Stop Spending Your Evenings
Catching Up on Clinical Notes
Emma, mdhub's AI medical scribe, documents behavioral health sessions in real time — generating SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and progress notes so you can leave work at work.
The Documentation Problem
Clinical notes are stealing your time and your energy
Behavioral health clinicians spend 2–3 hours every day documenting sessions. That's time taken from patients, from family, and from the reason you chose this career.
After-hours catch-up
Evenings and weekends consumed by progress notes, SOAP notes, and treatment plan updates that pile up during the day.
Cognitive overload
Holding session content in memory while trying to stay present with your patient — the mental split that erodes session quality.
Format inconsistency
Payers and supervisors require specific note formats. Inconsistent documentation increases audit risk and supervision friction.
Capacity constraints
Documentation time limits how many patients you can see. Hiring more clinicians doesn't solve the systemic documentation burden.
Meet Emma
The AI scribe built for behavioral health — not general medicine
Most AI scribes are trained on general medical notes. Emma is purpose-built for behavioral health — she understands the formats, the language, and the nuance of mental health documentation. The difference shows in every note she generates.
- Listens to sessions in real time and generates clinical notes automatically
- Supports SOAP, DAP, BIRP, progress notes, and treatment plan updates
- Captures diagnosis codes, presenting problems, and interventions accurately
- Learns your documentation style over time for increasingly precise notes
- HIPAA-compliant end-to-end — your session audio is never stored
Every Format. Every Specialty.

Why Emma, Not a General AI Scribe
Built for behavioral health from the ground up
General medical AI scribes weren't designed for the language, formats, or regulatory requirements of mental health documentation. Emma was.
| Capability | Emma (mdhub) | General AI Scribe |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral health note formats | SOAP, DAP, BIRP, progress notes, psych eval, biopsychosocial — natively | Medical H&P format; behavioral formats require workarounds |
| Diagnosis code capture | ICD-10 + DSM-5 aligned | Medical ICD-10 only |
| Treatment plan linkage | Automatic goal tracking | Not available |
| Built-in behavioral health EHR | Fully integrated | Separate system required |
| Connected to billing & intake | One connected platform | Siloed tool only |
| Session audio retention | Never stored — processed in real time | Policy varies; review BAA carefully |
Clinicians Using Emma
Documentation that finally works the way you practice
★★★★★
"I used to spend two hours every evening on notes. With Emma, I'm done in 15 minutes. My SOAP notes are more thorough than anything I was writing manually — and I'm present with my clients in a way I wasn't before."
Private Practice · California
★★★★★
"Emma understands psychiatric documentation in a way general AI tools don't. My psychiatric evaluation notes are formatted exactly the way my collaborating physician and payers need them. It's genuinely impressive."
Group Practice · Texas
★★★★★
"The integration with the EHR is what makes Emma different. The note appears in the chart, linked to the treatment plan, ready to sign. We've onboarded three new clinicians and none of them had to learn a new documentation workflow."

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about AI medical scribes for behavioral health
Everything clinicians ask before switching to Emma.
What is an AI medical scribe for behavioral health?
An AI medical scribe for behavioral health is software that listens to clinical sessions and automatically generates clinical documentation — including SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and progress notes — in real time. Unlike general medical scribes, behavioral health AI scribes are trained on the specific note formats, terminology, and regulatory requirements of mental health, psychiatry, therapy, and counseling practices. Emma, mdhub's AI scribe, is purpose-built for behavioral health from the ground up.
Is an AI scribe HIPAA compliant for therapy and psychiatry sessions?
Yes. mdhub's Emma is fully HIPAA compliant. We provide a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as part of every subscription. Session audio is processed in real time for transcription and note generation — it is never stored on mdhub servers. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 standards. Emma is designed with privacy-by-design principles, not compliance as an afterthought.
What note formats does Emma support?
Emma natively supports all major behavioral health note formats including SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), DAP (Data, Assessment, Plan), BIRP (Behavior, Intervention, Response, Plan), standard progress notes, biopsychosocial assessments, psychiatric evaluations, and treatment plan updates. Emma can also learn and adapt to custom note formats specific to your practice or payer requirements.
How is Emma different from general AI scribes like Nabla or Suki?
General AI scribes are trained primarily on medical (physician) documentation — H&P notes, procedure notes, and primary care formats. They often lack native support for behavioral health note types like DAP and BIRP, and may not capture DSM-5 aligned diagnostic language accurately. Emma is trained exclusively on behavioral health documentation, integrates directly with the mdhub behavioral health EHR, and connects to intake and billing workflows — so documentation is part of the entire care operations workflow, not a standalone tool.
How long does it take to set up Emma?
Setup takes approximately 30 seconds. Log in to mdhub, configure your preferred note format (we'll suggest the right one based on your specialty), and Emma is ready for your next session. There is no IT implementation, no data migration requirement to start, and no special hardware. Most clinicians complete their first AI-assisted note within the first session after signup.
Can Emma work for group practices with multiple clinicians?
Yes. Emma scales across any number of clinicians within a group practice. Each clinician gets their own documentation profile, and Emma adapts to each individual's clinical voice and format preferences separately. Practice administrators can set default note formats, template structures, and review workflows across the group. mdhub's group practice pricing is designed for multi-clinician environments with per-seat simplicity and no hidden per-note fees.
