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 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.
