Mena vs Amplum
Brazilian clinic software vs a Portuguese psychology platform
Amplum is a Brazilian clinic-management system from WMI, based in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. It surfaces on Portuguese-language searches for psychology software, but it is built for doctors and receptionists in Brazil: prices are in Brazilian reais, its privacy policy is governed by Brazilian law under the LGPD, and it makes no Portuguese invoicing claim. Mena is built for psychology practice in Portugal.

Two approaches
Two products for two countries
Amplum is a capable product in the market it was built for. The difficulty is that it appears in Portuguese-language search results while being designed around Brazilian rules: Brazilian tax documents, the LGPD rather than the GDPR, and the Brazilian e-prescription network. For a psychologist practising in Portugal the mismatch is jurisdictional, not a question of quality.
Amplum excels at:
- Deep WhatsApp integration for patient communication
- Established in Brazil: the vendor cites 7,000+ physician users and 800+ healthcare businesses
- A free Start plan, with paid plans from R$ 119,90 per user per month
- Broad medical-clinic tooling, including reception workflows and financial reporting
Mena excels at:
- Interactive AI clinical assistant with 12 specialized tools
- Automatic session recording with real-time transcription
- AI-powered clinical analysis with CBT frameworks
- Comprehensive patient portal with mood tracking
- Cross-session clinical memory that surfaces your notes when you need them
- Full EU AI Act compliance
When Mena fits
What Mena adds to clinical work
Amplum covers the practice management basics: scheduling, billing, WhatsApp. Mena adds a clinical intelligence layer on top: AI notes, session analysis, and validated questionnaires.
- Priced and invoiced in your currency
- Amplum publishes prices only in Brazilian reais and its financial module is reporting rather than invoice issuing. Mena's plans are in euros from €39.99 per month, and Portuguese fiscal documents are issued through certified Cegid Vendus and filed with the AT portal automatically.
- Clinical intelligence on top of admin
- Interactive AI assistant with 12 tools, an optional vocabulary of 28 emotion categories and 13 thinking patterns, and cross-session clinical memory.
- Validated questionnaires built in
- Mena administers and scores PHQ-9 and GAD-7 questionnaires and surfaces progress charts from patient responses.
- GDPR, not LGPD
- Amplum's privacy policy states it applies to processing in Brazil under the LGPD and is governed exclusively by Brazilian law. Mena stores data in the European Union and is aligned with the GDPR and the EU AI Act, which is what a psychologist in Portugal is accountable to.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Amplum and who is it for?
- Amplum is a Brazilian clinic-management system from WMI (Wellness Management Innovation) in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais. It describes itself as built for receptionists and healthcare professionals, and cites over 7,000 physician users across more than 800 healthcare businesses in Brazil. Its own pages do not mention psychologists.
- Can a psychologist in Portugal use Amplum?
- You can sign up, but three things do not transfer. Prices are in Brazilian reais. Its privacy policy applies to processing in Brazil under the LGPD and is governed exclusively by Brazilian law, while you answer to the GDPR. And it makes no Portuguese invoicing claim, so you would still need certified software to issue a fatura-recibo.
- What is the practical difference of having AI?
- Mena transcribes sessions automatically, drafts clinical notes, analyses therapeutic patterns (CBT), and tracks patient outcomes from validated instruments. Without AI, those tasks are done 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.
