Patient Intake

Stop repeating intake questions—AI captures symptom history, medications, triggers, and prior treatments on the first call

Every migraine call is an intake opportunity. AI asks about pain severity, aura, medications, triggers, prior imaging, and recent ER visits during booking or triage. Structured data is returned for chart review; clinical staff control what gets documented.

How it pays back

Intake happens once

AI captures complete history on the first call. When the patient arrives for the appointment, staff have context and don't repeat questions. Chair time is spent on care, not intake.

Clinical relevance preserved

Intake is tailored to migraine care: trigger recognition, preventive medication history, response to past treatments. Staff get clinically relevant data, not generic questions.

No chart gaps at first visit

Symptom history, medication list, and trigger data are captured before the patient sees the clinician. The chart is complete for the first visit; no need to backfill.

Better clinical decisions

Knowing prior imaging, medication trials, and trigger patterns earlier helps the clinician prioritize tests and treatment. More informed decisions happen faster.

Staff focus on clinical work

Front desk and clinical staff no longer spend time on routine intake calls. They can focus on triage, care coordination, and complex patient needs.

Frequently asked questions

Who decides what intake questions are asked?

Your clinic defines intake questions during onboarding. Questions can include pain scale, aura type, associated symptoms, current medications, trigger history, prior imaging, and specialist visits. The AI can adapt questions based on patient responses (e.g., ask about hormonal triggers for women of reproductive age).

Can patients opt out of intake or skip questions?

Yes. Patients can ask to skip questions or speak to staff instead. The AI is configured to recognize when a patient prefers to defer. Required fields (name, phone, date of birth) are captured for booking; clinical depth is captured when the patient is willing.

How is intake data protected if it's captured on a call?

All calls are encrypted end-to-end and stored securely on HIPAA-compliant servers. Calls are logged and auditable. Data is never shared with third parties; structured summaries are returned to your secure portal for staff review.

Does intake go directly into the chart, or does staff review it first?

New patient demographics and appointment details are written to your EMR. Clinical intake data (symptom history, medications, triggers) is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and validate before filing in the chart. The AI does not write clinical notes; it captures data that your team controls.

Can the AI ask different questions for new patients vs. established patients?

Yes. New patients get full intake: history, triggers, prior workup, current medications. Established patients get a brief update: recent symptoms, medication changes, new triggers. Your workflow determines the depth.

What if the patient's history is complex or vague?

The AI asks clarifying follow-up questions within its scope (e.g., 'How long have you been on that medication?' or 'Does the migraine happen with bright light or loud noise?'). Complex or unclear answers are flagged in the summary for staff to explore during the visit.
