Why Choose Mena Over Amplum?
Amplum handles the basics well — scheduling, billing, WhatsApp. But if you want AI that saves hours of documentation time, analyses sessions for clinical insights, and tracks patient outcomes automatically, Mena was built for that.
AI Included at No Extra Cost
At €30/month, Mena includes AI-powered clinical notes, session transcription and CBT analysis. Amplum offers traditional management tools without any AI capabilities.
10+ Hours Saved Per Week
Automatic session transcription and AI-generated clinical notes eliminate hours of manual documentation. Amplum requires you to write all notes manually.
Clinical Intelligence, Not Just Administration
Mena doesn't just manage your practice — it analyses sessions, tracks outcomes with validated instruments (PHQ-9, GAD-7), and detects crisis situations automatically.
EU AI Act Compliant
Mena is one of the first platforms to comply with the EU AI Act, ensuring transparent, auditable AI that always keeps you in control. Both platforms store data in the EU and comply with GDPR.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Amplum and who is it for?
Amplum is a Portuguese practice management software designed for healthcare professionals. It provides scheduling, billing, clinical records and WhatsApp integration. It is a solid traditional tool but does not offer AI-powered features such as automatic notes, session transcription or clinical analysis.
What's the practical difference of having AI?
With AI, Mena automatically transcribes your sessions, generates clinical notes, analyses therapeutic patterns (CBT), and tracks patient outcomes — saving you 10+ hours per week. Without AI, you write everything manually after each session.
Can I migrate from Amplum to Mena?
Yes. Mena supports importing patient data from other platforms. Our team can assist with migration to ensure a smooth transition without data loss.
Does Mena have WhatsApp integration like Amplum?
Mena focuses on a dedicated patient portal with mood tracking, secure messaging and appointment management. While WhatsApp integration is on our roadmap, our patient portal provides a more comprehensive and GDPR-compliant communication channel.
