Kerrigan™ is an AI scribe for behavioral health and substance use treatment. The transcript appears while you are still talking. The note draft is ready seconds after you stop.
Most scribes record first and process later. Kerrigan does not.
If your program is federally assisted and treats substance use disorder, 42 CFR Part 2 governs your patient records. Disclosure rules are tighter than HIPAA, consent requirements are specific, and the 2024 Final Rule added obligations around counseling notes.
An AI scribe is not a neutral bystander to that. It creates a new system holding the recording, the transcript, and everything a language model did with them. That is the part the scribe market has not answered.
Where does the audio go? To GPUs we run in our own AWS account. It is not sent to a third-party transcription API.
Who can change a note? Only a clinician who approves the change. Every revision is a reviewed diff, versioned, with rollback.
What is on the record? Administrative actions write to an append-only audit log the application itself cannot rewrite.
What leaves the system? Nothing without a clinician exporting it. Exports are recorded with the exact body that was copied.
We give you architecture, documentation, and straight answers. We do not offer legal advice, and we do not claim to make your program compliant — that determination is yours and your compliance officer's to make.
Kerrigan transcribes live. Words land on screen during the session, not after it. When the session ends the transcript is already complete, so the note draft starts immediately instead of starting from a file in a queue.
Speech to visible text during the session. You can watch it, correct the record in the moment, and catch a misheard name while the client is still in the room.
Average time from ending a session to a draft on screen. Not a queue position, not an email later — a draft you review while the session is still fresh.
Both figures are founder-measured on our production stack, not vendor benchmarks. Real-world timing varies with session length, audio quality, and network conditions. Ask us to demo it live and time it yourself.
A 50-minute session can demand 30–45 minutes of documentation. Across a full caseload that is hours every evening — unpaid, exhausting, and a well-documented driver of clinician burnout.
Note-taking during a session forces you to divide attention between the client in front of you and the chart you are building. Your clients feel it.
Scribes that upload audio and process it later hand you a draft long after the session has left your head. Reviewing a note you no longer remember clearly is slower, and it is where errors enter the chart.
Four steps. Nothing to install.
In-person or telehealth. Kerrigan works with the Zoom sessions you already run — capture live, or import the transcript afterward and review speaker attribution. No push-to-talk, no configuration.
WhisperX runs on GPUs in our own AWS account and streams text back in about two seconds. If your connection drops or the browser reloads, the session checkpoints and resumes rather than losing the audio.
ASAM 6-dimension, DAP, or narrative progress note. A draft model writes, a second model critiques it against a rubric, and the draft is revised before you ever see it.
Ask questions about the transcript. Request a change and Kerrigan shows you a diff — nothing enters the note until you approve it. Copy the finished note into your EHR.
Most scribes will not name the models they use or the vendors that see your session. Here is our stack in plain language, including the parts that are still in progress.
Transcription is ours. WhisperX on GPUs in our own AWS account. Session audio is never sent to a third-party transcription service.
Note generation runs on AWS Bedrock inside our AWS account. Bedrock is a HIPAA-eligible AWS service and does not use customer inference data to train models. We name it because you should know it.
Encrypted at rest across the stack with AWS KMS-managed keys — databases, volumes, and object storage — and in transit over TLS 1.3.
Administrative actions are logged immutably. The audit log is append-only and enforced at the database, not by application convention.
Sessions survive failure. Live capture is checkpointed and replayable, and audio is recoverable if a session ends badly. Built after a real incident, not as a slogan.
Not yet: SOC 2, retention and deletion enforcement, multi-clinician organization accounts, supervisor review, and EHR write-back. We would rather you hear that from us than find it in diligence.
Session audio captured passively, transcribed as you speak. No push-to-talk, no pauses, nothing to install.
ASAM 6-dimension assessments, DAP progress notes, and narrative format — each written, critiqued against a rubric, and revised before you see the draft.
Capture telehealth sessions live from your device, or import the Zoom transcript afterward and review speaker attribution before the note is written. In daily use by our pilot cohort.
Ask for a revision and Kerrigan proposes a diff. You approve or you don't. Every version is retained and any version can be restored.
Ask questions about the session. Surface risk indicators, treatment themes, or exact client language — grounded in the full transcript, not a snippet.
Notes formatted for clean copy-paste into your EHR. Each export records the exact body that left the system.
Not a general-purpose medical scribe retrofitted for therapy — a tool built for the narrative, relational, and regulatory reality of behavioral health and substance use treatment.
A note on 42 CFR Part 2: records from federally assisted substance use disorder programs carry disclosure restrictions beyond HIPAA. Any AI scribe creates an additional system holding those recordings and transcripts. We built Kerrigan with that in mind — transcription on our own hardware, named vendors, clinician-gated changes, and an immutable administrative audit trail. Whether a given deployment satisfies Part 2 for your program is a determination for you and your compliance officer; we will answer any architecture question you need to make it.
When clinicians spend less time charting they see more clients, burn out less, and stay longer. That case is only worth making if the tool holds up under review — so we publish what Kerrigan does, what it does not do yet, and which vendors touch your data.
