Mental Health
Mental health practices face high no-show rates and difficulty re-engaging patients who have lapsed or become inactive. An AI receptionist automates intelligent reminders, reactivation outreach, and waitlist backfill to keep your therapeutic panel stable.
Automated voice and text reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before an appointment reduce no-shows. The AI can mention the therapist by name and ask the patient to confirm or reschedule in real time.
Patients inactive for 6+ months receive a friendly, non-intrusive call from the practice offering to schedule them back. The AI captures their availability and returns a list for staff to book. No clinician has to spend time on outreach calls.
When a patient cancels, the AI immediately calls the next person on the waitlist to fill the slot. This prevents revenue loss and reduces wasted clinician chair time.
Messaging is warm, non-judgmental, and HIPAA-compliant. The AI never discusses clinical content or therapy notes—only logistics and scheduling.

The reminder is friendly and optional: 'Hi, this is [Practice Name]. We have your session with [Therapist] tomorrow at 2 PM. Press 1 to confirm, 2 to reschedule, or 3 to speak with someone.' The tone can be customized to be warm and supportive, and patients always have the option to speak to a human.
Yes. You configure the reactivation rules: call patients inactive for 6 months, 12 months, or 24 months. The AI delivers a non-judgmental message: 'We've missed you. We'd love to help you reconnect with [Therapist]. Would you like to schedule a session?' If the patient says yes, the AI captures their availability and returns it to staff to book.
The AI logs the cancellation and returns it to staff. If you have a waitlist, the AI automatically calls the next person. You can also configure the AI to ask the canceling patient if they'd like to reschedule for a different time.
Yes. Reminders and reactivation calls do not contain clinical information. The AI captures appointment confirmation or cancellation reason as plain text. Your EHR link is encrypted; call logs are retained per your policy.
