EMR & Practice Management Software for Occupational Therapists in Canada
The all-in-one EMR built for Canadian OTs — PIPEDA & Loi 25 compliant, bilingual (FR/EN) and hosted in Canada. Online booking, AI clinical notes, secure patient messaging, telehealth, invoices and insurance receipts -- one platform for solo, mobile and multi-practitioner OT clinics. Save hours of admin every week and reinvest that time in client care, home assessments and functional interventions. Let clients book sessions any time with our online booking software.
Stop Juggling Tools That Weren’t Built for Occupational Therapy
Most Canadian OTs we onboard arrive with the same setup: a separate booking tool, a generic note template, a billing spreadsheet, and a third-party video app for telehealth. Colib brings it all together in one OT-focused platform — from intake and functional assessment to discharge.

-Insurance receipts for extended health plans : Insurance receipts with your name, registration number and profession, ready for clients to submit to their insurer.
-Home programs delivered through the portal : Share exercise programs, activity guides and equipment recommendations securely, and let caregivers send back questions and photos.
-Records your college can inspect : Dated entries, preserved history and access logs align with COTO, OEQ, ACOT and CHCPBC record-keeping expectations.
