Where Docdemic is different
EU hosting for European therapists
Docdemic keeps content in EU data centres; Mentalyc states US data residency.
Therapy templates plus check-ins
Docdemic’s therapy pack covers DAP, BIRP, intake and treatment plans, and clients can answer between-session check-ins you choose.
Beyond therapy
Docdemic also covers mixed clinics, e.g. a practice with both therapists and physiotherapists.
Between-visit check-ins
Patients answer the questions you choose on their phone between visits, and a summary is ready when you write the next note.
Research add-on
The same workspace handles literature search, interview transcription and statistics for clinicians who also do research.
When Mentalyc may suit you better
Mentalyc is built only for mental health and lists transfer to US therapy EHRs such as SimplePractice and TherapyNotes; a US therapist on one of those may prefer it.
