The features that matter most for intake workflows
Comparing feature lists is easy. Understanding which features actually reduce your administrative drag is harder. Here's where TherapyForm AI focuses its development.
Clinical integrity
PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scoring
Automated scoring with clinical cutoff indicators. No manual calculation or pen-and-paper transposition.
SOC 2 Type II compliance
Production workloads run on infrastructure that meets current SOC 2 standards. Your patient data is handled with audit-grade controls.
Evidence-based question phrasing
All standardized instruments use validated item wording. You can quote the source directly when patients ask.
Operational efficiency
90-second form assembly
Enter your practice type, population served, and common presenting concerns. AI generates a draft form ready for clinical review.
No-code customization
Drag-and-drop question reordering, conditional logic, and multi-section forms—all without developer involvement.
One-click export to EHR
Completed intake summaries format cleanly for upload to SimplePractice, Jane App, or any SOAP-note-compatible system.
Common questions
Is TherapyForm AI a medical device under FDA rules?
TherapyForm AI generates intake documents—it does not diagnose, treat, or provide clinical recommendations. Like SimplePractice, Jane App, and IntakeQ, our platform produces intake forms that clients complete and bring to their sessions. Standardized instrument scoring (PHQ-9, GAD-7) is delivered as raw data output, consistent with how the broader market handles these tools. We recommend reviewing your state's specific guidance and consulting a compliance advisor if you have specific regulatory concerns about your practice.
How is TherapyForm AI different from SimplePractice forms?
SimplePractice offers excellent practice management infrastructure but charges separately for PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scoring. TherapyForm AI starts with AI-assisted form generation—within 90 seconds you have a structured intake draft with embedded scoring. You then adapt and deploy it in your existing system. The value is speed-to-deployment for your intake workflow, not replacing your EHR. If you already pay for SimplePractice, TherapyForm AI can slot alongside it.
Can I try TherapyForm AI without committing?
Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card required to start. Full feature access is included during the trial period. If you need a longer evaluation window or have specific compliance documentation requirements, contact us directly and we can often arrange extended access for qualified practices.
What happens to my patient data?
Your patient data is never used to train our AI models. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We operate under a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) included in all subscription tiers. Our infrastructure runs on SOC 2 Type II-compliant cloud providers. You retain full ownership of all generated content and can export or delete your data at any time.
Do I need developer knowledge to set up forms?
No. The core workflow requires no coding: you describe your practice and population, the AI generates a draft, and you refine it through a visual editor. Conditional logic, question ordering, and multi-section branching are configured through UI controls. If you can use a form builder in Notion or Google Forms, you can use TherapyForm AI.
