Workflow

Capture full migraine intake during the call, not at the desk

Migraine history is long and symptoms matter. Use AI-led phone intake to gather frequency, triggers, aura, prior medications, and imaging results before the patient arrives.

How it pays back

Visit starts with diagnosis, not paperwork

Your neurologist or headache specialist receives a structured intake summary on arrival. Chair time focuses on examination, imaging interpretation, and treatment planning, not filling blanks.

Accurate trigger and pattern identification

The AI asks systematic questions about timing, triggers (stress, hormones, foods), and patterns. Patients often don't think to mention these during a rushed desk check-in.

Prior treatment history is preserved

Every medication trial—dose, duration, side effects, response—is captured on the call. Your staff reviews and files it once in the chart. No conflicting histories across visits.

Red-flag symptoms routed before arrival

Sudden onset, neurological deficits, or fever are caught on the phone and escalated. Safe triage happens in real time.

Fewer appointment no-shows

Patients who complete phone intake feel heard and prepared. The call confirms appointment details, reduces friction, and increases attendance.

Frequently asked questions

What if the patient can't remember all their prior medications?

The AI captures what the patient recalls and notes gaps. Your staff can contact the patient or prior providers to fill in the record before the visit. The summary flags incomplete sections so nothing is assumed.

How detailed should the trigger and pattern questions be?

You define the script. The AI can ask about stress, sleep, hormones, caffeine, weather, and specific foods common to your patient population. The level of detail is your choice and can be refined over time.

Does the AI score migraine severity?

The AI can ask the patient to rate pain on a 1–10 scale and ask about functional impact. These responses are captured in the summary. Your clinician performs the formal assessment during the visit.

What happens if a patient starts reporting new neurological symptoms during the intake call?

You define escalation rules. The AI can offer immediate provider callback, ER referral, or same-day appointment based on symptom triggers you set. The call is logged and flagged for urgent review.

Can the intake form be sent before the call?

Yes. The AI can send a pre-visit form link via SMS or email. When the patient calls, the AI uses responses to confirm details and asks follow-up questions. This hybrid approach speeds up the call and improves accuracy.
