AI scribe / therapy notes
Words without the body
Transcript and note generation — what was said. Physiological stress points never enter the chart.
SeroState
The category for biological ground truth from the therapy hour — fused to dialogue, delivered after the session as reviewable FHIR R4 evidence.
This is Session Physiology in the chart — redacted wearable-present sample. Clinician review required; share with client or supervisor when care calls for it.
QOAX Clinical Session Report
Client [redacted] presented for follow-up regarding occupational stress. The session moved from frustration and feeling stuck toward identifying a concrete workplace resolution path. No safety or crisis indicators were present. Recommend follow-up to assess implementation of the agreed strategy.
30-second windows · green positive · red negative · grey neutral
Workplace workflow conflict anger
Uncertainty markers detected in self-advocacy with supervisors. Session arc: stuck → brainstorming → reduced frustration. Physiological corroboration present for the mid-session arousal peak.
Sample is illustrative and redacted. Not a clinical claim about accuracy.
More than an AI scribe — and still chart-ready. We do not replace note tools; we complete the encounter record.
AI scribe / therapy notes
Transcript and note generation — what was said. Physiological stress points never enter the chart.
Wearables / continuous RPM
Streams and day averages — not a clinician-reviewable encounter fused to dialogue.
Surveys / MBC
Essential outcomes tracking — too coarse to meet a sentence inside the therapy hour.
SeroState
Body + dialogue fused into post-session evidence — documentation-ready, clinician-finalized, API-delivered.
SeroState coined Session Physiology: physiological and vocal signals from a consented behavioral-health encounter, time-aligned to conversation, converted into structured evidence the clinician reviews and finalizes.
Session Physiology does not replace the scribe or measurement-based care. It supplies the encounter physiology those tools never produce.

Five institutional moves. One Session Physiology layer — hardware-agnostic, API-ingestible, finalized by the licensed clinician.
Capture session-dense wearable heart rate — and EDA when the device provides it — plus session audio. Scoped to the clinical encounter, dense enough to align with conversation moments.
Conduct the measured encounter — not the therapy itself. Consent, BYOD or clinic-pool capture, then fuse body signals and dialogue on one timeline so stress points surface as reviewable say/body gaps.
BYOD
Patient wearable via HealthKit for established patients and RPM paths.
Clinic pool
Checkout hardware for intakes and equity access; EDA when that device supplies it.
Deliver the QOAX Clinical Session Report and FHIR R4 payload: documentation support and CMS-aligned code positioning context. Not CMS endorsement. Final coding remains with the licensed provider.
Treatment-period monitoring across the care course. Each consented session adds a measured point — quantified stress and recovery session-to-session. Not a real-time wellness feed.
Share the measured session with a supervisor when oversight is needed — physiological ground truth beside the note, under consent and role-scoped access. SeroState does not supervise clinicians; it makes evidence-based oversight possible.
Sensitive data stays with the care relationship. Clear limits protect clinicians, patients, and institutional partners.
Independent field context — therapists catch about 1 in 8 deteriorating clients (Østergård et al., 2024; not a SeroState study). Session Physiology makes the hour measurable beside forms and notes.
For clinical platforms, health systems, and research partners building the evidence layer behavioral health has been missing.
