No child should fall through the gaps
Head Clear was born from a simple belief: no child should fall through the gaps between home, school, and the clinic — and no parent should have to hold it all alone.
The doctor, the parent, and the teacher are all trying to help the same child — and almost never see the same child. Head Clear closes that gap.

Our Mission
To keep the doctor, the parent, and the teacher around a child working from one shared picture — so support doesn't depend on who remembered to pass a message along.
The child comes first
Every decision starts with one question: does this help the adults around this child support them better?
Logging has to be quick
A parent at the end of a hard day, or a teacher between lessons, has seconds — not minutes. If it isn't quick, it doesn't get recorded.
Only what you choose to share
A teacher sees school entries. A school nurse only records medication. A doctor only sees the report you send them.
Built with real families
Parents, teachers, and school nurses shape what gets built next, because they are the ones living it.
Our Story
How the DPT method — Doctor, Parent, Teacher — became an app.
The pattern
Working with families and schools, Dr. Mens keeps meeting the same problem: the doctor, the parent, and the teacher each hold a piece of the child, and nobody holds the whole.
The DPT method
The Focus Lab shapes a simple loop — log what actually happens at home and at school, and bring it to the appointment as evidence instead of memory.
The build
Head Clear is built around that loop: quick daily logging, one shared thread for the care team, and reports a doctor can read in two minutes.
In families' hands
Parents start using Head Clear with their child's teacher and school nurse, and bringing real records to appointments.
Who We Serve
Head Clear is built for the three people around a child who need to be looking at the same thing.
Parents and guardians
You're holding the whole picture in your head and repeating it at every appointment. Head Clear holds it for you.
Teachers and school nurses
Log what you see in seconds, and share it only with the family who invited you. No extra system to learn.
Doctors and clinicians
No account, no login. Open a secure link and read weeks of real home and school records before the visit.
"Parents shouldn't have to be the filing system for their own child's care. That's what we built instead."
— Dr. Michael K. Mens

Add your child, log your first day, and invite their teacher when you're ready.
