Four principles guide every decision
A human in the loop, always
Thea drafts and prepares, but a clinician reviews and signs every clinical action. AI is a capable assistant, never the decision-maker.
Mobile-first, like real care

Calm by default
No alarm fatigue, no clutter. Zenthea is quiet, warm, and gets out of the way. Software that lowers the temperature of the day.
