Between Session Notes.
An app idea for mental health therapists.
A private voice memo tool for solo therapists to capture clinical thoughts between sessions, organized by client and date.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Private practice therapist
- The problem
- Therapists think of things between sessions and jot them on a phone notepad or legal pad, then lose track of which client it was about. They want a fast, private way to capture a thought and have it land in the right client's file.
- The gap
- Existing tools are built around recording the session itself and generating a progress note. None of the results show a tool for the between-session moment: a therapist alone, thinking about a client, wanting a quick private voice capture filed by client and date without a full session recording or note template.
- Already out there
- Upheal mentalyc.com
Records sessions and generates progress notes. Clinicians report mis-attributed voices and added dialogue, so it is aimed at session capture, not between-session thoughts.
- VoiceToNotes.ai voicetonotes.ai
Converts therapist speech into formatted clinical notes. It is a note generator, not a private capture-and-file tool for stray thoughts.
- TheraPro AI therapro.ai
