Modern DBT Diary Cards
No more check-in friction for your patients. No more lost or scattered insights.

Say goodbye to your old diary card system.
Say hello to precision DBT.
Traditional DBT diary cards often fail in practice. Paper cards are completed inconsistently and do not support longitudinal analysis, while app-based alternatives rely on sustained engagement that many patients struggle to maintain. As a result, critical insights are lost and DBT therapy becomes more responsive than preventive.
How do patients complete check-ins?
No app or portal required
Dbrief uses outbound, HIPAA-compliant phone calls or secure texted forms. Patients complete check-ins simply by answering a scheduled call, with an alternative option available via a secure online form sent by text.
Upload existing formats
Photos of paper cards, exports from other apps, or other file formats can be added so all diary-card data across a caseload lives in one place, regardless of how it was originally captured.
Natural conversation
Our conversational AI guides patients through check-ins naturally. HIPAA compliant, no app required, and designed for high engagement with minimal friction.
Text Message First
Daily check-ins start with a friendly text message where patients can tap to complete their diary card.
AI Call as Fallback
If a text goes unanswered, our conversational AI places a "Dbrief Check-In" call, ensuring consistent data capture even when motivation is low.
Get a Summary Instantly
Risk flags, symptom scores, and structured clinical notes, clearly organized and delivered to your dashboard for quick review before each session.
Track Progress Over Time
Compare patients to population data, monitor key symptoms, and customize metrics for each plan of care.
