Appointment Booking
Migraine patients calling with acute symptoms often hang up after voicemail or long waits. AI answers immediately, assesses urgency, finds the next available slot, and locks in the booking with demographics—all while documenting the intake.

AI confirms details on the call and sends a text reminder. Patients know when and where to arrive, reducing no-shows and double-bookings.
Callers who would normally hang up in queue get a live answer and an immediate appointment. The call converts to a booking.
AI triages severity in real time. Routine follow-ups are routed to available slots; true emergencies go to on-call. Your urgent capacity stays open for the patients who need it most.
Symptom history, current medications, and prior treatment responses are captured on the call. When the patient arrives, clinical staff have context and can skip repeat questions.
Appointment is booked, confirmed, and written to the calendar in one call. No waiting for staff callback; no 'please call us back to confirm.'

Yes. Your calendar is configured with appointment types (acute migraine visit, follow-up preventive, medication adjustment, new patient consultation). The AI matches the patient's need to the appropriate slot type and availability.
The AI answers and triages urgency. If on-call coverage is active, acute cases are escalated immediately with the full call summary. The AI can also provide your patients' emergency instructions (when to go to the ER, on-call number to call, etc.).
Yes. Patients can call back, and the AI recognizes them, pulls their appointment, and helps reschedule or cancel. Changes sync to your EMR in real time.
Significantly. Staff no longer handle routine booking calls, confirmation calls, or follow-up to remind patients they booked. The AI removes those tasks entirely.
The AI can transfer to staff at any point. You control the transfer rules—e.g., always transfer for clinical questions, but book appointments for routine follow-ups. Transfers preserve the call context.
The AI collects name, date of birth, phone, and contact information during intake. This data is written to your EMR as a new patient record. Symptom history, medical background, and other clinical details are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for staff to review and file.
