Give clinicians back the time that documentation takes away.
Mental health practitioners didn't get into this field to spend their evenings charting. We're building tools that handle the documentation burden so you can focus on what matters—your patients.

Our Values
Privacy First
Patient data security is non-negotiable. HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, AES-256 encryption, and a strict policy that your data never trains AI models.
Clinician-Centered
Every feature is designed around real clinical workflows. We build for practitioners, not IT departments.
Evidence-Based
AI suggestions are grounded in official medical documentation—DSM-5, ICD-10, and CPT sources. No guesswork.
Practical Innovation
We apply AI where it genuinely saves time and reduces errors—not for its own sake. Every feature must earn its place.
