Workflow
Patients with acute pain flares or post-injection complications need immediate attention, not a voicemail callback queue. An AI receptionist recognizes red flags, escalates the call to your on-call provider in real time, and captures everything for your team to review and file.
Instead of a cryptic voicemail, your doctor receives a structured summary: pain location, severity, onset time, medications tried, and any red flags. They can triage faster and make better clinical decisions.
An immediate response from the AI—and escalation to the doctor—signals that their urgent pain is taken seriously. No waiting for a callback. No cycling through voicemail.
Swelling, infection signs, unexpected bleeding, or neurological changes are flagged during intake. Your clinical team can intervene before a patient ends up in the ED unnecessarily.
By filtering routine calls from true emergencies, the AI reduces overnight call noise. Doctors only wake up for actual urgent cases.

Urgent flares handled at 2 AM or Sunday morning, not queued until Monday
The AI is trained on common urgent presentations in interventional pain: acute flare (pain spike after procedure), new numbness or weakness, severe swelling, signs of infection (fever, spreading redness), severe bleeding, or neurological changes. When these patterns appear, escalation is triggered immediately.
The AI captures that context. If a patient mentions they are at the ER or have already called EMS, the escalation is still triggered to your provider so your team knows what happened and can coordinate care if needed.
Yes—urgent calls trigger an immediate alert to the on-call provider (phone call, SMS, or in-app notification depending on your preference). Routine calls go to the answering queue for the next business day. This ensures only true urgent cases interrupt sleep.
The AI's structured summary is captured during the call and returned to your team as a timestamped, EMR-pasteable note. Your provider can review it, add clinical documentation, and file it in the patient's chart for continuity. If the patient later books an in-office follow-up, the urgent call context is already available for reference.
The AI asks about timing, severity, what's been tried, and comparisons to expected recovery. A patient saying 'I have more pain than the doctor said to expect' or 'this started suddenly overnight' triggers a different response than 'mild soreness 3 days post-injection.' Your team can train the AI on your specific protocols.
