Intake Workflow

Capture migraine history on the phone in one call—no paperwork delay

Migraine diagnosis depends on detailed history. AI captures onset pattern, aura, triggers, failed treatments, and medication allergies during the initial call. Your clinician gets a structured intake summary before the patient ever sits down.

How it pays back

Chair time spent on exam and plan, not history-taking

Your clinician reviews the AI-captured intake summary before the visit. Appointment time goes to neurological exam, imaging review, and treatment planning—not repeating details the patient already gave.

Consistent, thorough intake every time

The AI follows a standardized migraine intake protocol. No questions skipped, no details lost. Every new patient gets the same comprehensive history—whether it's 9 a.m. or 5 p.m.

Red flags surfaced before the visit

If intake reveals sudden severe headache onset, new migraine pattern, or neurological symptoms, these are flagged for immediate clinical review. Your team can triage to neuro imaging or ER before the appointment.

Insurance and contact verified at intake

The AI captures patient contact information and insurance carrier name. Staff reviews and enters insurance details into your billing system. No surprise 'no insurance on file' issues on visit day.

Frequently asked questions

What if the patient has had migraines for 20 years—won't intake take forever?

The AI is trained to prioritize clinically relevant history: when the current pattern started, what changed, what's failed, what's working. For established patients, the AI references the chart and focuses on new symptoms or changes since last visit. Intake typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Does the AI diagnose migraine or rule out secondary headache?

No. The AI captures history; diagnosis is the clinician's role. However, the AI flags red flags (sudden worst headache ever, fever, focal neuro signs, trauma) that suggest urgent imaging or ER referral before the appointment.

What about patients with complex histories—chronic daily headache, medication overuse?

The AI captures all prior treatments, dosages, and side effects. Medication overuse history is documented. The structured summary alerts your clinician to complexity before the visit so they can plan adequate appointment time.

Can the AI ask about preventive medication trials?

Yes. The intake protocol includes questions about every failed preventive: topiramate dose and why stopped, beta-blocker trials, CGRP antagonists, botox history. This information is essential for treatment planning and is captured in structured form.

Does insurance information captured by the AI go into the EMR?

The AI captures insurance carrier name and member ID during intake and returns it as a structured summary. Staff reviews and verifies coverage in your billing system. Insurance details are not auto-synced to the EMR—your billing team controls that entry.

How does this work for follow-up visits?

For established patients calling to book a follow-up appointment, the AI references the patient's chart and asks about interim symptoms, medication changes, and response to current plan. A brief update summary is captured for your clinician's pre-visit review.
