AI Medical Scribe for

Health Psychologists

Your notes have to bridge medicine and mind — illness adjustment, behavior change, risk, and a formulation the referring physician can act on. Medical Scribe drafts the full Clinical Interview and Treatment Plan while you keep your attention where the therapy happens.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for health psychologists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Initial Consult Ready to copy

Presenting Problem(s)

58M referred by cardiology 3 months post-NSTEMI. Persistent health anxiety with panic episodes featuring chest tightness and pulse-checking; avoiding cardiac rehab despite medical clearance. PHQ-9 12 (moderate), GAD-7 14 (moderate). Denies suicidal ideation.

Current Functioning

  • Sleep: onset delayed ~1 hour; wakes to check pulse
  • Employment: returned to accounting role part-time
  • Exercise: avoiding all exertion, including stairs, despite clearance
  • Family: supportive spouse attending appointments; describes marriage as close
  • Mood: anxious, describes waiting for the next event

Mental State Exam

  • Appearance: neatly dressed, tense posture
  • Speech: normal rate and volume
  • Mood/Affect: anxious; affect congruent and reactive
  • Thought process: logical, preoccupied with cardiac sensations
  • Insight: good — recognizes avoidance is prolonging recovery

Clinical Formulation

Predisposing: father's fatal MI at 61; longstanding tendency to somatic vigilance. Precipitating: NSTEMI 03/2026. Perpetuating: interoceptive avoidance, pulse-checking, activity restriction maintaining threat appraisal. Protective: motivated, medically cleared, strong spousal support, engaged cardiology team.

Treatment Plan

  • Adjustment disorder with anxiety (DSM-5-TR)
  • Goals: graded re-engagement with cardiac rehab; reduce pulse-checking to zero; return to full-time work
  • Intervention: CBT with interoceptive exposure, 8 sessions
  • Outcome measures: GAD-7 and PHQ-9 every 4 weeks; rehab attendance rate

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Health psychology notes serve two audiences at once

The intake is a small novel

Presenting problems, current functioning across sleep, work, and family, mental state exam, psychometrics, and a 4P formulation — a proper health psychology intake note takes longer to write than the session took to run.

Behavior change dies at the keyboard

Motivational interviewing and illness-adjustment work depend on attunement. Typing while a patient describes their cancer diagnosis or cardiac scare is exactly the wrong signal.

Medical teams read what you write

Referring cardiologists, oncologists, and GPs act on your formulation and treatment goals — vague notes waste the referral, and risk documentation still has to be airtight.

Where medicine meets behavior, on the record

Health psychology sessions range from pre-surgical evaluations to chronic-pain programs to adjustment work after a cardiac event or cancer diagnosis. Medical Scribe records the session — office or telehealth — and drafts the note that fits: a full intake with formulation, or a focused progress note tracking exposure homework and outcome measures. You review, edit, and sign.

The Health Psychologist’s Note, end to end

Drafts follow the built-in Health Psychologist’s Note: a Clinical Interview covering presenting problems, current functioning, history, risk assessment, mental state exam, psychometric findings, and clinical formulation, then a Treatment Plan organized by DSM-5-TR diagnosis with goals and outcome measures. The Psychology Progress Note handles ongoing sessions, and custom formats take minutes.

A formulation referrers can act on

Your value to the medical team is a clear causal story — what predisposed, what precipitated, what perpetuates, what protects. Because Medical Scribe drafts from the actual session rather than memory at 9pm, that story reaches the referring physician intact, with risk statements recorded precisely as assessed and nothing invented.

Frequently asked questions

Does it capture the mental state exam and 4P formulation?

Yes. The built-in Health Psychologist's Note follows the full Clinical Interview structure — presenting problems, current functioning, risk assessment, mental state exam, psychometric findings, and a formulation broken into predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating, and protective factors — populated only from what the session contained.

Are psychometric scores like PHQ-9 and GAD-7 documented?

When you state or discuss scores in session, they are captured in the Formal Psychometric Assessments and outcome-measure sections exactly as given. Medical Scribe never generates or estimates a score itself.

What about progress notes after the intake?

Alongside the Health Psychologist's Note, the built-in Psychology Progress Note covers ongoing sessions — session content, obstacles and progress, interventions, and risk management — so a 50-minute follow-up produces a right-sized note, not a re-run of the intake.

Is recording appropriate for therapy conversations?

Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant with encryption in transit and at rest. Patients are informed and consent as they would for any scribe or recording, you control the process, and every note is reviewed and signed by you before it goes anywhere.
