Jane App is a well-regarded practice-management tool. Karesta takes a different angle: it is an AI-enabled clinic operating system that runs clinical documentation (AI clinical notes) and patient retention (automated reminders, follow-up sequences and re-engaging unbooked patients) together in one EU-hosted platform, rather than treating a scribe as an add-on. Karesta is an EU-hosted, GDPR-native platform built in Ireland. For clinics in Ireland, the UK and the EU that need EU data residency and GDPR handled natively, Karesta is a natural fit; Jane App remains an excellent option for clinics that love its interface and are comfortable with its hosting.

Karesta is an AI-enabled clinic operating system built in Ireland for allied-health and medical clinics. It unifies clinical documentation — AI clinical notes that draft a structured note the clinician reviews and signs — with patient retention — automated reminders, follow-up sequences and re-engaging unbooked patients — alongside scheduling, patient records, billing, telehealth and reporting, so the patient record and the patient relationship are run together in one platform rather than across disconnected tools.
All patient data is stored in the EU — a Dublin datacenter with West Europe failover — under the jurisdiction of the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Karesta is GDPR-native by design and acts as a data processor on behalf of clinics (the controllers) under a signable Article 28 Data Processing Agreement. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II are both in process.
Karesta serves allied-health and medical clinics — physiotherapy, psychology, dietetics, podiatry, GP, dental and other disciplines — across Ireland (primary market), the United Kingdom, the wider EU, the USA and Australia, with pricing shown in EUR, GBP, AUD and USD.
