Contexa holds what happens in between, in your own words, and gives you a way to hand over the parts you choose. Nothing leaves your account until you say so.

The GP has ten minutes and last year's letter. The psychologist has the sessions. The family sees the mornings and the bad Sundays. The person in the middle is asked to be the messenger between all of them, usually on their worst day.
Every service holds a partial file, none of them talk to each other, and none of them belong to the person the file is about.
A fortnight of sleep, side effects and small wins gets compressed into "not too bad, I think" because that is what recall does under pressure.
New clinician, new intake form, start from the beginning. People stop engaging because retelling it costs more than it returns.
Four things, in order. Each one only works because the one before it did.
Mood, sleep times, medication taken one by one, energy, what pushed on you, what helped and who you spoke to. Every list has an add-your-own, and anything you type is offered back to you tomorrow, so the vocabulary becomes yours rather than ours. Turn off any section you do not want to be asked about.
Free writing when you have the words, a guided structure that separates what happened from what you made of it when you do not, or voice when typing is too much. You mark each entry private, summarisable or shareable, and you can change your mind afterwards.
Six weeks on one line. Tap any day and get it back. Contexa will point out that the nights under five hours were followed by lower days, and then say plainly that this is a pattern in what you recorded, not a cause.
Before an appointment, Contexa drafts what has changed, drawn only from entries you marked shareable. You edit any line, switch whole sections off, add your own questions, then press approve. Access expires on a date you set, and you can withdraw it afterwards.
A working prototype with two sides. Change something as a person and the practice portal sees it happen. Everyone and everything in it is fictional.
Six weeks of a real-shaped record. Do a check-in, write an entry, look at your patterns, then approve a summary and decide what your psychologist sees.
Open the app →A caseload, client-authored summaries, consent that expires on its own, prompts, measures, outcomes and a handover builder that refuses to run without consent.
Open the portal →The same sign in opens either side. Choose the tab you want on the sign in screen.
Most health software asks permission once, at sign up, and then treats the answer as permanent. That is not consent, it is a formality collected at the least informed moment.
In Contexa, sharing starts at nothing. Every category is a separate decision, each one carries an expiry, and withdrawing is one tap with no explanation owed to anyone. The person sees exactly who opened what and when, and a clinician cannot extend or restore their own access.
How the privacy model worksA summary arrives written and approved by the client, so you open a session already knowing what changed, what they are worried about and what they want to ask. Every fact is labelled with where it came from, and a supporter's account stays a supporter's account rather than being merged into fact.
Nothing pages you. Nothing scores anyone. The practice portal is explicit that no one is monitoring records between sessions, because a product that implies otherwise is dangerous.
What the practice portal does| What you get | Where it came from |
|---|---|
| What has changed since the last session | Their check-ins |
| Medication and side effects over time | Self-reported, marked as such |
| What they want to ask you | Written by them |
| An observation from a supporter | Held as that person's view |
| Their safety plan | Shared deliberately |
| Journal entries | Never, unless they attach one |
