Workflow
Interventional pain procedures require detailed medication history (anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, NSAIDs, steroids) and allergy screening before any block or injection. An AI receptionist captures this during intake, surfaces critical drug interactions, and returns a structured summary for your provider to review before the procedure date.
A patient on warfarin or dabigatran presenting for a facet block needs pre-procedure coagulation labs and possible medication hold. The AI identifies anticoagulation status during intake, and your staff coordinates labs and instructions before the procedure date.
Some patients report 'steroid allergies' that are actually reactions to the vehicle, preservative, or local anesthetic—not the steroid itself. The AI captures the specific reaction (rash, anaphylaxis, nausea) so your provider can make an informed drug choice.
Patients on chronic oral steroids or frequent steroid injections have reduced immune response. The AI captures steroid dose and frequency, alerting your provider to adjust antibiotic or infection-prevention protocols.
All medication and allergy data is captured during intake and returned as a structured checklist. Your provider reviews it before the procedure, reducing the chance of a missed critical contraindication or allergy.

Captured during intake and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for staff review and filing
The AI is trained to recognize high-risk medications: anticoagulants (warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran), antiplatelet agents (clopidogrel, ticagrelor), NSAIDs, and high-dose corticosteroids. When it identifies these, it flags them for your provider to review. Your provider's protocol determines whether a hold is needed.
The AI asks follow-up questions: 'What happened when you took that medication?' If a patient says 'rash' vs. 'difficulty breathing' vs. 'nausea,' the AI captures the specific reaction. Your provider uses this detail to determine true allergy vs. side effect vs. intolerance.
The AI documents all pain medications: opioids, anticonvulsants (gabapentin, pregabalin), muscle relaxants, NSAIDs, and any others. This complete list helps your provider understand the patient's pain trajectory and adjust procedure planning if needed.
The AI captures medication history but does not perform pharmacological interaction checking. That's your provider's role. The AI's structured summary makes it easy for your provider to review all medications at once and identify interactions with the planned block or injection.
Your staff reviews the intake summary with the patient the day before the procedure (standard pre-procedure call). Any medication changes are noted and communicated to the provider. The AI's intake creates a snapshot; your staff confirms current medications closer to the procedure date.
