Workflow

Complete pre-procedure verification, consent, and safety screening on the phone—reduce room time and improve patient experience

Interventional pain procedures require extensive pre-procedure verification: medication list, allergy review, fasting status, consent, and comorbidity screening. Capturing this on the phone before the patient arrives reduces chair time and ensures nothing is missed.

How it pays back

Your provider sees no surprises in the room

The AI asks all standard pre-procedure questions, captures answers, and flags any concerns. Your provider reviews the summary before the patient arrives and can focus on clinical judgment, not paperwork.

Patients don't repeat themselves

They answer medication, allergy, and history questions once—on the phone. The structured summary is provided to your team for review and filing. No redundant questions in the pre-op area.

Consent is documented from the call

The AI walks through consent language and documents the patient's understanding. Your provider confirms during pre-op; this is already in the record.

Fasting and prep instructions are confirmed

The AI verifies the patient understands fasting rules, medication timing, and arrival logistics. No last-minute cancellations due to patient confusion.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should the pre-procedure call happen?

Typically 24–72 hours before the scheduled procedure. Your practice sets the window; the AI can be triggered automatically when an appointment is booked or called by the patient directly.

What if the patient is on a medication that needs clarification?

The AI flags any medication the patient reports and notes it in the summary. Your provider or clinical team reviews before the procedure and can contact the patient or prescriber if needed.

Can the AI identify drug interactions?

No. The AI captures the medication list accurately and returns it as a summary. Your clinical team or provider reviews for interactions and flags anything that needs adjustment before the procedure.

What if the patient hasn't fasted properly?

The AI confirms fasting status during the pre-procedure call. If the patient reports not fasting, your team can contact them immediately to reschedule or get provider guidance. This prevents delays the morning of the procedure.

Does it ask about allergies to anesthesia?

Yes. The AI asks about any allergies, including specifically anesthetics, latex, iodine, or contrast agents. All responses are documented in the summary for the anesthesia team and provider to review.

How does consent work if the patient has questions?

The AI explains the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives in clear language. If the patient has detailed questions about anesthesia, recovery, or specific risks, the AI notes the question and escalates to your provider for a call.
