Therapy homework app:
what clinicians need to know.

What the platform does

• Clinicians assign journaling prompts, structured exercises, and homework to individual clients through the dashboard
• Clients receive assignments in their app and complete them at their own pace
• Clients choose which responses to share before each session, nothing is shared automatically
• Clinicians see shared responses, mood patterns, and check-in data in a caseload dashboard
• Automatic pre-session briefs summarise client activity ahead of each appointment

What it does not do

• The platform does not deliver therapeutic interventions
• The AI component is an instrument only, the clinician retains full accountability for clinical decisions
• The platform is not a crisis service and does not conduct risk assessment
• It is not an EMR, scheduling system, or billing platform

Privacy architecture

All client data is stored on Canadian servers. Each client-clinician pair uses an isolated AES-256 encryption key. If a client revokes consent, their key is rotated and existing data becomes permanently unreadable.
