Distinct from a pure scribe — Blueprint started as a measurement-based-care platform and now ships an ambient note layer that ties session content to outcome measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7, etc.). Useful if you want one tool for both. HIPAA-aligned with BAA. Pricing is published per-clinician with a free trial. Note quality is solid on standard talk-therapy formats; specialty templates are narrower than Mentalyc or Upheal.
