Clinical Workflow

AI asks the right symptom questions and routes urgent migraine calls to your clinical team instantly

Migraine triage is nuanced: severity, aura, medication use, and red flags all matter. AI reception captures these details in real time and escalates genuine emergencies while routing stable patients to booking or voicemail queues.

How it pays back

Clinically accurate triage in seconds

The AI asks symptom questions designed for migraine assessment—not generic 'how are you feeling' prompts. Your clinical team receives calls that genuinely need immediate attention, not routine scheduling requests mislabeled as urgent.

On-call provider trusts the escalation

Your team configures the escalation criteria. The AI follows your protocol. On-call providers know that any migraine escalation meets your defined severity threshold, reducing alert fatigue and improving response quality.

No missed red flags

The AI asks about sudden onset, visual changes, neurological symptoms, and other emergency markers. If a caller describes a true emergency, the call is routed to your on-call provider or emergency protocol immediately.

Structured data for your chart

Instead of handwritten notes or staff trying to remember what the caller said, your team receives a complete, timestamped symptom summary ready to review and file into the EMR or clinical note.

Clinically designed questions

Migraine-specific triage, not generic intake

Red flags detected and escalated

Sudden onset, aura changes, emergency symptoms routed immediately

Structured summary generated

Symptom data formatted for chart documentation

Protocol-driven routing

Your clinical staff define escalation criteria; AI enforces them

Frequently asked questions

What migraine-specific questions does the AI ask?

The AI asks about pain onset (sudden vs. gradual), location (unilateral, bilateral, localized), severity on a simple scale, presence of aura or visual changes, associated symptoms (nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity), current medications, whether this is a new pattern, and any neurological or emergency warning signs. Your clinical staff can customize the question set.

How does the AI distinguish between an acute migraine and a routine follow-up appointment?

The AI asks the reason for the call and assesses current symptoms. If the caller is describing an active migraine with concerning features, it escalates. If the caller is requesting a routine appointment or refill follow-up, it books or queues the request for your team.

Can we customize the escalation criteria for our practice?

Yes. Your clinical leadership defines which symptom combinations or severity levels trigger escalation. The AI is configured to follow your protocol. You can update criteria as your practice's protocols evolve.

What happens if the AI detects a potential migraine emergency?

The AI immediately routes the call to your on-call provider or emergency protocol line. Your on-call contact receives a real-time alert with the caller's identity, symptom summary, and severity indicators so they can respond without delay.

Does the AI provide medical advice or recommendations?

No. The AI gathers information and escalates or routes based on your defined protocol. Your clinical team provides all medical advice, diagnosis, and treatment decisions. The AI is a triage and intake tool, not a clinical decision-maker.

How is the symptom data documented for the patient's chart?

The AI returns a structured, timestamped symptom summary that includes all responses and escalation flags. Your clinical staff review this summary and file it in the patient's EMR or incorporate it into the clinical note. The documentation is your team's responsibility, but the AI provides complete, organized input.
