Patient Intake

AI intake capture for migraine consultations—structured summary ready for your EMR

Replace paper intake forms with phone-based structured questions. The AI captures migraine history, triggers, medication list, and comorbidities during the call; results are returned as a chart-ready summary for staff review and filing.

How it pays back

Patients don't wait in reception with a clipboard

Phone-based intake means patients can answer questions at their own pace from home, on the phone, during or just before their appointment. No sitting room delays; better experience.

Cleaner, more complete data than paper forms

The AI asks open-ended and clarifying questions. A paper form says 'migraine frequency: ___.' The AI asks 'How many migraines per month?' and when the patient says '3 to 5,' the AI clarifies whether that's episodic or chronic daily. The result is a complete picture.

Your clinician starts the visit with full context

The clinician sees a structured summary of triggers, comorbidities, prior treatments, and medication history before the patient sits down. The first 5 minutes of the visit aren't spent repeating intake questions.

Trigger and comorbidity insights feed your note-taking

The AI flags hormone-related patterns, caffeine dependency, sleep issues, and stress factors. Your clinician doesn't have to dig for these details during a busy appointment.

No duplicate data entry by staff

Patient types in their own information on a form, then staff re-enters it into the EMR. Phone intake means the AI captures directly; staff reviews one structured summary and files it. One data entry, less error.

Faster chart documentation post-visit

The clinician supplements the AI intake summary with exam findings and treatment plan. Less chart time after the patient leaves.

Frequently asked questions

When does the migraine intake call happen—before the appointment or during check-in?

Typically 24 hours before the appointment (via outbound call or patient-initiated call). Some practices do it during check-in while the patient is in the waiting room. You set the timing and whether it's optional or required.

What if the patient doesn't answer a pre-appointment intake call?

The AI leaves a message with a callback link or scheduling option. If the patient doesn't call back, your staff can still see that the intake was attempted. The clinician may do a brief intake at the start of the visit.

Does the AI diagnose or recommend treatment during intake?

No. The AI only asks questions and captures information. Diagnosis, imaging recommendations, and treatment decisions are entirely the clinician's responsibility. The AI summary is raw data for the clinician to review and act on.

What if the patient's answer doesn't fit the expected categories?

The AI is trained to capture open-ended answers and note them verbatim in the summary. Your staff can review anything unclear or non-standard and clarify with the patient or clinician before filing.

Does the intake capture medication allergies and interactions?

Yes. The AI asks about known drug allergies, reactions to migraine medications (triptans, NSAIDs, antiemetics), and any medications contraindicated for the patient. This is flagged in the summary for clinician review.

Can the AI intake be used for telehealth migraine visits?

Yes. The intake call can be scheduled before or as part of the telehealth appointment. The clinician has the structured summary available during the video call.
