Patient Experience

Migraine new patient calls: capture full headache history, comorbidities, prior treatments, and medication on first contact—no callback needed for details

New migraine patients often have complex histories: years of failed treatments, multiple comorbidities, and medication interactions that matter for the first visit. Our AI captures comprehensive intake on the incoming call and creates a new patient record ready for your clinician's review.

How it pays back

First visit starts with a complete chart

Your clinician doesn't spend 30 minutes taking history. The AI has captured headache patterns, prior treatments, and comorbidities on the incoming call. The first appointment can focus on physical exam and treatment planning.

Identify red flags before the visit

New patient intake may reveal concerning patterns: thunderclap onset, new pattern change, or medication overuse. These flags are captured and logged so your team can expedite the visit or counsel the patient on ED criteria.

Faster medication reconciliation

The AI asks about all current medications, supplements, and prior drug trials. Your clinician has this list before the visit, reducing the risk of drug interactions or duplicative therapy.

Better prior auth and insurance pre-planning

Insurance coverage for migraine treatments requires treatment failure documentation. When your AI captures prior treatments on intake, your team has the evidence needed for prior auth before the visit.

Improved new patient scheduling

Your scheduler knows upfront whether the new patient is an urgent add-on (red flags, status migrainosus) or routine appointment. Complex cases are flagged for clinician scheduling preference.

Frequently asked questions

What headache history details does the AI capture for new patients?

Age of onset, frequency per month, duration per episode, pain severity (1-10 scale), presence of aura, associated symptoms (nausea, photophobia, phonophobia), and any identifiable triggers.

Does the AI ask about comorbid conditions?

Yes. Depression, anxiety, hypertension, sleep disorders, and other comorbidities are captured because they affect migraine management and medication choices. Your clinician has this context before the visit.

Can the AI log prior treatments that failed?

Yes. The AI asks about all prior migraine treatments: triptans, ergots, preventives (topiramate, amitriptyline, propranolol, etc.), Botox, nerve blocks, and other interventions. It also captures the reason each was stopped or changed.

What happens if the new patient discloses a red flag?

Red flags like thunderclap onset, new pattern change, or concerning neurologic symptoms are flagged in the intake summary. Your intake coordinator or clinician is notified so they can prioritize the appointment or provide urgent guidance.

Does the new patient chart auto-populate in the EHR?

Demographic data (name, date of birth, contact, insurance) creates a new patient record in your EHR. The structured intake summary—including headache history, comorbidities, prior treatments, and medications—is returned as an EMR-pasteable summary for your clinician to review and file before the first appointment.
