Most mental-health practices stitch together several tools: a traditional EHR for records and billing, a separate video app for telehealth, a payment processor, and — increasingly — a standalone AI scribe for notes. MentraNote brings all of it into one platform, and adds capabilities those categories typically don't offer at all.

What makes MentraNote different
AI-first documentation. MentraNote treats AI note generation as the core workflow, not a bolt-on: record or transcribe a session and get a structured, review-ready note (SOAP/DAP/BIRP/PIRP/GIRP) in seconds, which the clinician edits and signs.
An AI clinical assistant. Beyond notes, MentraNote reviews previous sessions before appointments, suggests interventions and homework, proposes questions, and analyzes progress trends — and scores risk with safety planning.
A multi-tenant practice platform. Unlike a single-practice tool, MentraNote lets every clinician or organization launch their own white-label branded practice, and run a marketplace billing model where clinicians charge clients while subscribing to MentraNote — combining what you'd otherwise buy as an EHR + video app + payment processor + AI scribe into one system.
