Workflow
AI receptionist answers weekend and evening foot and ankle calls, triages injury severity, confirms follow-up needs, and escalates to on-call providers.
Ankle sprains, stress fractures, and post-op pain concerns are answered immediately on nights and weekends. Staff are only alerted for actual urgent cases.
Whether it is Monday morning or 2 AM Saturday, the AI applies the same weight-bearing and symptom assessment to determine if the call needs immediate attention.
Your clinician receives a clear summary of injury mechanism, current symptoms, and relevant history—not a fragmented voicemail.
Patients with minor sprains get reassurance and follow-up booking; patients with fracture risk or post-op complications get escalated appropriately.

The AI answers, asks about injury (sudden twist, fall, gradual swelling), pain level, ability to walk, and any prior ankle problems. If there are fracture risk factors or severe swelling, the call is escalated to your on-call provider. Otherwise, the patient is offered first-thing-Monday urgent booking or instructed when to seek ER care.
The AI is configured to recognize red flags like inability to bear any weight, severe deformity, numbness, or signs of circulation loss, and recommends immediate ER evaluation. The system never diagnoses, but it screens for clear urgency.
Post-op calls are asked about pain level compared to baseline, fever, wound discharge, and medication compliance. Your protocol determines whether post-op patients get provider callback or ER referral based on those answers.
The AI documents the call and offers to book the patient into the first urgent or routine appointment slot available. A structured summary goes to your on-call clinician and day staff. No patient is left hanging.
