AI documentation and EPIKUR: the reviewed draft in the protocol
In EPIKUR the draft arrives exactly as you approved it: reviewed, shortened, pasted into the text field where you write anyway, after being copied into the practice software. The vendor describes EPIKUR for Mac, Windows and Linux and names psychotherapists as one of its target audiences — neither changes the pathway, but both change the questions to ask before a pilot.
Reviewed editorially against product behaviour and the stated primary sources; not individual medical or legal advice.
How the reviewed draft gets into EPIKUR
For e-therapie ONLINE, Epikur describes a protocol feature that can be written into either "via the keyboard or by hand using a stylus", with protocols "automatically synchronised with the digital patient record of your practice software" (accessed on 4 September 2026). For this field, the reviewed draft from KiPT Voice is simply typed text — pasted in rather than typed.
In psychotherapy in particular, the review step is not a formality. What is said in a session does not automatically belong in the record; the draft is therefore a suggestion from which you select before anything is carried over.
Who EPIKUR is built for
Epikur names "psychotherapists", physicians "of all specialties", child and adolescent psychiatrists as well as SPV practices and training institutes as target audiences, and describes the software as "practice management for Mac, Windows and Linux" (accessed on 4 September 2026).
For a psychotherapy practice, the session is long, recurring and dense — and the documentation is shorter than the conversation. A draft is only useful here if it can be quickly trimmed down to the little that belongs in the record.
What Epikur Software GmbH & Co. KG itself publishes
Epikur publishes "AI modules for EPIKUR e-therapie ONLINE" and describes them with the sentence: "Within seconds, the new AI modules for EPIKUR e-therapie ONLINE summarise your session protocols and answer questions about the course of therapy" (accessed on 4 September 2026). A statement on the processing location was not on the page reviewed.
The difference from KiPT Voice starts with the source material itself: the vendor's modules build on protocols that have already been written, while KiPT Voice starts from the spoken consultation. Both can exist side by side; the question of processing location applies separately to each.

What the practice should clarify before a pilot
The technical questions are quickly answered with this pathway. The questions that remain concern the workflow within the team — and they should be answered before the first real appointment, not after.
- Which operating system does EPIKUR run on for you — and does recording also happen there?
- Which text field does the reviewed draft get pasted into?
- How do you ensure that only the part that belongs in the record is carried over?
- What does the vendor state in writing about the processing location of its AI modules?
- How do you inform patients about the recording, and how do you document their consent?
Frequently asked questions
Does EPIKUR need an add-on module for KiPT Voice?
No. The reviewed draft is pasted into a text field after being copied into the practice software; nothing changes in EPIKUR itself.
Does KiPT Voice run on the same machine as EPIKUR?
Yes, on Windows 11 and on Macs with Apple chip. If EPIKUR runs under Linux for you, the recording needs a different device.
What distinguishes KiPT Voice from the vendor's AI modules?
According to the product page, the vendor's modules summarise existing session protocols. KiPT Voice starts from the spoken consultation and produces a draft from it, which you review and carry over yourself.
