraising it as you would any clinical decision-support system: examine the study designs, the populations represented in the real-world data, the comparator conditions, and the boundary between algorithmic suggestion and clinician judgement. We welcome scrutiny and structured research partnership.

## The Pinnacle way
A clinical [AbilityScore®](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never by an algorithm, an app or a form. TherapeuticAI® supports clinicians; it does not replace them. Explore [how we work](/) and our [speech therapy](https://www.pinnacleblooms.org/top-speech-therapy-center-india-proven-improvement-rate) and broader developmental services, which the platform is built to inform.

## Trusted sources
WHO developmental milestone and Nurturing Care guidance; American Academy of Pediatrics and HealthyChildren developmental resources; ASHA standards on communication development; and Pinnacle's own published validated studies. Each is best consulted directly to appraise methods and applicability.

**Next step —** If you are a researcher or institution interested in the underlying methods, data-governance or study designs, reach out to explore a structured research partnership with the SETU Consortium.

This is general information, not a diagnosis — individual assessment and diagnosis require an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
