Why therapy practices still juggle Excel + Doctolib + notebooks
Doctolib bills booking; Excel drifts; paper notes never back up.
The therapy practice problem
You need a practice tool — not a heavy medical SaaS.
Doctolib bills. Excel drifts. Paper never backs up. EHRs are overkill for a solo practice.
- Doctolib / Maiia: subscription, off WordPress
- Excel agenda: drift and version chaos
- Paper notes: zero backup
- No clean public intake form
- No hours shortcode
- No CLI / REST for multi-practice fleets
The Volade answer
Clients, sessions, intakes — from wp-admin.
MHP stores clients and sessions locally, exposes shortcodes, and ships 4 privacy-first demo presets.
