Specialty Care

AI receptionist designed for chronic fatigue syndrome clinics and ME/CFS specialists

Capture all incoming calls for chronic fatigue care, route urgent symptom reports, and schedule new patient intake without missing referrals or follow-up requests.

How it pays back

No missed referrals or urgent symptom reports

Chronic fatigue patients often space calls weeks apart due to energy limits. Each call is answered, recorded, and triaged so referrals from PCP or specialists don't go dark, and flares are caught early.

Better intake on the first contact

Capture onset, triggers, functional baseline, comorbidities, and medication sensitivities during the call. The AI asks clinically relevant questions for ME/CFS and returns a structured summary your staff reviews and files.

Reduced call burden on limited staff

Many ME/CFS practices are small, understaffed, or run by patient-advocate clinicians. AI handles routine scheduling, new patient capture, and appointment reminders so your team stays focused on clinical work.

Appropriate escalation of crash or symptom events

Calls mentioning severe deterioration, orthostatic collapse, new neurological symptoms, or medication reaction are flagged and sent to a provider immediately, not queued for callback.

Every call answered

Day or night, no voicemail dead ends

Urgent calls escalated

Crash events, new onset symptoms, reactions routed to provider

Structured intake captured

Onset, triggers, functional status, comorbidities, sensitivities returned as EMR-ready summary

New patient demographics and appointment created

Name, DOB, phone, initial appointment booked in your EMR

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a patient calls during a crash and cannot speak long?

The AI recognizes short, urgent calls and does not force a full intake. It captures the core issue (crash event, new symptom, medication concern), logs the urgency flag, and escalates to your staff for follow-up. The patient is not taxed during a flare.

How does the AI handle medication and supplement sensitivities unique to ME/CFS?

During intake, the AI asks about known sensitivities, adverse reactions to common drugs, and supplements the patient has tried. This information is captured in the structured summary and flagged for your clinician to review before any prescription or recommendation.

Can the AI route calls based on patient functional capacity?

Yes. If a patient has a recorded preference for written communication, or a note that phone calls should be brief, the AI can offer a call-back at a set time, send an intake form link, or schedule a brief triage window so the patient controls energy expenditure.

Does the AI understand post-exertional malaise and related terminology?

Yes. The AI is trained to recognize PEM, crashes, boom-bust cycles, and functional limitations typical to ME/CFS. When a patient describes these patterns, the system logs them accurately and flags for clinical review.

How is patient data stored and secured for a regulated condition?

All call recordings and patient intake data are HIPAA-aligned with BAA included. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, stored in HIPAA-aligned infrastructure, and never shared with third parties. Your staff controls all access.

Can we use this for referral tracking and follow-up?

Yes. When an incoming call is from a PCP or specialist referral, the AI captures the referring provider and diagnosis code. The system logs the call, and your team can track which referrals have been scheduled, need follow-up, or were lost.
