Smartscribe

JotPsych, legally registered as SmartScribe Corp, is a health-tech entity operating in the behavioral health sector, providing an AI-powered documentation platform for clinicians. Founded in 2023 by CEO Nathan Peereboom and CTO Jackson Bierfeldt, the Washington, D.C.-based company aims to alleviate the administrative burden on mental health professionals. Peereboom's background as a clinical workflow strategist and Bierfeldt's experience as a machine learning researcher, including time at Google Health, informed the company's direction. Their initial goal was to address the significant time clinicians spend on paperwork, inspired by Peereboom’s upbringing in the healthcare-centric city of Cleveland, Ohio.

The company's core service is an AI scribe that automates the generation of clinical notes from patient interactions, claiming to reduce documentation time by over 90%. This HIPAA-compliant platform allows clinicians to record sessions, which the AI then transcribes and formats into structured, editable notes. The business model appears to be subscription-based, with monthly pricing plans for individual providers and groups. JotPsych targets a range of behavioral health professionals, including psychiatrists, therapists, counselors, and PMHNPs, and has processed over one million patient encounters across several countries, including the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

JotPsych has demonstrated rapid growth, reporting a 1300% increase in 2024. The firm secured $5 million in a seed funding round led by Base10 Partners in July 2025, which followed an earlier $300,000 friends and family round. This capital is intended to fuel product development, expand the engineering team, and advance the company's long-term vision. The ultimate objective is to evolve from an AI scribe into a comprehensive, "agentic" Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. This future platform is envisioned to automate a wider array of clinical administrative tasks, including billing, scheduling, prescription management, and care coordination, functioning as the central operating system for clinics.
