Every psychological expert report starts the same way: hours of exploration interviews, pages of handwritten notes, and then the slow, painful process of turning it all into a structured, court-ready document. Classifications looked up in books. Text blocks copy-pasted from old files. The same sentences rewritten for the hundredth time.
Johannes knew this pain firsthand — as a student assistant at a psychological practice, he spent his days doing exactly that. His first fix was a personal Excel tool. Then he thought: what if this could work for everyone?
That idea became mindocu — a Würzburg-based startup building AI-powered software specifically for psychologists and expert witnesses who create psychological and psychosocial reports. Their solution transcribes exploration interviews automatically, organizes recurring text blocks, and supports the formulation of structured, high-quality reports. Fully DSGVO-compliant, developed in Germany, data stays where it belongs.
But building AI for one of the most sensitive domains imaginable — reports that influence custody decisions, criminal verdicts, and people's lives — is anything but straightforward. How do you earn the trust of expert witnesses who carry enormous professional responsibility? How do you design a product that genuinely supports judgment without replacing it? And how do you go from a frustrated student's Excel sheet to a fundable, scalable startup?
Meet the mindocu team, with Anna Manger, Johannes Störlein & Oliver Gawron at our StartUp-Event — where they'll share the challenges and learnings of turning a real pain point into a real product..
After the presentation, we will discuss the topic within our interdisciplinary health hacker community!
