Allied-Health Documentation Service

Small outpatient PT and OT clinics have no admin staff and don't want to deal with compliance. Self-serve scribes stall there. A managed service that handles the documentation for them can win.

The AI scribe market is crowded, and clinics clearly pay for help with documentation. But the way in isn't another app. It's an EU-based service that hands clinics finished notes in their own language, on a service-level agreement. These clinics won't fiddle with software between patients.

Here's the clearest money signal. Self-serve PT/OT tools cost about €45-€90 per provider per month. A human virtual scribe runs about €2,300-€3,700 per month per clinician. A managed-service retainer sits in between, around €150-€350 per provider per month.

Demand isn't the problem. Doing the work is. You have to prove your notes are accurate, that you handle compliance right, and that you spend few human minutes per note before the numbers work.

The buyer is a small outpatient PT/OT practice, ideally 1-5 therapists with no receptionist or admin staff, in Germany, France, or Spain. There, GDPR and Article 9 handling genuinely affect whether they'll buy.

• The managed service is what gets you in the door. Software alone won't sell to these clinics.
• EU hosting, a signed data processing agreement, and proper Article 9 handling are a real barrier that competitors can't easily copy.
• The market is real. But the work is heavy, and you have to control it tightly.
• How many pilots convert tells you whether this becomes a company or stays a small niche service.
