What Makes Soma Different
Most AI tools for therapists do one thing — transcription. Soma covers the entire documentation workflow: prep, session, and follow-up. With privacy that goes beyond compliance and a platform that grows with your practice.
Built by clinicians, for clinicians.
The Full Workflow — Not Just a Scribe
Other tools record your session and hand you a transcript. Soma handles the paperwork before, during, and after — so you walk into every session informed and leave with your notes already done.
Before Session
Review previous session notes, themes, and follow-up status. Walk in knowing what matters — not scrambling to remember.
During Session
One-click recording, live transcription, and AI-generated notes in SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or custom format. Be fully present — Soma handles the documentation.
After Session
AI-generated follow-up tasks and action items extracted from your notes. Export to your EMR — nothing stays behind.
Reports
Score validation and document processing. Soma generates the most time-consuming structured clinical reports, adhered to your writing style. Download as DOCX for referrals, insurance, or evaluations.
AI Chat
Ask questions about your caseload data during sessions and report writing. AI pulls context from your notes and history. The conversation disappears when you close it — nothing saved, nothing stored.
How Soma Compares
AI scribes handle transcription. EMRs handle records. Soma handles the entire documentation workflow — with privacy no one else can match.

Privacy That Goes Beyond Compliance
Most platforms treat privacy as a checkbox. Soma was architected from the ground up with privacy at the core — so your clients' data is protected in ways other platforms simply can't match.
Complete Anonymity
Clients are identified only by alias. No names, no emails, no date of birth, no health card numbers. Soma never knows who your clients are.
Encryption at Every Layer
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Session recordings, transcripts, notes, and client data are all protected by advanced encryption standards.
Consent-First Architecture
The client controls their own data sharing. Data flows only with explicit consent, and clients can revoke access at any time. This isn't a feature — it's the foundation of how Soma is built.
Built for PIPEDA and PHIPA compliance from day one — not retrofitted as an afterthought.
Made by Clinicians, for Clinicians
Soma wasn't designed in a vacuum by engineers guessing what therapists need. It was built alongside practicing clinicians who live the same workflows, face the same documentation burden, and understand the therapeutic relationship from the inside. Every feature exists because a clinician asked for it.
