Safety & Triage
AI listens for urgent language on every call and instantly escalates to on-call staff. No urgent case waits in queue or is missed.
Traditional voicemail and phone trees miss urgent cases. AI answers every call and triages in real time.
On-call staff is notified immediately—not after they check voicemail in the morning.
Every call is logged with receipt time, urgency detection, and escalation. Defensible record for compliance and malpractice risk.
Urgent cases get to a provider quickly. Non-urgent cases are handled efficiently. Everyone wins.

The AI listens for key phrases and clinical language: 'can't breathe', 'chest pain', 'allergic reaction', 'severe bleeding', 'suicidal', etc. When detected, the call is immediately flagged and escalated to on-call staff. Your practice can customize the urgency keywords during setup.
The on-call provider receives an SMS alert and phone notification with the caller's name and chief complaint. The call is transferred to the provider or routed to an ED/urgent care based on your protocol. An audit log records the receipt time, urgency flag, and escalation.
After a configurable timeout, the system can try a second on-call number, send the call to an answering service, or provide the patient with ED directions. Your practice sets the fallback protocol.
