ClinicBox
Pre-launch · Design-partner phase

AI scribe for therapists. Your data never leaves the box.

ClinicBox is a small on-prem appliance designed to draft SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and EMDR notes in under a minute — with session audio and PHI staying entirely inside your office. No cloud, no BAA chain.

No credit card. Just an email to hold your spot in the first shipment.

Built for US private-practice mental health clinicians who don't want session audio leaving their office.

A clean private-practice therapist's desk in soft daylight; a small charcoal hardware box sits beside a notebook, with a single ethernet cable plugged into the wall.
LAN only · 0 outbound packets by design

Currently in design-partner phase — limited initial batch shipping to early reservations.

The two-truths problem

What every private-practice therapist has been living with.

01

Documentation is eating your week.

Most outpatient therapists spend 10 to 14 hours per week on progress notes — the single largest contributor to burnout in behavioral health (Psychiatric Services, 2023). Sundays are charting Sundays.

02

Cloud AI scribes ask you to trust someone you can't audit.

Every vendor in the category runs your patient's session audio through their cloud. Their BAA is paper. Their SOC 2 audits their promises. Neither is an audit of your therapy session. And every quarter another vendor quietly rewrites a ToS.

You've already had the conversation in your head. What happens if their model trains on my client's voice? What do I tell a patient who asks where the recording goes? What does my next HIPAA risk assessment look like? Meanwhile your Sundays still belong to charting, and the next OCR enforcement headline is one news cycle from being in your state.

The architecture, not the promise

ClinicBox is a small appliance you plug into your office network.

The entire AI model — a clinically-tuned open-weight LLM (Llama 3.1 / Qwen 2.5 class) — runs on the box. Session audio enters the box. The note comes out. Nothing in between ever touches a cloud.

You own the hardware. You control the only network port. Unplug the ethernet mid-session and the note keeps generating. That's not a promise about a vendor. That's the architecture.

What changes when the AI lives in your office

Five things that are different.

Your data never leaves the box.

Session audio, transcripts, and notes never traverse your LAN. No cloud vendor in the loop — by architecture, not promise.

SOAP, DAP, BIRP, EMDR from day one.

Notes drafted by a model tuned on therapy-session patterns, not general medicine. Designed for fewer edits and better fidelity than broad-clinical scribes.

Plug in power and ethernet. Done.

No port forwarding. No IT department. Open clinicbox.local from your laptop and run your first session through it the same week.

The box keeps working even if we don't.

Model weights are local. Binaries are signed and on-device. You bought a tool, not a subscription to your own data.

An honest answer for your intake form.

"This office uses on-prem AI. No patient audio ever leaves this building." One sentence. Defensible. Yours.

From email to first note

Three steps. Designed to set up in 30 minutes. Running by your next session.

01

Reserve

Leave us your email and reserve a box in the next shipment. We ship in the order requests arrive.

02

Plug in

When your box arrives, plug power and ethernet into the wall. Open clinicbox.local on the laptop you already use.

03

Record a session

Use the paired desk mic or import a recording. The note is designed to be ready in under a minute. Copy-paste or PDF-export to your EHR.

Real users, real outcomes

Coming soon — from the people running the first batch.

ClinicBox is currently in design-partner phase.

Real testimonials from named PsyD and LCSW partners will appear here once their first cycle of use is complete — with their specific time-saved-per-week figures and what they told their patients about the box.

We will not invent quotes.

FAQ

The questions every therapist asks us.

Why hardware? I already pay $59/mo for Upheal or Mentalyc.
Upheal's SOC 2 audit verifies their promises about how they handle audio. ClinicBox makes the audit unnecessary by architecture — there is no vendor process to audit because there is no vendor in the loop. Over 3 years your total cost is comparable: you replace roughly $2,800 of cloud subscription with an Expected $1,500 hardware + Expected $1,200/yr software. Pricing is indicative and may change before general availability.
What if your company shuts down?
The model weights are on your box. The binaries are signed and on-device. We will publish our update-signing keys before general availability. Your box keeps drafting notes regardless of what happens to us.
How do I get notes into SimplePractice or TherapyNotes?
One-click copy or PDF export at launch. Deeper SimplePractice and TherapyNotes integrations are on the roadmap, targeted for the quarter after general availability. If you require a deep EHR integration today, ClinicBox is not the right fit yet — we'll tell you that on a call.
Is the box HIPAA compliant?
"HIPAA compliant" is not a certification — it is a set of practices, and the practice owner is the covered entity. ClinicBox is designed so you stay the only party with access to PHI; there is no business associate involved in the AI step. We publish our threat model and provide attestation language for your annual risk assessment.
Does the AI hallucinate?
Yes — every clinical AI does, and ClinicBox is no exception. We design for clinician-in-the-loop review on every note. We will publish our evaluation methodology and show side-by-side accuracy on real (de-identified) audio against the major cloud scribes once design-partner testing is complete.
When can I get one?
We are shipping the first batch to design partners now. Joining the waitlist holds your spot in the next general shipment — you'll get a date estimate by email once we confirm the next batch size.

Reserve your box.

We'll only email you about ClinicBox. We will never train any model on your reservation data. If you change your mind before we ship, your email gets deleted on request — no recovery, no archive.
