Workflow

Complete new patient migraine intake on the intake call, not during the appointment

AI reception captures migraine history, medication list, triggers, and comorbidities during the initial phone call so new patients arrive prepared and appointment time stays focused on treatment.

How it pays back

Appointment time spent on exam and treatment planning, not history taking

Provider already has detailed migraine history, so the visit focuses on physical exam, diagnostic decision-making, and therapy options—not reading a clipboard.

New patients feel known before they meet the provider

Intake data is documented and visible in the EMR. When the provider walks in, they've reviewed the patient's pattern and can reference specific episodes and medications.

Medication interactions flagged early

By capturing all current medications (including over-the-counter) during intake, pharmacy concerns and contraindications are identified before the visit.

Diagnostic workup prioritized in advance

If the patient's history suggests secondary headache red flags, imaging or labs can be ordered before arrival so results are ready during the visit.

Frequently asked questions

What questions does the AI ask during migraine intake?

Questions cover headache frequency and severity, duration of episodes, time of onset, associated symptoms (nausea, photophobia, aura), known triggers, prior medications tried, family history, and current comorbid conditions. The list is customized to your practice's clinical workflow.

How is the intake summary handled after the call?

The intake is captured and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your clinical staff review it, verify accuracy, and file it into the EMR. This ensures clinical oversight and allows you to add notes or flag items for the provider.

Can patients decline to answer intake questions on the phone?

Yes. If a patient prefers to discuss details at the appointment, the AI notes that and schedules the visit. However, most patients appreciate being asked upfront because it shortens their appointment.

What if the AI detects a medication interaction or contraindication?

The AI flags the concern in the structured summary so your staff and provider see it before the visit. Your provider determines clinical significance and decides whether to adjust therapy or order additional tests.

How long does the intake call usually take?

A typical migraine intake takes 5–10 minutes. The AI asks focused questions and captures concise answers. Patients can expand if they choose, but the call is kept efficient.

Does intake capture insurance and emergency contact?

Yes. The AI gathers insurance carrier, member ID, and emergency contact during the call. This information is returned as part of the intake summary for your staff to verify and file.
