Clinical documentation for psychiatrists and psychologists
From the conversation
From the conversation
to a record you can
stand behind.
Eir captures a consultation, organises it into a source-linked draft and keeps every clinical decision yours. Review it, sign it, export it to the record you already use.
One calendar month. No card. Synthetic data until your clinic's data agreement is in place.
Built by a psychologist, an engineer and a commercial lead. Meet the team

Clinical assessment · you
Your formulation and plan go here. Eir never writes this section.
Source → Draft → Your review → Signed version
Review and sign
One workflow, three steps
Prepare. Capture. Review and sign.
The source stays visible, the draft stays editable and the final decision stays yours. Nothing becomes part of the record until you sign it.
-
Prepare session
Open a new assessment session. Invite the patient to attend a consultation and complete a self-report symptom questionnaire. Missing answers are shown as missing, never guessed.
Adult ADHD intake · progress note · follow-up · referral -
Capture the consultation
Record, dictate or type. One clear Start, Pause and Stop; a visible recording indicator; English (UK, US) and Norwegian. Interruptions recover without losing a segment.
Speaker uncertainty is shown, never invented -
Review, sign, export
Every generated sentence links back to its source segment or form answer. You edit, attest and sign. Export a PDF or structured text to your patient record; amendments create a new version.
Author, version and template provenance are stored
Recognise your own work
Built for the way psychiatrists and psychologists actually document.
Adult ADHD assessment
Intake, informant input, interview and questionnaire scores assembled into one reviewable assessment report. Scores are shown as scores, not as a conclusion.
Psychology documentation
Session notes that separate what the patient reported from your formulation. Templates for progress notes and referral drafts, in your language and format.
Psychiatric follow-up
Medication names, doses, units, negation and dates preserved exactly. Repeat measures shown with instrument version and date, never labelled as a treatment effect.
How control works
You can see where every sentence came from.
- Source links. Click a statement in the draft and the transcript segment or form answer that supports it is highlighted.
- Authorship by section. Eir-generated text and clinician-authored text are labelled structurally, section by section, and the labels survive export.
- Not documented, not invented. Missing information is marked as missing. Eir never fills a gap from general knowledge.
- A visible signing boundary. Drafts cannot silently become signed records. Signing stores author, version, timestamp and template provenance.
Verification checklist
3 of 5 checked
- Names and identifiers match the episode
- Medication names, doses and units checked
- Negations preserved (“no change”, “denies”)
- Who said what is correctly attributed
- Clinical assessment section written by you
Signing is disabled until all checks are complete.
Eir Community · verified clinicians
A useful answer from the right colleague.
Not another feed. A verified network open to psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, therapists, occupational therapists and other registered clinicians in England, Norway and the USA. Ask questions without breaching confidentiality and reach colleagues for support, advice and referrals, with moderated rooms, fortnightly office hours and a specialist directory. Questions never contain patient records or identifiers.

Documentation, workflow and responsible AI
Treatment teams
You invite the colleagues involved in a patient's care, and you confirm each of them before they see anything. Documents shared with the team are visible to its members only, never to anyone outside it, and views and downloads are logged with who and when.
How treatment teams work
Lyfjaberg · research programme
Research only · not a diagnostic tool
Separately, we research the use of EEG in psychiatric assessment.
Eir's main service is the journal note: from the consultation to a record you review and sign. EEG insights is a second, separate service that is still at the research stage. It never touches the clinical record and is never needed to write or sign a note.
EEG insights is Eir's research programme on using EEG in psychiatric assessment. Our automated programme cleans, analyses and summarises a six-minute resting-state recording from a portable headband, so clinicians can use EEG alongside their usual assessment without specialist expertise. It draws on EEG markers already published in the literature. The programme does not diagnose. Our research asks whether these neurophysiological insights can make assessments more accurate and help inform decisions about diagnosis and treatment.
Phase 1 gathers feedback from psychiatrists and psychologists who try EEG insights in their own clinics: how a short resting recording fits their workflow, the signal quality, and how clear the report is. It is not a clinical study and makes no claim about diagnostic performance. Phase 2, a later clinical study, would only start with research ethics approval.
What the research module shows
Example output
Trust
Plain answers to the questions your clinic will ask.
We publish what we can evidence and label what we cannot yet. No badge stands in for a document.
Where your data goes
A plain list of every component that handles your data: hosting, database, backups, transcription, drafting and email. Legal entity, region, contract and retention for each come with the data-processing agreement. Read the data-flow inventory
What is kept, and for how long
Eir does not keep the audio after transcription. The transcript stays with the note as its source and is kept with each signed version, under your clinic's retention policy. Nothing is used for model training under that basis.
Who can see what
Every record belongs to the clinician who created it and is checked again on every access. Clinicians you invite to a patient's treatment team, and confirm, see that team's page only: the documents shared with the team and the patient's appointments and care pathway, never the rest of the record. Views and downloads are logged with who and when. One active session per clinician and rate-limited sign-in. Patients enter through expiring invitations, never an ID alone. Drafting, signing, amendments and exports are logged.
What Eir is, and is not
Eir drafts and organises. It does not diagnose, recommend treatment, score risk or triage. The research EEG module is separately governed and separately labelled.
Agreements
Data-processing agreement, DPIA support pack, subprocessor list and a recording-objection script for patients, provided before any real-patient use.
Support you can reach
A named person owns onboarding and unanswered questions. An incident contact, and a clear way to export your signed notes and close your account.
Questions clinics ask first
Before you ask.
Short answers here, full documents on the Trust page. If an answer changes, it changes there first.
Is Eir a medical device?
The documentation workflow (transcript and structured draft for your review) is not a medical device under the MHRA guidance on ambient voice technology of July 2026, because it derives no new information for your clinical decision. EEG insights, our research EEG service, is being developed as a separately governed module with its own regulatory route, and it never feeds the clinical note.
What happens to the audio?
Eir sends the audio to the transcription provider and does not keep it afterwards. The transcript stays with the note as its source so you can check every sentence; the signed record is retained under your clinic's policy. Nothing is used to train models under that basis.
What do I tell the patient?
We provide a short script and a leaflet: what the tool does, that you review and edit the note, that the recording is not kept after transcription, and that they can say no. Typing and dictation remain available for that consultation.
Does it work in Norwegian?
Yes. Source and draft can be in Norwegian bokmål; the interface is English first. Today's templates are a general consultation and a psychiatry follow-up, and epikrise and henvisning formats are planned. Transcription quality varies between dialects, so check every draft against its source.
Can I export everything and leave?
At any time. Every signed version exports as PDF or text, and a patient record exports as one text file of its signed notes. To close your account, write to us; no call is needed.
Is Eir an electronic patient record?
Eir is a clinical documentation workspace. Review and sign the note, then export it to your authorised patient record. It does not replace the record system or your clinical responsibilities.
Can I change a generated note?
Yes. Every generated note is a draft. Edit it against the source, add your assessment and sign only when you are satisfied. Corrections to signed notes create amendments while preserving earlier versions.
How does the free month work?
Your trial starts when you create an account, or when you start it explicitly if you already have one. It lasts one calendar month. No card is required and there is no automatic charge. You can still read and export saved notes after it ends.
