Privacy & security

Built to keep client data private

Mental health records are among the most sensitive data there is. Serene protects them with encryption, HIPAA-conscious design, deny-by-default access control, and AI you can trust, so confidentiality is the default, not an add-on.

Encryption in transit and at rest

Every request runs over TLS, and client records are encrypted at rest on Google Cloud infrastructure. Session notes, documents, and messages stay protected the whole way, from your browser to storage, so sensitive mental health data is never exposed in the clear.

HIPAA-conscious by design

Serene is built for the confidentiality that behavioral health work demands. Psychotherapy notes are kept separate from the rest of the record, consent forms are first-class, and the data model is designed around client privacy rather than bolted on afterward.

Role-based access control

Access is deny-by-default. Firestore security rules and role-based permissions mean only verified members of your practice can reach a client's data, even when clients are shared across a team, and portal logins are confirmed with a one-time passcode. No open doors, no accidental exposure.

Ethical, transparent AI

Our AI assists your clinical judgment, it never replaces it. Notes, summaries, and suggestions are yours to review and approve, and any action that changes a record is confirmed by you first. You stay in control of how technology supports your care.

Clinical insights

Get deep insight into your clients' lives

Serene turns each session into clinical insight. Track the life areas that matter, screen for depression and anxiety from the voice, and see emotion and mood trends over time, so you understand how clients are really doing between appointments.

Life-area tracking

See how a client is really doing across the areas that shape mental health, including work, relationships, health, and daily functioning. Life-area tracking turns scattered session details into a clear picture of what is improving and what needs attention next.

Voice-based screening

Serene analyzes session audio to surface voice biomarker scores for depression and anxiety, powered by Kintsugi. It is an objective, in-the-background signal that complements your clinical judgment and helps you catch changes in severity between visits.

Session insights

Every recorded session becomes structured insight: talking ratio, session duration, the emotions expressed over time, and the topics that came up. Spot patterns across sessions without re-listening to hours of audio, so your notes are richer and your prep is faster.

Emotion and mood trends

Watch progress unfold over weeks, not just within a single hour. Emotion and weekly mood analysis chart how a client is trending between appointments, so you can tailor treatment plans to what the data is telling you and show clients real, measurable change.

Built by therapists

Serene is shaped by clinician feedback and an advisory board with deep mental health experience. Every workflow is designed for how therapists actually work, from documentation to client care, rather than adapted from generic medical software.

Grounded in evidence
