What makes Therabyte unique to other platforms?
- Three-step visual scheduler – At a glance, our three-step scheduler allows you to see the stages of each client event. This allows for a quick visual check to see if you have finished your planning and charting each day.
- One-click invoicing – Invoices start when an event is created. Viewing all un-invoiced items in the client chart, you can combine multiple sessions into one invoice for easy monthly billing to your client or funder.
- Goal tracking – Therabyte integrates goals into the client workflow and allows for session note taking on each goal, as well as progress tracking. This ensures you stay on task with your goals during each session.
Who should use Therabyte?
What makes Therabyte secure?
- Canadian hosted
- Full 2-way encryption (TSL 1.2 AES 256 bit encryption)

The information stored on our servers is safer than the information stored on your computer, due to backups and built-in redundancy. It is also safe from fires or floods.
How else can I safeguard my client information?
- Use a secure password – A secure password should include a capital letter, number and symbol.
- Consent forms – When service delivery type changes, a new client consent should be completed that includes information about the technology used and where client information is stored.
- Password protected – Make sure to keep your computer password protected as well as any technology that you use where health information is shared to the cloud, eg. Email, text etc.

How long does it take to set up my Therabyte account?
Do you offer batch client upload?
Other practice management software systems will offer this information to you if you are switching from another EMR.
How will I benefit from Therabyte if I only have a few clients?
I find new software really intimidating. Is Therabyte intuitive?
- We offer personalized onboarding
- Daytime tech support by in-app chat, email or phone
- You get guided email onboarding to help set up your clinic
I am a busy clinician. How long will it take to switch to digital charting?
- Batch import – you can send us a list of specific client fields in an excel spreadsheet. This can be acquired from your previous provider or other software you use and we will do the magic of adding that data to your clinic.
- Pick a couple of clients a week to start on the new platform and do a gradual transition. This will allow you to become familiar with the platform at a pace you can easily manage.
- Try inputting your contacts and switching over your client calendar before you start charting and using the other integrations.
- Make charting a habit! We designed the scheduler with a three-step process with visual cues so that it keeps you on track. You are visually rewarded when you close the loop on an event and finish your charting daily.
