Software for behavioral & mental health
Documentation, scheduling, and compliance tooling tailored to behavioral and mental-health programs — with the privacy posture this data demands.
Talk to our teamBehavioral and mental-health programs carry some of the most sensitive data in healthcare and some of the most specific documentation requirements. AST builds platforms that fit the way behavioral care is delivered — group and individual sessions, treatment plans, and outcome tracking — with privacy and compliance engineered in from the first commit.
What Behavioral Health software has to do
The capability areas we engineer end to end — each one built to ship in production and stand up to a clinical and compliance review.

What we build
Behavioral EHR & treatment plans
Documentation, assessments, and treatment-plan workflows built for behavioral and mental-health programs.
Scheduling for groups & individuals
Session scheduling that handles group, individual, and recurring care without friction.
Outcome & progress tracking
Structured measurement of progress and outcomes that's defensible for payers and compliance.
Privacy-first architecture
Heightened controls for sensitive behavioral data, designed around consent and minimum-necessary access.
Built to connect
Software only helps if it plugs into the systems you already run. We build standards-based integrations to the platforms that matter.
Telehealth
Secure, HIPAA-compliant video built into the session workflow.
e-Prescribing (EPCS)
Surescripts e-prescribing, including controlled substances.
Labs
Orders and results through standards-based interfaces.
Clearinghouses
Behavioral claims, authorizations, and remittance.
Assessment libraries
Standardized instruments integrated into documentation.
What it changes
For the program
- Compliance built for sensitive data
- Outcome evidence payers accept
- Consistent documentation
- Less administrative drag
For clinicians
- Documentation that fits the session
- Group and individual workflows
- More time with clients
- Telehealth in the same record
For clients
- Privacy handled seriously
- Easy virtual access
- Reminders and check-ins
- Continuity across their care
How we help
- 01
Sensitive data, strict requirements
We design consent, access, and audit controls around the heightened privacy behavioral data requires, so compliance is built in rather than retrofitted.
- 02
Documentation that slows clinicians
Guided, behavioral-specific documentation that captures what's needed without turning every session into paperwork.
- 03
Proving outcomes to payers
Structured outcome and progress tracking that produces the evidence payers and regulators look for.
How we deliver
One process, run by senior healthcare engineers — from first conversation to a platform that keeps shipping after launch.
- 01
Discovery & scoping
We map the clinical workflow, systems, data, and compliance constraints with the people who run them — and turn it into a delivery plan, not a wish list.
- 02
Architecture & compliance design
PHI handling, access control, audit trails, and integration boundaries are designed up front, so security is structural rather than retrofitted.
- 03
Build
A senior, healthcare-fluent pod ships production-ready increments every sprint — code review, automated testing, and clinical feedback built into the cadence.
- 04
Integration
Standards-based HL7 v2 / FHIR R4 connections to the EHRs, devices, and clearinghouses you already run — handling the hard edge cases, not just the happy path.
- 05
Validation & readiness
Clinical validation, security testing, and audit-evidence preparation so go-live and customer security reviews are confirmations, not fire drills.
- 06
Run & evolve
We stay on as an embedded team — monitoring, support, and a roadmap that keeps shipping after launch.
Ways to work with us
Embedded engineering pods
Senior, healthcare-only engineers who join your team and own delivery end to end — architecture, build, integration, and run.
Custom platform development
Ground-up clinical software shaped around your workflow: EHR/EMR, patient apps, portals, and the integrations that connect them.
Modernization & integration
Incremental migration of legacy systems and standards-based integration that brings existing platforms into a modern, compliant architecture.

Frequently asked questions
How do you handle the extra privacy behavioral data needs?
We design consent management, minimum-necessary access, and detailed audit trails into the architecture, aligned to HIPAA and the heightened expectations around behavioral and mental-health records.
Can the platform support telehealth sessions?
Yes — virtual sessions and remote care fit naturally into the workflow and flow back into the clinical record without duplicate entry.
Do you support group programs?
We build scheduling and documentation for group, individual, and recurring care, including the treatment-plan and outcome-tracking workflows behavioral programs rely on.
Are you aware of 42 CFR Part 2 requirements?
Yes — consent and disclosure handling for substance-use records is part of how we design access controls and audit, alongside HIPAA.
