Migraine Care

Confirm appointments and check preventive medication adherence before migraine follow-ups

Proactively reach out to migraine patients before appointments to confirm attendance, verify preventive medication compliance, and capture any new or worsening symptoms. Reduce no-shows and prepare clinicians for follow-up visits.

How it pays back

Reduced no-shows for migraine follow-ups

Confirmed appointments with context (adherence status, symptom updates) help reduce missed visits and prepare patients for the appointment.

Preventive medication adherence tracked

System captures whether patients are taking prescribed preventive medications consistently. Adherence issues are flagged before the appointment so providers can address barriers.

New symptom patterns detected before visit

Interval changes—increased frequency, new triggers, medication side effects, or escalating severity—are documented and available to the provider before the follow-up.

Chair time focused on treatment optimization

Provider knows adherence status and interval changes ahead of time, allowing more time for adjusting preventive medications or addressing barriers rather than repeating history.

Preventive medication adherence captured

Compliance, tolerability, and side effect monitoring before follow-up

Interval symptom changes documented

New triggers, worsening patterns, or treatment failures flagged for provider

No-show rates reduced

Confirmed attendance and proactive rescheduling of cancellations

Frequently asked questions

When should the confirmation call or message be sent?

The system typically reaches out 24–48 hours before the scheduled appointment. Timing can be customized based on your clinic's preference (e.g., same-day confirmation for urgent migraine slots).

What should the AI ask about preventive medication adherence?

The system asks whether the patient is taking their preventive medication (e.g., topiramate, propranolol, CGRP inhibitor) as prescribed, any side effects experienced, and whether they believe it is helping. If not taking it, the AI gathers reasons (side effects, cost, forgot, doesn't help).

What new symptoms should trigger a flag in the provider note?

Any significant change since the last visit: increased migraine frequency, change in pain location or character, new aura patterns, new associated symptoms (vision changes, weakness), medication side effects, or breakthrough migraines despite preventive therapy.

How are no-shows handled if the patient misses the confirmation?

The system can send a follow-up reminder via SMS or phone call on the morning of the appointment. If the patient reports they need to cancel, the AI offers to rebook them into available slots.

Does this data get documented for the chart?

Confirmation status, adherence responses, and any symptom or medication updates are captured and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. This context is available to the provider before the visit.
