Cognic AI - Innovative mobile app for therapists
Mental health practitioners, especially psychotherapists, often struggle to find time to prepare notes and summaries after therapy sessions. The task is time-consuming and difficult, especially with a packed schedule. In response, the Cognic.pl mobile app was built using artificial intelligence.
Challenge
Mental health practitioners, especially psychotherapists, often struggle to find time to prepare notes and summaries after therapy sessions. The task is time-consuming and difficult, especially with a packed schedule. In response, the Cognic.pl mobile app was built using artificial intelligence.
Solution
Cognic.pl is an innovative tool built by GMI Software in cooperation with Angelika, an experienced psychodietitian. Available on iOS and Android, the app automates session summaries based on recordings.
One tap starts a session; when it ends, the app generates ready-made notes using agreed templates.
Implementation process
The project began by testing AI models that can process therapy sessions accurately. We evaluated both online models and on-device offline models to balance flexibility with the highest level of data protection.
In parallel, we explored real-time emotion reading and colour visualisation - an area that remains under active development.
Development progressed in stages. The app was tested internally first, then with patients involved. In the first month of beta testing, a thousand interested therapists joined and their feedback was critical to refining features.
Close cooperation with legal and data protection experts was also key to full regulatory compliance, including GDPR.
Regulations for AI in healthcare are still evolving. Governments and legal institutions are only now drafting rules that enable broader AI use, for example in imaging analysis or diagnostic support.
GMI works actively with legal experts to keep the app compliant with current and future rules while preparing for changing market needs.
Technologies
The app is built with React Native and Expo for iOS and Android. The server stack uses Node.js, Redis, and PostgreSQL for performance and scalability.
The team also continues integrating new AI models to further improve the product.
- Frontend: React Native with Expo - iOS and Android app
- Backend: Node.js - high-performance application server
- Database: PostgreSQL - secure data storage
- Cache: Redis - fast data access
- AI: Models for processing therapy sessions
Results
- Within the first month of beta testing, Cognic.pl attracted 1000 therapists
- Automation of summary creation allowed users to save an average of 30 minutes after each session
- The app gained recognition among psychotherapists, and cooperation with medical facility networks opened the way for large-scale implementation across Poland
- Thanks to this, therapists across the country will be able to use the app, which will facilitate standardization of work in this sector
Summary
Cognic.pl shows how technology, including AI, can support specialists in daily work. The app saves time and raises the quality of therapy by letting therapists focus on what matters most - their patients. With team commitment and continuous improvement, Cognic.pl has the potential to become a key tool for psychotherapists.
