Workflow
Patients call after interventions with pain levels, medication questions, and symptom concerns. An AI receptionist fields these calls, flags true complications for urgent review, and routes routine follow-ups to nursing.

Routine post-procedure calls are handled by the AI. Only true emergencies—fever, severe swelling, loss of function—interrupt clinical staff at night.
Pain patients report symptoms hours after a procedure. The AI asks screening questions and flags risks before they become emergencies.
Patients feel heard and cared for. The AI explains expected recovery, validates pain concerns, and confirms when to seek help—all without delay.
Pain requests for post-procedure opioids or muscle relaxants are captured with context and handed to your medical team for approval or denial.
Post-procedure calls answered
Every patient follow-up call answered by trained AI, not voicemail
Complications escalated
Fever, severe swelling, and infection signs routed live to on-call doctor
Recovery milestones tracked
Pain level, activity tolerance, and medication response captured as structured summary for staff review and chart filing
On-call overhead reduced
Nighttime and weekend calls filtered; only emergencies reach clinical staff
Routine questions like 'When can I drive?', 'Is mild swelling normal?', 'How often do I take my pain medication?', 'When should I ice vs. heat?'. The AI follows your post-intervention protocols and explains recovery expectations.
The AI asks about fever, severe swelling, spreading numbness, inability to move the treated area, chest pain, and signs of infection. Any red flags trigger an immediate notification to your on-call doctor.
The AI captures the refill request, current pain level, and reason as a structured summary. That goes to your doctor or nurse practitioner for review and approval. They control all medication decisions.
The AI can transfer the call to an on-call nurse or doctor, or schedule a callback with your clinical team. The patient's pain history and symptoms are already documented.
Instead of every after-hours call waking the on-call doctor, only true emergencies do. Routine follow-ups are handled by the AI, freeing your team to sleep and rest between actual clinical issues.
