Sound like really amazing software. Best of luck!

One area where such tool could be extremely helpful is using supplements(and their lower side effects profile) where appropriate in order to minimize drug use.

Which supplements have proven safe and effective for treating mental health conditions in large scale randomized controlled trials?
There's a problem here: it doesnt make financial sense to do those studies on a supplement, without strong parents.

That doesn't mean they aren't helpful, and some psychiatrists already use them.

And in particular, when were talking about vitamins, minerals that the body naturally gets , the risk profile is quite good.

That's a separate problem. Individual psychiatrists can experiment with unproven treatments, within reasonable bounds. But it wouldn't be appropriate for an EHR vendor like Osmind to make treatment recommendations without a solid foundation in evidence-based medicine.
