At a glance
Verdict
Built for therapy from day one rather than retrofitted from a generic medical scribe. SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP and a handful of therapy-specific templates ship out of the box, treatment-plan drafting is genuinely useful, and telehealth capture works inside the same browser session as the call. HIPAA-aligned with a BAA, audio is not retained by default once the note is generated, and the company states it does not train models on customer session data. Pricing is published and starts with a real free tier rather than a 7-day trial. The main trade-off is depth of EHR integration: writing back into SimplePractice / TherapyNotes is mostly copy-paste today.[1]
Pros of Upheal
- Therapy-native templates (SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP) ship by default — no prompt engineering required
- Treatment-plan and progress-note generation are first-class features, not afterthoughts
- Free tier exists; paid pricing is published in USD and EUR
- Audio not retained by default; explicit no-training-on-customer-data position
Cons of Upheal
- EHR write-back is copy-paste for SimplePractice and TherapyNotes today
- 42 CFR Part 2 stance is not separately enumerated for SUD programs — confirm before deploying in OTP/SUD settings
