Ana M was created to support the work of those who care. Scheduling, records and documents are part of that routine. Our aim is to make organisation simpler, with technology that serves the professional.
Ana M started with a proposal for an anamnesis tool. It found its path in an even more pressing pain in the routine of mental health professionals: session notes.
Christian Spilhere and Michel began thinking about a system for mental health professionals. The proposal had to respect the nuances of care and the impact technology can have on the therapeutic relationship.
The first idea was a system for taking a patient history. That word, anamnese in Portuguese, inspired the name Ana M for the product. The original idea helped shape the project, but a more pressing need soon became clear.
The founders realised that documenting sessions demanded more attention. The priority became supporting listening and organising session content, with ethical care and respect for professional work.
Research on transcription gave rise to Ana's listening and documentation engine. AI-assisted reports followed, aiming for descriptive, impersonal language faithful to the content, for the professional to review. Ethics, confidentiality, and data protection were part of this build.
Even with a limited initial budget, Ana began receiving new users every day. The arrival of these professionals gave strength to the project and to the evolution of the tools for clinical routines.
Today, Ana brings together a calendar, clinical records, transcription, reports, documents and basic financial tracking. We are preparing a new chapter with the same dedication to those who care. Details will be revealed at launch.

Proposed text 路 for the founder's review
When Michel and I began thinking about Ana in October 2024, we wanted to help mental health professionals with a system that respected the particularities of the field. In this context, every technological choice has to consider the relationship between the professional and the person being seen.
We started with the idea of an anamnesis tool, but realised that session notes were a bigger pain. That shift led us to research transcription, build our own listening engine, and think about reports that organise the content for professional review.
Seeing Ana receive new users every day, even with limited initial resources, gave strength to the project. The future I want to build remains tied to this purpose: giving time, clarity, and presence back to those who care, with the professional keeping their own method and decisions.
Ana works for you.
You lead the care.
Simplify the work around sessions to give time, clarity, and presence back to those who care.
Build a future in which mental health professionals can focus their clinical time on sessions, with Ana taking on the operational work around them and the professional keeping control of clinical decisions.
Technology should strengthen presence, listening, and the bond between people.
Ana organises, proposes, and carries out tasks within the authorised scope. The professional keeps their judgement, their method, and the clinical direction.
Personal and clinical information deserves protection, respect, and clear purposes. Trust guides our decisions.
Every feature should reduce effort and make the routine lighter. Ana's evolution should eliminate work, without creating unnecessary complexity.
We make information, suggestions, actions, and limits understandable. We value review, traceability, and correcting mistakes.
A sustainable practice needs rest, boundaries, and a life outside work. The time given back should also make room for living.
Behind Ana M is a team of specialists with more than 20 years of experience in technology. People who build software for a living and understand the responsibility of building it for those who care for others.
