Patient Intake
Paper intake forms are slow, incomplete, and create data-entry work for staff. AI conducts intake during the inbound call, captures structured responses, and hands your staff a ready-to-review summary.
Intake is completed on the call before the patient arrives. They check in, verify insurance with front desk, and go straight to the clinical team.
Instead of typing from a form into the chart, staff reviews a structured AI summary, asks clarifying questions if needed, and approves it for filing.
AI asks for allergies, medications, and chief complaint in a conversational way. If a response is unclear, the AI asks again. Staff receives a complete, legible record.
During intake, the AI asks about symptoms and red flags. If a caller reports chest pain, difficulty breathing, or other urgent concerns, the AI alerts your on-call provider in real time.

Typically no. Since intake is completed on the phone, patients only verify or update information at check-in. Some practices use a one-page form at arrival for any changes or consent signatures, but the bulk of intake is already done.
The AI is conversational and fast—most callers complete intake in a few minutes. If a caller strongly prefers a form, they can be sent a web-based intake link via SMS or email. The AI intake option is not mandatory but is offered first.
AI intake can be configured for multiple languages. For hard-of-hearing callers, relay services and TTY options are available. Your practice can also opt for video-based intake or callback options if needed.
Yes. If an existing patient calls, the AI asks if any information has changed since their last visit. They can update medications, allergies, or reason for visit. The updated information is flagged for staff review.
No. Front desk still handles check-in, insurance verification, and payment. AI intake happens on the inbound call and provides front desk with a head start—they verify or update information rather than collect it from scratch.
