After the session

Notes drafted for you to sign

With the patient's consent, Althio drafts the note in SOAP, DAP, BIRP or your own template, tied to the care plan's goals and measures. You review, edit and sign.

Data. Patient reports three nights of 4–5 hours' sleep and cancelling two social plans. Used grounding five times between sessions.

Assessment. Increased low mood (PHQ-9 14, from 11) with avoidance. Thursday episode reviewed; safety plan in place.

Plan. Sleep routine, behavioural activation. Check-ins continue; review in one week.

The problem

Care fills the hour. Notes fill the evening.

Notes written after every session eat into breaks and evenings, and notes written late lose detail. Clinicians should finish the day with the day's notes done.

How it works

Three steps, from setup to the session

  1. The patient consents

    Althio drafts a note only with the patient's agreement.

  2. The note drafts during the session

    In your template, linked to the week's brief and the care plan.

  3. You review and sign

    Edit what you need. Nothing is final without your signature.
