Safety
An AI receptionist answers every Fresno patient call and listens for urgent keywords (chest pain, severe bleeding, psychiatric crisis, high fever). When detected, it immediately alerts your clinical team or advises the caller to dial 911.
A Fresno patient calling with chest pain or severe bleeding reaches your team immediately, not voicemail. The AI detects urgency and escalates in real time. Your clinical staff know about the emergency and can advise or route to 911.
An after-hours caller with a psychiatric crisis, high fever, or injury reaches a live agent who escalates to your on-call provider immediately. No delay waiting for office hours or navigating an automated menu.
When an urgent call is escalated to your Fresno team, they receive the caller's name, phone number, and the AI's summary of why it was flagged urgent. They answer prepared and can respond faster.
AI escalation creates a clear audit trail — when the urgent call arrived, what symptoms triggered it, and how your team responded. Fresno practices can document and defend their emergency protocols.

Your practice defines the urgent keywords. Common examples: chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, suicidal thoughts, signs of stroke, high fever in a child, or trauma. The AI listens during the call and escalates immediately when a caller mentions these keywords. You customize the list to match your clinical protocols.
When an urgent call is detected, the AI sends a real-time alert to your staff (SMS, in-app, or phone transfer, per your setup). Your team receives the caller's name, phone, and chief complaint and can answer immediately. For life-threatening emergencies, the AI can advise the caller to dial 911.
No. For life-threatening emergencies, the AI recommends the caller dial 911 immediately. The AI's job is to detect urgency and alert your on-call team so they can coordinate care. Your staff and 911 operate in parallel.
