Patient Acquisition
Most new migraine intake questions build a history. A few exist to catch something else entirely. This covers the red-flag screen on a new patient call, what the AI asks, what it does not decide, and how an atypical answer reaches your team before the patient arrives.
The red-flag questions exist so a person sees the answer sooner. The AI asks about sudden worst headache ever, fever, neck stiffness, focal neurological symptoms and recent head injury, and hands what it hears to your team. No clinical conclusion is drawn on the call.
If intake reveals sudden onset or atypical features, your team can alert the provider or modify the visit protocol, for example checking for secondary causes, before the appointment begins rather than discovering it in the room.
Screening runs alongside a full migraine timeline: age of onset, frequency, duration, severity pattern, prior diagnoses, triggers and prior treatment responses. The first visit can then focus on examination and therapy planning.
When a patient cannot date their onset precisely, what they do recall is captured along with the fact that it is approximate. A screen is only useful if what it records is honest about its own confidence.

Sudden worst headache ever, fever, neck stiffness, focal neurological symptoms and recent head injury. These are asked directly as part of the new patient intake.
The finding is surfaced to your team before the appointment. Your staff can alert the provider or modify the visit protocol, for instance to check for secondary causes. The AI does not make that call itself.
No. It captures history, triggers, medications and screening answers, and returns them as a structured summary. Every clinical interpretation belongs to your provider.
The AI captures what they do recall, such as sometime in my twenties or a few years ago, and notes the uncertainty in the summary so your provider can clarify at the first visit or request prior records.
It covers current acute and preventive treatments, what has been tried before, side effects and allergies, asking about common acute classes such as triptans, NSAIDs and ergots and preventive classes such as beta-blockers, anticonvulsants and CGRP antagonists. Detailed medication chemistry is left to the provider.
