Privacy-first design
Built for the sensitivity of mental health practice
Strict access control
Mental health records are visible only to the treating clinician. Admin and billing staff cannot access therapy notes without explicit permission from the practice owner.
Session notes & treatment plans
Document therapy sessions with structured SOAP notes or free-form narrative. Create long-term treatment plans and track patient progress over time.
Intake forms & mental health assessments
Digital intake forms (PHQ-9, GAD-7, DASS-21) that patients can complete before their appointment. Results automatically linked to the patient record.
DPDP Act compliant
Patient mental health records are treated as Sensitive Personal Data. All data is encrypted at rest, stored in India, and subject to strict purpose limitation under the DPDP Act 2023.
Privacy-first scheduling
Appointment reminders are sent only if the patient has opted in. You control what information appears in reminder messages — no diagnosis or provider name shared without consent.
Secure communication
WhatsApp appointment reminders with no clinical information by default. Communication logs are stored and audit-trailed for compliance.
Compliance
Mental health records under the DPDP Act 2023
Sensitive Personal Data classification
Mental and physical health records are explicitly classified as Sensitive Personal Data under the DPDP Act 2023. OpdNest treats all mental health records with the highest level of data protection — encryption, strict access control, and purpose limitation.
Patient data rights
Under the DPDP Act, patients have the right to correction, erasure, and nomination of their data. OpdNest provides patient data export and deletion workflows that your clinic can execute on request.
No secondary use of health data
OpdNest never uses patient mental health records for advertising, research, or any purpose other than providing the clinic management service. Data is not shared with third parties without explicit patient consent.

FAQs
Common questions about mental health EHR software in India
Is OpdNest suitable for psychiatrists and psychologists in India?+
Yes. OpdNest is used by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, counsellors, and mental health clinics across India. It provides confidential record-keeping, therapy session notes, digital consent forms, appointment scheduling, and WhatsApp reminders — with privacy-first design appropriate for mental health practice.
How does OpdNest protect the confidentiality of mental health records?+
Mental health records in OpdNest are protected by role-based access control (RBAC) — only the treating clinician and explicitly authorised staff can access therapy notes. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256), stored on Indian servers, and backed up daily. The DPDP Act 2023 treats mental health records as Sensitive Personal Data, and OpdNest is compliant with this classification.
Can I use digital intake forms and assessments (PHQ-9, GAD-7) in OpdNest?+
OpdNest includes digital intake forms that patients can complete before or during their appointment. Validated screening tools (PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, DASS-21) can be added as custom templates. Results are automatically linked to the patient record and tracked over time.
Does OpdNest support therapy session notes?+
Yes. Each appointment in OpdNest has a dedicated notes section. Therapists can document sessions using structured SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) or free-form narrative. You can create reusable note templates for common session types.
How are appointment reminders handled for mental health patients?+
OpdNest's appointment reminders are patient-opt-in and can be configured to show no clinical information. The default reminder message contains only the appointment date, time, and clinic name — no diagnosis, no provider name, no mental health references. Patients can opt out of reminders at any time.
Is OpdNest compliant with the DPDP Act 2023 for mental health data?+
Yes. OpdNest treats mental health records as Sensitive Personal Data as defined by the DPDP Act 2023 and Section 43A of the IT Act. All such data is subject to encryption, purpose limitation, storage limitation, and patient data rights (correction, erasure, nomination). We do not use patient health data for any purpose other than providing the clinic management service.
Can I manage a multi-therapist or multi-provider mental health clinic?+
Yes. OpdNest supports multi-therapist practices with individual record access, separate appointment calendars, and therapist-wise revenue reports. Each therapist's notes are private to them by default. The practice owner or administrator can configure cross-therapist visibility based on practice needs.
What is the cost of mental health EHR software in India?+
OpdNest's mental health EHR features start at ₹399/month for a single-provider practice. Multi-provider practices add users at ₹149/user/month. There are no per-patient fees, no setup charges, and no long-term contracts. Annual subscriptions receive 2 months free.
