2026 Mental & Behavioral HealthTech Award Winner: Zanda Health

Zanda Health’s BizzyAI was selected for its practical approach to reducing the documentation, communication, and administrative demands placed on mental health and allied health professionals. Rather than requiring practitioners to move sensitive information into a separate general-purpose AI tool, BizzyAI operates within Zanda’s existing practice management platform.

BizzyAI: Scribe supports live-session transcription and dictated notes, then prepares structured clinical documentation using the practitioner’s selected template. Practitioners can adjust the tone, format, level of detail, and instructions while retaining responsibility for reviewing and approving the final clinical record. This allows clinicians to remain more attentive during sessions while reducing the amount of documentation left for the end of the day.

The broader BizzyAI suite extends that support into other practice workflows. BizzyAI: Write helps prepare letters, emails, client replies, policies, templates, and other communications. BizzyAI: Note Refine turns rough clinical or administrative notes into clearer documentation. BizzyAI: Insights is designed to help practitioners locate relevant information from client histories and previous notes for summaries, referrals, reports, and communications.

Zanda also provided measurable examples of the platform’s effect on daily practice. Psychologist Miki Skinner reported reducing documentation time from approximately 15 minutes to five minutes per note, a 66% reduction. Dr. Will Vaughn reported reducing note-writing time from approximately 10 minutes to two minutes. Practitioner Kathryn Theodosis reported seeing approximately 15 to 20% more clients on an average working day without a corresponding increase in administrative or cognitive burden.

Security and professional oversight were also important parts of the submission. Zanda is ISO 27001 certified and independently verified for compliance with applicable HIPAA, GDPR, and Australian Privacy Principles requirements. Practitioners retain control over AI-assisted outputs and transcript settings, and customer clinical data is not used to train public AI models. BizzyAI is designed to support professional judgment while keeping the practitioner responsible for the final record.
