Intake

Capture migraine history, triggers, and medication details from callers without manual forms

Migraine assessment requires consistent history-taking: onset, severity, associated symptoms, aura, prior treatment, triggers. MedReception's AI asks these questions conversationally on every call and returns a structured summary that your staff reviews and files into the chart.

How it pays back

Consistent intake every call

Whether a new patient calls for the first time or an existing patient calls about a new attack, the same structured questions are asked. Your chart is never missing headache location or aura history.

Structured data, not voicemail rambling

The AI captures specific answers to key questions and returns them in a format your staff can review and paste directly into the chart. No staff member needs to listen to 3 minutes of voicemail to extract 20 seconds of useful data.

Medication overuse identified early

By asking about acute medication frequency on every call, your team can identify patients at risk of medication overuse headache before it becomes chronic, enabling preventive counseling.

Trigger patterns visible at a glance

The structured summary includes reported triggers for each call. Over time, your staff can spot patterns (e.g., patient always has migraine after stress or missed sleep) and tailor counseling.

New patient onboarding faster

New patients complete a full migraine history on their first call, so your clinician has context before the appointment, reducing appointment time and improving diagnostic efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

What questions does the AI ask about migraine history?

The AI asks about headache onset (sudden vs. gradual), location and radiation, severity (1-10 scale), associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, light/sound sensitivity), aura (visual or other), duration, current preventive medications, acute medications used, and recent triggers (stress, sleep, food, hormonal changes).

Can the AI detect medication overuse headache?

The AI captures how frequently the patient is using acute medications and how long they've been using them. This information is returned in the structured summary, and your clinical team can then assess and counsel the patient about medication overuse risk.

Does the structured data go directly into the EMR?

No. The AI returns the structured intake summary as text formatted for easy pasting. Your staff reviews the data, ensures accuracy, and files it into the chart. This maintains your workflow and ensures clinical oversight.

What if a patient doesn't answer a question or gives a vague answer?

The AI re-asks or seeks clarification within the natural flow of conversation. If critical data is missing (e.g., no answer about aura), the system flags it in the summary so your staff can follow up.

Can new patients complete intake on their first call?

Yes. New patients answer the same structured questions as returning patients. The AI verifies their contact and demographic information, and returns a full intake summary. Your staff can then prepare for the first appointment.

How long does the intake call take?

A complete migraine intake typically takes 3–5 minutes of conversational questioning. Returning patients or simple requests (refills, scheduling) take less time.
