Important Compliance Disclosures
HIPAA Status
Menthra is HIPAA-aligned. We implement HIPAA administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for health-related data. Menthra Inc. is a technology company, not a licensed healthcare provider or HIPAA covered entity. We are not HIPAA certified and do not hold any formal HIPAA certification from any certifying body (no such official certification exists). Our HIPAA alignment is documented through our security program, BAAs with applicable vendors, and internal policies.
AI Emotional Wellbeing Tools
The Platform's AI companion features are wellness support tools. They are not FDA-regulated medical devices under current guidance. Menthra monitors FDA digital health guidance and will adapt Platform features to maintain compliance with any applicable FDA requirements. The AI companions do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
Clinical Services
Licensed therapy services on the Platform are provided by independent licensed professionals, not by Menthra Inc. Menthra facilitates access to these professionals but does not employ them or supervise their clinical practice.
