Cognic AI – Innovative AI App for Psychotherapists

Challenge

Mental health practitioners, especially psychotherapists, often struggle with a lack of time to prepare notes and summaries after therapy sessions. This task can be time-consuming and difficult, especially with a tight schedule. In response to these challenges, the Cognic.pl mobile application was created, using artificial intelligence.

Solution

Cognic.pl is an innovative tool created by GMI Software in cooperation with Angelika, an experienced psychodietitian. The application, available for iOS and Android, automates the process of creating summaries of therapeutic sessions based on recordings. Just one click is enough to start the session, and after its completion, the application generates ready-made notes according to established templates.

Implementation process

The project began with testing various artificial intelligence models that enable precise processing of therapy sessions. Both online and offline models were tested on the device to ensure flexibility and the highest level of data protection. At the same time, the application’s potential in reading emotions in real time and visualising them in the form of colours was analysed – this area remains the subject of further development work.

The project was developed in stages. First, the application was tested internally and then with patients. During the first month of beta testing, a thousand interested therapists joined the project, and their opinions were crucial in improving the application’s functions. A key element of the process was also close cooperation with the legal department and data protection experts to ensure full compliance with regulations, including GDPR.

It is worth emphasising that regulations regarding the use of AI in the medical sector are still in the development phase. Governments and legal institutions are just developing provisions enabling the widespread use of AI, for example, in the analysis of imaging test results or diagnostic support. GMI actively works with legal experts to ensure the application complies with current and future regulations, while preparing it for changing market needs.

Technologies

The app was built in React Native using Expo, which allows you to create a solution for iOS and Android. On the server side, Node.js, Redis and PostgreSQL were used to ensure high performance and scalability. Additionally, the team is constantly working on integrating new AI models that will further improve the operation of the application.

Results

• During the first month of beta testing, Cognic.pl attracted 1,000 therapists.
• Automating the creation of summaries saved users an average of 30 minutes after each session.
• The application has gained recognition among psychotherapists, and cooperation with networks of medical facilities has opened the way to implementing the solution on a large scale throughout Poland. Thanks to this, therapists across the country will be able to use the application, which will facilitate the standardisation of work in this sector.

Summary

Cognic.pl is proof of how technology, including artificial intelligence, can support specialists in everyday challenges. The application not only saves time but also improves the quality of the therapist’s work, enabling him to focus on what is most important – the patients. Thanks to the team’s commitment and continuous improvement of the solution, Cognic.pl has the potential to become a key tool in the work of psychotherapists.
