## Why thought records?

The thought record is a core cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) exercise, but paper worksheets get lost, forgotten or filled in minutes before the session. Diário RPD keeps the same structure in your patient's pocket, so records are written close to the moment and arrive organised.

## Built to support your clinical work

- Structured thought records: Situation, automatic thoughts, emotions, behaviour and alternatives, with cognitive distortions to identify.
- Emotions & mood between visits: Intensity and energy logs show how your patient felt, not only how they remember feeling.
- Medication & reminders: Patients log doses and keep their reminders, and adherence appears next to their mood.
- Reports for your sessions: Patients share PDF and CSV reports of the entries they choose, ready to read before or during the appointment.
- Private & encrypted: A PIN encrypts the diary on the patient's device, and it works offline. You only see what the patient decides to share.
- Photos in your Check-In: Patients can add photos to a situation, giving you visual context for the thoughts behind it.

## Questions therapists ask

### Do my patients need an account or internet?

The diary works offline and entries stay on the patient's device.

### How is my patient's information protected?

When a patient sets a PIN, the diary is encrypted on their device. Recovery codes, given once in a PDF, let them back in if they forget the PIN. You do not receive any data unless the patient shares it.

### How do I get my patients' records?

Patients create PDF or CSV reports from the entries they choose and share them with you however you both prefer, for example before or during the session. Nothing is shared unless they do it.

### Does it replace therapy or my clinical judgement?

No. It is a self-help tool that supports the work you do with your patients, not a diagnostic or treatment tool. What the entries mean is for you and the patient to explore together.
