# Cogent Clinic

> Cogent Clinic is an AI documentation tool for UK HCPC-registered practitioner psychologists, built and operated by Cogent Clinic Ltd. It drafts session notes in the conventions of the modality used (CBT, EMDR, CFT, schema, ACT, IFS, integrative, assessment), transcribes sessions live with client consent, de-identifies identifying details in the clinician's browser before anything reaches the AI, keeps hosting, storage and AI drafting on UK infrastructure, and uses a speech-to-text provider processing at its EU endpoint in Dublin for live session audio, which streams from the browser without passing through Cogent's servers. It is a Class I medical device under UK MDR 2002, registered with the MHRA, and the clinician is the author of record for every document it produces.
