Thank you for doing this series! I check back every couple days to see if you have posted a new AI for therapists review. 😊

Does this do notes for a provider that prescribes

[@MaelisaMcCaffrey]

I’m not sure but reach out and try it to see 😊

I like Mentalyc, but before i commit I will try another one. The mini plan is 19.99 per month as of today.

[@MaelisaMcCaffrey]

@@mrs.mcadoo1256 definitely test a couple out before locking in a choice!

I very much hope *any* therapist using this is doing full disclosure and informed consent with their clients. I myself would *not* consent to my sessions being run through machine learning in any way, I wouldn't even be comfortable knowing it was part of your telehealth platform even if you told me it was turned off. Even outside of privacy concerns just the environmental impacts of the energy needed to run machine learning networks is ruinous. (Improving the AI means they are using the data *you* enter to continue to train it. Not something many people are OK with.)

[@MaelisaMcCaffrey]

Yes, informed consent is an essential part of the process!

I tired Mentalyc but was not impressed so I switched to Upheal. All of my clients, expect one, consented with no problem to both platforms.
