"I find the accuracy of the note summarization startling. The ability of the AI to pull important details out of, often meandering exploration, saves me an enormous amount of time on notes. For the first time in years, I don’t feel like I’m constantly fighting to keep current and I didn’t have to sacrifice accuracy or depth the way other solutions require."

Your clients have no way of knowing that you use Mentalyc unless you tell them.
Client consent
To make your life easier we have prepared a client consent template which is available to you directly in the Mentalyc app (under user profile) and on our website. We highly recommend informing clients about recording sessions. Download it here.
Client talking points
When discussing the use of Mentalyc with your client it is important to let them know about all the mentioned points. We have also prepared a separate page talking about security and client benefits in detail. Feel free to share it with your clients.
Mentalyc works in any session: online, in-person, or hybrid, there are no limits! Recording is free and HIPAA compliant.
Dictation
We've developed a dictation guide that allows you to capture the summary of your sessions and utilize it to create progress notes. Here you can find the instructions for SOAP and DAP formats.
You can upload your recordings directly from any device.
If you record your online sessions directly on your computer (check recording instructions for MacBook and Windows). You will find it easiest to upload them directly from Mentalyc's web app on your computer. There you drag and drop your files onto the upload fields on the home screen (See our uploading guide).
For in-person or phone call sessions you will most likely use your phone (or tablet) to do the recording. For this case, we have enabled uploads directly from mobile devices (and tablets). Reviewing and signing notes is only possible from the desktop at this time.
With Mentalyc you can now write concise notes covering all important sections quickly and easily.
You can keep your records in Mentalyc or elsewhere. Mentalyc makes it easy to export your notes and provides flexibility.
Mentalyc saves all your notes under the "records" page in the app. You can find all your past notes, transcripts, and stats there. They are anonymized, encrypted, and HIPAA compliant.
Exporting notes from Mentalyc was never easier. It takes 1 click to copy or download the notes to be ready for your EHR, store them on your device, or print them. You can keep the notes in Mentalyc and in an EHR or delete them from Mentalyc. It's up to you!
HIPAA compliance is just the beginning of our data protection efforts.
No recordings stored
When you upload your session recording onto Mentalyc, it will be immediately transcribed and the recording will be deleted forever. This whole process happens in a secure HIPAA-compliant environment. Learn more about what happens to recordings on Mentalyc.
Notes are anonymized
Upon uploading, your session is instantly transcribed with client identifiers (names, places, etc.) removed. You have the option to use full names, nicknames, or initials when adding a client, depending on your preference for the treatment of Mentalyc notes as client medical records.
Delete anytime
You can delete the anonymized notes from Mentalyc at any time. You can delete either just the transcript or anything associated with a session (transcript, notes, and session stats). This is unnecessary, however, as Mentalyc is both HIPAA-compliant and anonymous. See our guide on how to delete notes from Mentalyc.
In order to use the Mentalyc app on your phone you need to save it as a bookmark on your phone. The app cannot be found on the app or Google Store. You will need to follow the instructions for Safari and Chrome in order to set it up. If you plan on uploading from your phone this will be very handy.
