Overview
DSM-5-Informed Symptom Screening App is a Persian-language Android assessment application designed to transform a structured symptom-screening questionnaire into a clear, guided mobile workflow.
The application is intended to lead the user through the screening process step by step, capture responses consistently, process them through an automated scoring or profile-calculation workflow, and present the resulting output in a readable mobile format.
The project belongs to a broader collection of Persian assessment applications focused on converting questionnaire-based models into structured digital products with consistent interaction, automated calculation, and clear result presentation.
The Product Idea
Symptom-screening workflows are often delivered as paper forms, static documents, spreadsheets, or generic web pages.
That format can create several practical problems:
- users may find longer questionnaires difficult to navigate;
- progress through the screening process may be unclear;
- manual scoring can introduce avoidable errors;
- raw results may be difficult to interpret without a clear presentation layer;
- and Persian-speaking users may need to work through non-localized material.
The application addresses those limitations by turning the screening process into a complete mobile workflow:

Guided Persian Mobile Experience

Response Capture

Automated Scoring / Profile Calculation

Readable Mobile Presentation
The objective is to make the interaction more consistent, accessible, and easier to follow from beginning to end.
Core Experience
Persian-Language Interface
The application is designed around a Persian user interface.
The complete screening journey is intended to remain understandable inside the app, including:
- question presentation;
- response selection;
- progress through the questionnaire;
- automated score or profile calculation;
- and final result presentation.
This creates a localized mobile experience rather than requiring the user to complete the workflow through an English-language interface.
Guided Questionnaire Workflow
The assessment is presented as a step-by-step mobile interaction rather than a large static form.
This helps the user focus on one question at a time while maintaining a clear progression through the full screening workflow.
Automated Scoring
Questionnaire responses are processed through a scoring engine that calculates the relevant result or profile automatically.
This removes manual calculation from the user experience and makes the scoring workflow more consistent and repeatable.
Structured Result Presentation
The final output is intended to be easier to review than a raw answer sheet or manually calculated score.
The application presents the calculated result in a mobile-friendly format, separating the user experience from the complexity of the underlying scoring workflow.
Standalone Android Application
The project is designed as an independent Android application rather than as a secondary feature inside a larger platform.
That allows the questionnaire flow, scoring behavior, result presentation, and overall mobile experience to be tailored specifically to this symptom-screening use case.
Why This Project Matters
The engineering challenge is not simply displaying questions on a screen.
The more important task is converting a structured screening model into a reliable software workflow.

Mobile Presentation
Each stage has to remain internally consistent.
That makes the project relevant to several technical areas at once:
- Android application development;
- assessment-system design;
- scoring-engine implementation;
- structured data capture;
- Persian localization;
- mobile UX;
- symptom-screening workflows;
- and decision-support systems.
Product & Engineering Perspective
A polished screening application has responsibilities far beyond simply rendering questionnaire items.
The software must support:
- consistent question presentation;
- reliable response capture;
- clear progress through the assessment;
- completion validation;
- automated scoring or profile calculation;
- structured result generation;
- and readable mobile presentation.
The quality of the product therefore depends on both calculation logic and interaction design.
Assessment Workflow
A typical user journey is structured around a predictable sequence:
Start Screening
↓
Read Question
↓
Select Response
↓
Continue
↓
Complete Questionnaire
↓
Calculate Result
↓
View Structured Output
This keeps the interaction focused while allowing the application to handle scoring and result generation behind the scenes.

User Experience Goals
The application is designed around several practical UX goals:
- clear Persian-language interaction;
- straightforward questionnaire navigation;
- visible progress;
- reliable response capture;
- automated calculation;
- and a result screen that prioritizes readability over raw scoring data.
The aim is to make the screening experience feel like a purpose-built mobile product rather than a digitized paper questionnaire.
Reusable Assessment Architecture
This project also represents a reusable software pattern for questionnaire-driven mobile assessments.

Reusable Mobile Assessment Architecture
The same architectural pattern can support multiple assessment applications while keeping each model's questions, scoring logic, and result structure separate.
That separation is important because different assessment systems may require different:
- question sets;
- response formats;
- scoring procedures;
- result structures;
- interpretation layers;
- and presentation layouts.
Management & Decision-Support Perspective
The project belongs to the Management & Decision Support area because its purpose goes beyond simply collecting questionnaire responses.
The application is designed to transform structured answers into a calculated screening result that can be reviewed in an organized digital format and potentially support reflection, education, wellbeing discussions, or other non-diagnostic decision-support scenarios.
The scoring engine and result model are therefore central components of the product.
Public-Use Accuracy, Clinical Boundary & Rights Note
The currently recovered project record confirms the intended scope as:
- a Persian-language Android user interface;
- a questionnaire-driven assessment flow;
- automated scoring or profile calculation;
- mobile-oriented result presentation;
- and a standalone portfolio item within the wider assessment-app collection.
The exact historical status of this specific app is still being recovered, so it should not be described publicly as a confirmed completed historical application until that mapping is verified.
The term DSM-5-Informed should be used carefully. The portfolio entry should describe the project as a symptom-screening workflow informed by a structured reference framework, not as an official DSM diagnostic implementation unless that relationship is independently documented.
For any public release, questionnaire content, scoring rules, diagnostic criteria, proprietary terminology, licensing conditions, trademarks, and distribution rights should be reviewed before publication.
The application should not be presented as a medical diagnostic device, as an automated diagnostic system, or as a substitute for professional clinical evaluation.
