Migraine Care

Identify acute migraine escalations on first call and route to the right provider instantly

Migraine clinics need to distinguish urgent attacks from routine follow-ups in real time. Our AI listens for red flags—status migrainosus, medication overuse, neurological change—and escalates immediately while capturing structured intake.

How it pays back

Immediate escalation protocol

Red-flag symptoms trigger urgent routing within seconds. Status migrainosus and neurological change never sit in a voicemail queue.

Structured symptom capture

Call returns onset, duration, trigger, current meds, previous abortive response, and comorbidity history in a structured summary for your clinical review.

New vs. established workflow

AI recognizes established patient mid-attack and routes to their known provider; new patients go to intake queue with full clinical summary.

Prior-auth decision clarity

Structured call data—frequency, medication trial history, comorbidities—gives your billing team the facts needed for rapid insurance pre-authorization.

Red-flag escalation

Status migrainosus, thunderclap, focal deficit routed immediately

Symptom structure capture

Onset, duration, triggers, current meds, response history on every call

Established patient routing

Known patients recognized and directed to their preferred provider

EMR-ready summary

Clinician review and approval before chart entry

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know when a migraine call is truly urgent?

The system is trained on migraine clinical criteria: duration >72 hours (status migrainosus), sudden thunderclap onset, focal neurological deficit, fever with headache, or first-ever worst headache. Any of these triggers instant escalation. For established patients, it also flags new pattern breaks or previous emergency visits.

Does the AI diagnose migraine or just triage calls?

The AI does not diagnose. It listens for patient-reported symptoms and red flags, then captures them in a structured summary for your clinician to review. Diagnosis and medical decision-making remain with your provider.

Can it handle medication refill calls vs. acute attacks?

Yes. The AI quickly determines whether the caller is reporting a new attack, requesting a refill on an existing prescription, or asking about a previous visit. Refill calls route to your pharmacy or administrative queue; acute calls escalate per your protocol.

How does it work with our EMR for prior authorization?

The call summary is returned with symptom frequency, medication trials, treatment failure details, and comorbidities—all the data your billing team needs to file prior-auth quickly. Your EMR imports the new patient record and demographics; the clinical summary is provided as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for staff review and manual chart entry.

What if a patient calls after hours reporting their worst headache ever?

The AI recognizes 'worst headache ever' as a red flag for subarachnoid hemorrhage or other emergency and immediately routes the call to your on-call physician or triggers an emergency protocol, which may include local EMS dispatch guidance per your clinic policy.
