Call Intake

AI-captured migraine intake on first call—onset, severity, triggers, medication history, structured for instant clinician review

Phone calls to migraine clinics are chaotic: patients call mid-attack, staff scramble to document, and critical details get missed. AI captures the full intake on the call and returns structured data ready for clinician review.

How it pays back

No lost details in triage handoff

When a patient calls mid-migraine, your front desk can't write fast enough. AI captures every detail while the patient is still on the line. Clinician gets full context in seconds.

Consistent, complete intake every time

Phone intake is often incomplete—staff skip sections, forget to ask about triggers, miss prior treatment history. AI follows the same protocol on every call, so no data falls through the cracks.

Clinicians see the summary, not a transcript

Raw transcripts waste time. AI returns structured data: Chief Complaint, Onset, Severity, Associated Symptoms, Red Flags, Medication History, Triggers. Clinician reviews in 30 seconds, not 5 minutes.

Early escalation of warning signs

AI flags red flags in real time during the call—thunderclap, fever, stiff neck, weakness—so urgent cases are routed immediately, not queued for a clinician to discover later.

Full migraine history on one call

Onset, severity, triggers, prior treatments, and medication history captured without repeat questions

Clinician-ready summary format

Structured intake returned as pasteable data, not raw transcript

Red-flag detection in real time

Warning symptoms identified during call and flagged for immediate escalation

No front desk overload

AI handles note-taking so staff can focus on routing and scheduling

Frequently asked questions

What if the patient is in severe pain and can't answer detailed questions?

The AI detects distress or confusion and shortens the intake. It prioritizes the essentials—onset, severity, red flags—and books urgent care. Once the patient sees the clinician, the clinician can expand the history. AI doesn't make pain patients suffer through a long intake; it captures enough to triage and route.

How is the structured intake format different from a transcript?

A transcript is a word-for-word record of the call. Structured intake organizes the information into clinical fields: Chief Complaint, Onset, Severity (1–10), Associated Symptoms, Red Flags, Current Medications, Triggers, Prior Treatments. Your clinician doesn't read 300 words; they scan 8 bullet points.

Can the AI ask about preventive vs. acute medication?

Yes. The AI understands the distinction and asks separately: 'What preventive medications are you taking regularly?' and 'What did you take today to stop this headache?' This helps clinicians see if the patient is on a regimen, tried abortives, and may need escalation to infusion or injection therapy.

Does the AI know about migraine types (chronic migraine, chronic tension-type, etc.)?

The AI is configured to your clinic's patient population and referral patterns. It can ask about attack frequency to differentiate episodic from chronic migraine, and about aura to guide workup. Your clinicians set the intake protocol, and AI follows it on every call.

What happens if a patient repeats information they already gave to staff?

If the patient has an existing chart and you've integrated with your EMR, the AI can pull prior visit summaries and ask only about changes: 'Since your last visit 3 months ago, have you started any new medications or noticed different triggers?' This speeds intake and reduces patient frustration.
