About LIA

LIA (Lightning Intelligent Assistant) is Lightning Step's AI-powered progress note feature that uses natural language processing to automatically generate customized progress notes for behavioral health clinicians. The ISO 42001-certified feature automates documentation using predefined templates for consistency and accuracy, transcribes video sessions into SOAP-style clinical notes, and reduces documentation time by 50-60%. Praesum Healthcare expanded LIA from 100 to over 300 clinicians, reporting 45,000+ hours saved annually - equivalent to 22 full-time employees. Lightning Step merged with Sunwave Health in October 2025 under BVP Forge investment, creating a combined behavioral health technology platform.
