Delivery Model

AI receptionist routes migraine patients to telehealth or in-person visits based on clinical need and availability

Smart appointment routing recommends telehealth for follow-ups and in-person for complex cases—reduces no-shows, expands capacity, and improves patient access to migraine care.

How it pays back

Migraine patients get faster access

Routine follow-ups slot into telehealth availability instantly—no multi-week waits for in-person appointments. Acute flares can be triaged via video same-day, reducing ER visits and urgent care redirects.

No-shows drop on telehealth visits

Telehealth appointments booked by AI include an automated reminder with a video link sent directly to the patient's phone. No transportation barriers, no need to find the office—patients join from home and show up.

In-person capacity reserved for what matters

Complex diagnostics, imaging review, and medication injections stay in the clinic. Follow-ups and routine check-ins move to telehealth. Your providers see fewer routine appointments and more high-value clinical work.

Better continuity across visit types

Whether a patient books telehealth or in-person, the same intake and data flow apply. Your EMR sees all visits the same way, so clinical notes and treatment tracking don't fragment across modalities.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI decide if a migraine visit should be telehealth or in-person?

The AI follows your clinical protocol. Routine follow-ups, medication refills, and post-visit check-ins default to telehealth. New migraine presentations, complex cases, or patients needing imaging or injection typically go to in-person. Your providers can adjust the protocol as needed.

Do patients prefer telehealth for migraine follow-ups?

Many do, especially for sensitive check-ins when they're managing pain at home. Telehealth removes transportation burden and lets patients avoid bright lights and busy waiting rooms. The AI offers the option; the patient confirms their preference.

What happens if a patient wants telehealth but your protocol says in-person?

The AI captures the patient's preference and flags it for your staff. Your clinical team can override and offer telehealth if clinically appropriate, or explain why in-person is needed. It's a suggestion, not a mandate.

Does the EMR distinguish between telehealth and in-person visits?

Yes. The appointment is flagged in your EMR as either a telehealth or in-person visit. Your provider templates and workflow adjust accordingly—telehealth visits flow to video platforms, in-person to the clinic schedule.

How does the AI deliver telehealth links to patients?

When a telehealth appointment is confirmed, the AI sends the patient a text or email with the video link and visit instructions. Reminders go out the day before and 30 minutes before the appointment, with the link included so patients can join directly.
