Multi-Health Systems

What Multi-Health Systems does

Multi-Health Systems (MHS) is a Toronto-based developer of scientifically validated psychological and behavioral assessments, founded in 1983 and operating as a privately held company with 101-250 employees. The company serves four primary verticals: clinical and healthcare (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral health), gifted and talented education, public safety and corrections (offender risk and case management), and corporate talent and HR (emotional intelligence, leadership development). MHS distributes a portfolio of more than 100 proprietary instruments, including flagship products such as the EQ-i 2.0 emotional intelligence suite, Conners 4 and Conners CPT 3 ADHD scales, ASRS and ASRS Adult autism assessments, Naglieri General Ability Tests, and forensic risk instruments (LS/CMI, YLS/CMI 2.0, PCL-R, STATIC-99R). These instruments are grounded in decades of psychometric research and backed by large, demographically representative normative samples.

MHS delivers its technology through two primary cloud platforms: GEARS (GIFR Electronic Assessment and Reporting System) for forensic, justice, and corrections case management, and MAC+ (MHS Online Assessment Center+) for clinical and talent assessment administration, scoring, and reporting. Both platforms are SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and CJIS compliant. The company also operates the Global Institute of Forensic Research (GIFR), the Talent Assessment Portal (TAP), and MHS Group Insights (a Power Apps-based analytics dashboard), and supports integration through a Universal REST API and SSO partnerships with ClassLink and Clever.

MHS generates revenue through subscription-based platform access, unit-priced assessment uses on a pay-as-you-go basis, quote-based enterprise and multi-year licensing, and professional services tied to certification programs. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a global network of more than 100 authorized training partners operating in over 40 countries, complemented by CE/PD-credit-bearing certification programs approved by SHRM, ATD, APA, and ICF. Recent strategic activity includes the 2023 acquisition of Northern Ireland-based Core Systems (corrections technology), ongoing product launches in 2025-2026 (ASRS Adult, remote Conners CPT 3, Spanish-language Naglieri reports), and the 2026 launch of Credly digital badges for verified practitioner credentials. The company does not disclose revenue and has no parent company or public listing.
