Frequently asked questions

How does the AI handle sleep study scheduling?

The system recognizes sleep study appointment requests, confirms patient eligibility, sends pre-visit instructions (fasting, medication hold, equipment info), and flags urgent symptoms for clinical review. It reduces scheduling errors and patient confusion.

Can the AI help with CPAP compliance follow-up?

Yes. The system can initiate follow-up calls to CPAP users to check device usage, report data, and answer common troubleshooting questions. It identifies patients at risk of therapy abandonment and escalates to clinical staff.

What happens if a patient calls with a breathing emergency?

The AI detects keywords indicating respiratory distress or severe sleep apnea symptoms and immediately escalates to an on-call clinician or emergency protocol. It does not delay urgent cases with standard intake.

Does it integrate with sleep medicine EMRs?

The AI integrates with major EMR systems including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. It can pull patient history and populate appointment data without manual entry. Integration timelines vary by EMR.

How is patient sleep data handled securely?

All sleep health information is encrypted, access-logged, and compliant with HIPAA and state sleep medicine privacy regulations. Data is never stored on public servers and integrates only with your practice's secure infrastructure.

Can the AI manage multiple sleep locations?

Yes. If your practice operates diagnostic centers, titration labs, or home sleep apnea test programs across locations, the system coordinates scheduling and routing across all sites from a single dashboard.
