Do Not Retain Therapy Session Transcripts: A Plea to Mental Health Tech Companies, Therapists, and Clients
Even if they are "de-identified" and "de-coupled", retaining therapy session transcripts still poses an unnecessary risk to clients and therapists. This is an attempt to urge mental health companies (and their users) to not consent to this.

Think Before You Record
Data breaches will happen, so it's important to think about whether sensitive data needs to be recorded or stored in the first place. Limiting unnecessary data storage and avoiding recordings can help protect privacy and reduce the impact of a breach.
Reviews for Quill about HIPAA
"I cannot believe how much easier this has made documentation. And I love your stance on AI. I have not and will NEVER use ambient listening, auto documentation or whatever companies are disguising these HIPAA violations as into my sessions. I've spent too much time and energy cultivating the therapeutic relationship to break for the sake of 'convenience'. Quill allows me to take my thoughts and put it in the appropriate format for the medical record. Thank you so very much for this practical and perfect solution. I am looking forward to what you come up with next."
Please remember: HIPAA is not a guarantee of privacy and security. It outlines details of how an organization will handle a data breach as well -- not that there will be zero data breaches. So please, if you're a therapist, do not take "HIPAA compliant" as a 100% guarantee of privacy and security.
This is why at Quill, we focus on data minimization as well. If we don't need the data (like a therapy session recording or transcript), then we don't want that data! The safest data is the data that never existed to begin with.
