Data Engineers discuss AI

Dedimo wanted to explore how AI could help automatically transcribe therapy sessions between client and therapist and generate reports.

To achieve this, they enlisted our help, and together we started an AI proof of concept using LLMs (Large Language Models), publicly known as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Azure OpenAI. The goal: reduce administrative burdens and increase focus on clients.

Dedimo asked us to develop their initial idea into a functional prototype that would be safe, scalable, and usable in everyday practice. Afterward, we could implement the prototype into their platform, ADHDcentraal. As we had already been their Data & AI partner for some time, we were able to provide immediate support.

Approach

We began with discussions to determine what the solution should look like. Dedimo had some examples; we helped translate them into a clear, actionable approach. The core: a system that helps therapists generate reports while keeping them fully in control.

We worked alongside Dedimo’s partner, Zooma, during this process. We were responsible for the backend, transcription, and report generation, while Zooma developed the frontend in close collaboration with Dedimo.

Phase 1 – Building a prototype

In collaboration with Zooma, we developed a standalone application to test the concept, with client privacy at the forefront from day one. Through our implementation, conversations are automatically transcribed and then converted into reports. We consciously chose Microsoft Azure’s speech service to ensure all data remains within Dedimo’s own secure cloud environment. Additionally, it’s guaranteed that this data is not used to train models. Using sample recordings, we successfully tested the entire process, and the results formed the foundation for moving forward to phase 2.

Phase 2 – Integration into Dedimo’s existing platform

Dedimo decided to integrate the prototype directly into their platform, ADHDcentraal. Therefore, we placed our standalone application into their existing environment so it could be used for real client conversations.

Phase 3 – Monitoring and further development of LLM models

Because we work with LLMs, effective monitoring is crucial. LLMs can make mistakes, which need to be corrected by humans. Therefore, we embedded features in the application that allow Dedimo to verify whether reports are accurate and whether models need adjustments. This ensures high quality, even when models change due to updates from Microsoft, OpenAI (ChatGPT), or Google (Gemini).

Thanks to this approach, Dedimo can:

  1. Monitor the quality of reports
  2. Continuously improve LLM texts, prompts, and models
  3. Quickly detect anomalies
  4. Meet the need for a human-in-the-loop process (where humans review, assess, and guide LLM decisions).

By constantly monitoring and improving, the LLM conversation reporting remains reliable and future-proof.

Result

The solution is now fully integrated and being tested in real practice. Recent test conversations already show how much time therapists can save.

The biggest benefits of this implementation:

  • Time savings: Therapists save time as they no longer need to manually write summaries after sessions.
  • Overview: During the session, the LLM processes the client’s responses, allowing the therapist to see which questions remain open and which have been addressed.
  • Control and flexibility: The LLM generates a complete final report, which the therapist can adjust or fine-tune by giving instructions to the LLM.
  • More attention to clients: By reducing administrative work, therapists have more time to help additional clients or focus on other aspects of care.

Because sensitive data is involved, human oversight remains crucial. The process is deliberately not fully automated.

Furthermore, it’s important (and Dedimo attests this): this is not a “set and forget” solution. LLM transcription and reporting require ongoing attention, especially when models change or receive updates.

Future

After our implementation, we fully transferred the solution to Dedimo’s team. We carefully handed over the project, ensuring the team could independently monitor, manage, and further develop the LLM conversation reporting. As a result, Dedimo is now capable of taking full responsibility for the ongoing development of the solution.

Implementing a data platform

Based on our know-how, the purpose of this blog is to transmit our knowledge and experience to the community by describing guidelines for implementing a data platform in an organisation. We understand that the specific needs of every organisation are different, that they will have an impact on the technologies used and that a single architecture satisfying all of them makes no sense. So, in this blog we will keep it as general as we can.

Central data storage with a new data infrastructure

Dedimo is a collaboration of five mental healthcare initiatives. In order to continuously enhance the quality of their care, they organize internal processes more efficiently. Therefore, they use perceptions from the data that is internally available. Previously, they acquired the data themselves from different source systems with ad hoc scripts. They requested our help to make this process more robust, efficient and to further professionalise it. They asked us to facilitate the central storage of their data, located in a cloud data warehouse. The goal was to set up the data infrastructure within this environment, since they were already used to working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Digital transformation and better internal collaboration thanks to insight into offline and online data.

Publisher Malmberg collects a lot of offline and online data. More and more educational institutions are using online licenses in addition to (or instead of) printed teaching materials. To properly make use of this, Malmberg uses monthly reports. The in-house data team compiles these as input for specific departments. Malmberg asked us to strengthen this team and make the internal processes around data more efficient.
