31. Using AI to Combat Burnout and Save Time with Maria Szandrach

Kerstin Anderson-Ridge Season 1 Episode 31

After rotating through five different therapists during her eating disorder and noticing that she had to repeat her story over and over (or that the clinicians would forget things she’s said), Maria Szandrach realised that something needed to be done.

That’s why she created Mentalyc - an AI-powered platform that automates note-taking for therapists, streamlines administrative tasks, and personalises treatment plans.

In this episode, we’ll speak about:

  • How Mentalyc works and saves you time
  • The differences between Mentalyc and the standard dictation programs
  • Overcoming your confidentiality, compliance and consent concerns
  • How Metallic can help with burnout in therapists
  • Why we shouldn’t be scared of AI

Find Mentalyc on Instagram, Facebook, or get your free trial of Mentalyc via their website.
