Patient Experience

Adherence, dose changes, and a shifting pattern, collected while the follow-up is being booked

A migraine follow-up is mostly about the interval. How the booking call itself captures preventive adherence, recent medication changes, and any shift in pattern, then flags the ones your clinician should look at first.

How it pays back

The interval is what the visit is about

Your clinician opens the chart already seeing recent triggers, medication changes, and treatment responses. The follow-up starts where the last one left off instead of rebuilding the last three months from memory.

Adherence gets asked about out loud

Conversational intake surfaces nuances patients skip on a written form, including when they actually take a preventive rather than when they were told to. That detail changes what a follow-up is for.

A worsening pattern does not wait for the appointment

If the answers describe a sudden change in pattern, daily migraines, or medication overuse, the call is flagged and can be escalated for immediate clinical review or a faster appointment rather than sitting in a calendar slot weeks out.

Front desk stops re-keying the update

Staff no longer review, rescan, or manually enter what the patient reported between visits. The summary comes back EMR-pasteable, and desk time goes to room setup and pulling prior records instead.

A clinician still signs off on it

Your nurse or medical assistant reviews the summary, corrects gaps, and confirms accuracy before the provider sees it. The AI captures; your clinical judgment remains the source of truth.

Frequently asked questions

Is this only for new patients, or does it work for people we already see?

Both, and the returning-patient case is the one this covers. An established patient booking a follow-up gets asked what has changed, and the summary comes back as an updated history rather than a first intake.

What does the AI actually ask an established migraine patient?

Migraine frequency in days per month, typical duration, associated symptoms, current preventive medications and adherence, abortive medications used, recent medication changes, known triggers, impact on daily life, and relevant past medical history.

What if the patient does not remember the dose they were switched to?

The AI captures what the patient knows and flags the missing detail in the summary. Your clinical staff can then call the patient, check pharmacy records, or contact the previous provider before the appointment.

What happens when a follow-up call reveals things have got much worse?

The summary flags it and the call can be escalated. A sudden change in migraine pattern, daily migraines, medication overuse, or red-flag symptoms move the call toward immediate clinical review or faster scheduling rather than a routine booking.

Do patients mind being asked all this when they only called to book?

A call can feel easier than a form. Patients tend to experience the call as being listened to rather than surveyed, and consent is captured at the start of the call so nothing about the recording is a surprise.
