Clinical Workflow
Migraine patients with acute onset or status migraine calling for help should reach urgent care, not sit in a callback queue. AI-powered symptom assessment triggers automatic routing to same-day urgent slots, eliminating staff triage delay.
A patient with sudden-onset severe migraine, aura, or status migraine does not wait for staff to listen to a voicemail or triage call. The AI assesses in real time and offers same-day urgent slots or escalates to on-call provider immediately.
The AI asks about secondary headache warning signs (new type of headache, vision loss, weakness, altered speech, high fever with neck stiffness). If detected, the system escalates to provider callback or offers ER guidance instead of routine appointment.
When a migraine patient is routed to an urgent slot, your clinician receives a structured summary: onset, severity, current symptoms, medications already taken, and time of last dose. This accelerates urgent assessment and treatment.
During high-volume periods (cluster migraines, seasonal triggers, medication shortages), acute calls are auto-triaged and slotted. Staff handle only complex escalations or clinical decision-making, not call volume.

After-hours escalation
Acute calls during nights and weekends go to on-call provider callback, not voicemail queue
The AI asks about onset (sudden vs. gradual), intensity (mild, moderate, severe), presence of aura, whether medications have been tried, and any red-flag symptoms (vision changes, weakness, altered speech, neck stiffness, high fever). Sudden onset + severe + aura, or any red flags, triggers urgent routing.
Urgent escalation = acute migraine that needs same-day treatment. Red-flag escalation = symptoms suggesting a secondary headache (infection, stroke, bleed, etc.) that need ER or immediate provider callback, not routine urgent care.
It depends on your clinic's protocol. The AI can offer same-day urgent appointment slots first. If none are available, or if the call is after-hours, the system escalates to on-call provider for immediate callback and guidance (treatment advice, ER direction, etc.).
The AI asks screening questions (typical migraine symptoms, presence of aura, photophobia/phonophobia, nausea) to assess likelihood of migraine vs. other headache. It does not diagnose, but it helps route to appropriate urgency and clinical context.
Yes. The AI asks what abortive medication (if any) the patient has already taken, how much, and when. This information is included in the call summary for your clinician to review and guides treatment decisions (e.g., if triptans already used, consider different abortive or infusion).
Your clinic can review acute event patterns: frequency, time of day, triggers mentioned, medication used, and outcomes. This informs preventive strategy (e.g., if acute migraines cluster on certain days or seasons, preventive therapy can be adjusted).
