Question 1

Can AI write clinical and psychological reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Soma generates structured clinical reports from your own source documents — you provide your assessment data and notes, and Soma produces a complete, organized draft that you review and sign. The draft is written in your voice and clinical style, not generic AI language, and each section is verified against your source documents. You remain the clinician of record.

Question 2

How does Soma's AI report generator work?

Accepted Answer

Three steps: upload your source documents, Soma drafts a structured report organized by section, and you review, edit, and sign every page. Content is verified against your source documents, and the AI drafting is de-identified and zero-retention — your data is never stored by the model or used to train it.

Question 3

Will an AI-drafted report sound like me or like generic AI?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you. Soma drafts in your voice and adheres to your writing style rather than a generic template. Because you review, edit, and sign every page, the final report reflects your clinical judgment and opinions — you remain the clinician of record.

Question 4

Can I export reports and notes to Word (DOCX)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reports and notes generate from your data and export as DOCX, so they drop straight into your existing documentation workflow.

Question 5

What goes into a Soma report, and does it validate scores?

Accepted Answer

You provide the source documents and clinical input; Soma organizes them into a review-ready draft with consistent sections and score validation. It's built to remove the manual assembly of a report, not to replace your clinical judgment — you review and sign the final document.

Question 6

What note formats does Soma support?

Accepted Answer

Soma includes a library of more than 20 note formats. It covers the four standard structures every clinician expects — SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), DAP (Data, Assessment, Plan), BIRP (Behavior, Intervention, Response, Plan), and GIRP (Goals, Intervention, Response, Plan) — plus freeform progress notes. Each note is drafted from your session transcription in the format you choose, and you review, edit, and export it. Processing data is destroyed after export.

Question 7

Does Soma have note templates for specific therapy types, like EMDR, DBT, or couples work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beyond the standard formats, Soma includes modality- and population-specific note templates — including EMDR, DBT, IFS, OCD/ERP, trauma-informed, PTSD, somatic, crisis intervention, couples therapy, play therapy, addiction counseling, eating disorder, geriatric, adolescent, school counselor, BCBA/ABA, and PMHNP psychiatric notes. Clinicians can also use custom templates built for their own documentation needs, such as multi-section assessment formats, so the note matches how you actually write.

Question 8

How does Soma speed up clinical documentation?

Accepted Answer

Soma produces the first draft of your note so you spend your time reviewing instead of writing from a blank page. SOAP, DAP, and BIRP notes are drafted in minutes, then you review, edit, and export.

Question 9

What is Soma's AI Chat?

Accepted Answer

Soma's AI Chat is a caseload copilot: you can ask questions about your caseload and get answers grounded in your session context. The conversation is ephemeral — nothing from it is stored.

Question 10

Is the AI Chat private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Chat is ephemeral — nothing from the conversation is stored. Soma is a workspace, not a vault: you decide what stays.

Question 11

Where is my client data stored?

Accepted Answer

In Canada. Soma runs storage and compute on AWS in Montreal, so your records don't leave the country. The platform is built on a Canadian privacy framework, end-to-end, and is PIPEDA-aligned.

Question 12

Is my client data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Soma's AI drafting is zero-retention — your data is never stored by the model and never used to train any AI model. Processing data is destroyed after export.

Question 13

Is Soma secure and PIPEDA-aligned?

Accepted Answer

Soma is built PIPEDA-aligned with a privacy-by-design architecture. Data is encrypted (AES-256-GCM), AI processing is de-identified, and the drafting model is zero-retention.

Question 14

How long is my data kept, and can I delete it?

Accepted Answer

You control retention. Data auto-deletes on your schedule and processing data is destroyed after export — Soma is a workspace, not a vault, so you decide what stays.

Question 15

Who is Soma for?

Accepted Answer

Soma is built exclusively for licensed therapists, counselors, and clinicians in private practice and clinics. It's clinician-first software that you manage — not a consumer wellness app.

Question 16

Accepted Answer

Question 17

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Soma's clinician workspace is entirely web-based — open your browser and sign in. There's nothing to install.
