PHI never leaves the device.
Mentalyc processes session audio and full transcripts in their cloud — HIPAA-compliant, but cloud-based. Mediyn redacts patient names, addresses, dates, and identifiers on the phone, before any transmission. On-device by architecture, not by policy.
Mentalyc
Session audio and transcripts processed in their cloud.
Mediyn
PHI redacted on-device. Cloud only ever sees de-identified content.
How have you been feeling since we adjusted the medication?
Much better. My mother Sarah ChenNAME noticed I've been sleeping through the night. We moved to 142 Oak StreetADDRESS last month. Next check-in is March 15thDATE.
Notes inside the practice — not bolted on.
Mentalyc is a documentation tool. You still need an EHR, scheduler, biller, portal, and telehealth tool. Mediyn collapses all of it into one platform — same AI documentation quality, plus the surrounding infrastructure.
Mentalyc
Documentation tool only. EHR, billing, portal live elsewhere.
Mediyn
Full EHR — scheduling, billing, portal, telehealth, notes — in one place.

Equivalent notes. Better architecture.
Mentalyc has been building AI notes longer in their narrow category. Mediyn benchmarks equivalent or better for modality-specific note generation — and adds worksheet generation and assessment scoring from the same session data.
Mentalyc
AI notes only. Worksheets and assessments separate.
Mediyn
AI notes + worksheets + assessment scoring from one session.
Patient reports significant improvement in sleep quality since medication adjustment last session. Describes reduced frequency of intrusive thoughts, particularly around work-related triggers.
Affect notably brighter — more engaged, sustained eye contact. PHQ-9 score decreased from 18 to 14, now in the moderate range. Patient demonstrated strong recall of CBT techniques from previous session.
Current treatment plan is progressing well. Recommend continuing medication at current dose. Assign cognitive restructuring worksheet to build on the thought record work.
Worksheets generated from the session.
Mentalyc generates notes — that's it. Mediyn turns the same session into a personalized worksheet for the patient, referencing real moments and homework, delivered the same night through the portal.
Mentalyc
No worksheet generation. Notes in, notes out.
Mediyn
Personalized worksheets generated from the session. Same-night delivery.
Situation (brief) — Where were you, who was there, what happened?

Why therapists switched from Mentalyc.
“I liked Mentalyc's notes. I didn't like that every session — audio, transcript, the whole thing — was sitting in their cloud. Our compliance officer was happier the day we switched than the day we passed our audit.”
— Maya Stenberg · LCSW · Private Practice, Chicago
“I asked my therapist what AI tool she was using because Mentalyc has been in the news. She showed me how Mediyn does it on-device and basically nothing identifying leaves the phone. That ended the conversation.”
— Ana Sotelo · Patient · Postpartum support
“Mentalyc was a notes tool. Mediyn is the practice. I cancelled three other subscriptions the month I switched — scheduler, biller, separate portal. The bill dropped, the workflow simplified, the notes got better.”
— Jordan Whitfield · LCSW · Solo, Atlanta
What therapists ask before switching from Mentalyc.
What's actually different about Mediyn's on-device PHI redaction?
Mentalyc processes session audio and full transcripts in their cloud (HIPAA-compliant, but cloud). Mediyn redacts PHI — patient names, addresses, dates, identifiers — on the device, before anything is transmitted. The cloud only ever sees de-identified data.
Mentalyc is HIPAA-compliant. Why is Mediyn's approach better?
HIPAA compliance is a checkbox. On-device redaction is an architecture. Even with a BAA, if a cloud service is breached, your patients' identifying information was there to be breached. With on-device redaction, there's nothing identifying to lose.
Will I have to set up scheduling, billing, and portal separately if I switch?
No — that's the point. Mentalyc is a documentation tool. Mediyn is the EHR. Scheduling, insurance billing (837P/835/270/271/276/277), patient portal, telehealth, assessments, worksheets — all included.
What happens to my Mentalyc notes during migration?
We import your generated notes from Mentalyc's export. Going forward, all new notes are generated on-device by Mediyn. You keep a complete history.
Will the AI quality match Mentalyc's?
Equivalent or better in our benchmarks for modality-specific note generation. We've caught up specifically because we can generate worksheets and assessments from the same session data.
I pay Mentalyc per-note. Mediyn is per-seat. Will I save money?
Depends on your volume. For solo therapists at 15+ sessions a week, Mediyn is usually meaningfully cheaper. Plus you stop paying separately for the EHR, biller, and portal you currently have.
Will my patients notice the change?
They notice positively: instead of generic worksheet PDFs, they get personalized worksheets generated from the actual session. Magic-link portal login instead of password resets. Most patients see better follow-through from their therapist, not Mentalyc-vs-Mediyn.
Your evenings belong to you. Not your notes.
Join the therapists who stopped staying late for documentation and started focusing on what matters — their patients.
