Clinical Tools, Inc. (CTI) is a small, physician-run business dedicated to harnessing the potential of the Internet to create scalable, usable, and broadly available tools to improve the ability of physicians and other health care providers to care for patients. We achieve this goal by providing education and training to students and professionals and creating Web-based support tools for clinicians, researchers, and consumers. Information technology can and should serve as a stable framework that supports researchers and clinicians in their roles. We provide dissemination and management tools that empower clinicians and consumers to understand and control the vast amount of information related to making individual health choices. We serve our clients creatively, effectively, and with the highest quality of service.
The Clinical Tools team consists of 20 employees with expertise in medicine, psychology, public health, basic sciences, and information technology. Our research focus has led to successful commercial products and over $18 million in Federal funding over the past 13 years.
One of Clinical Tools' first projects was ADHD: A Guide for Families. Over 1.5 million copies were printed between 1998 - 2001. The Guide for Families was followed by My Success Guide for ADHD (Elementary), ADHD Success Guide for Teens (Secondary School), ADHD Living Guide (Parents), and a related website, supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The products are currently out of print but are available for reference.
