Stress, hormones, food, sleep, weather, light: asking every migraine caller the same trigger questions in the same order

Trigger screening is the part of migraine intake that gets skipped when the front desk is busy. How phone intake asks every caller the same trigger set and returns what they said as one list for your team to review.

How it pays back

Every caller gets the same screen

The trigger questions do not depend on who picked up the phone or how busy the desk was that morning. Stress, hormones, dietary triggers, and sleep are asked about on every migraine call, so nothing is missed in a rush.

Triggers come back as a list, not a paragraph

The patient talks naturally and the triggers are pulled out and listed. Your team reads a set of items rather than hunting for them inside a narrative someone typed up after the call.

A new trigger does not require an appointment

When an established patient notices that a new trigger has appeared, they can report it on a call. The update is captured the same way as an initial screen and routed to your clinical team.

Your provider sees it before it becomes the record

The trigger summary goes to your clinical team rather than straight into the chart. Your provider checks accuracy before any of it becomes part of the legal record.

Frequently asked questions

Which trigger areas does the AI ask about on a migraine call?

Stress at work or home, hormonal cycles, specific foods, weather changes, sleep disruption, screen time, and environmental factors such as light or noise. The same areas are covered on every call rather than being chosen call by call.

How are the trigger questions actually phrased?

As ordinary questions rather than a checklist read out loud. Patients answer naturally about known or suspected triggers, including specific foods such as caffeine, alcohol, MSG, or aged cheese, and the triggers are extracted from those answers and listed for your team.

An established patient noticed a new trigger. Do they have to book a visit to report it?

No. If an existing patient calls to report new triggers or a medication change, the AI captures an intake update. The summary goes to your clinical team, who review it and add it to the patient record.

Does the trigger list go straight into the chart?

No. The call summary goes to your clinical team first. Your provider reviews the triggers for accuracy, and only then does the information become part of the chart.
