Workflow
AI receptionist listens for migraine red flags—thunderclap, fever with headache, vision loss—and escalates immediately. Structured intake prepares your on-call provider before the call.
Patients in severe pain may call at 2 a.m.; AI screens for stroke-like symptoms, meningitis signs, and uncontrolled status migrainosus. Minor attacks route to morning clinic; emergencies page the provider.
On-call physician receives structured data (symptoms, med history, prior episodes) before the call, enabling faster decision-making and reducing repeat questioning of a patient in distress.
Provider can assess urgency with full context and talk down appropriate patients; those needing imaging or IV care are routed fast with documentation in hand.
False-alarm or clarification calls are fielded by AI first. Provider only woken for genuine emergencies or specific clinical questions that require MD judgment.
Red-flag detection
Thunderclap, meningeal signs, visual loss, focal weakness identified on intake
Immediate escalation
No callback queue; urgent calls page on-call provider in real time
Pre-call briefing
Provider receives structured intake summary before picking up
EMR-ready documentation
Chief complaint and intake captured as structured summary for provider review and filing
Within seconds of detecting a red flag (e.g., 'worst headache of my life,' fever, vision changes), the AI pages your on-call provider. The patient either holds for callback or hangs up knowing an MD is being notified.
The AI can repeat pages according to your protocol (e.g., call, text, alarm), hold the patient with reassurance, and document the escalation attempt. You define the fallback (ED transfer, nurse hotline, etc.).
The AI is trained to listen for specific red-flag phrases and medical descriptors—not every severe pain report. Severe but typical migraine (migraine aura, unilateral throbbing) does not trigger page; thunderclap or neurological deficit does.
No. The AI is trained to recognize *red-flag symptoms* that *might* indicate stroke or other emergency: sudden onset, visual loss, weakness, speech difficulty, confusion. The provider or ED team makes the diagnosis. AI flags and routes; it does not diagnose.
AI captures the call, symptoms, meds, and escalation flag. This structured summary is returned for provider review and filing. The on-call provider can review it before or after speaking with the patient.
