Clinical Workflow

AI triage separates routine migraine calls from red-flag emergencies—escalate immediately

Not all migraine calls are routine. AI listens for red flags—sudden worst headache of life, neurological deficits, status migrainosus—and escalates to on-call providers or emergency protocols in seconds.

How it pays back

Red flags never slip through

Sudden worst headache, meningeal signs, stroke symptoms, and status migrainosus are identified in real-time. The AI escalates to the provider or emergency department—not to a scheduler.

On-call providers are notified instantly

High-priority calls trigger immediate alerts with full context. Providers don't learn about urgent cases from a voicemail an hour later.

Routine calls flow to scheduling

Preventive visits, refills, and non-urgent follow-ups bypass the escalation queue and move straight to appointment booking—no clinical bottleneck.

Structured triage data for your chart

Each urgent call is summarized with timeline, symptoms, vital sign concerns, and escalation action. Your clinician has the full context before they call back.

Frequently asked questions

What symptoms trigger an immediate escalation?

Sudden worst headache of life, thunderclap onset, meningeal signs, focal neurological deficits, altered consciousness, status migrainosus, fever, neck stiffness, and vision loss. Your clinic can configure the specific red-flag list.

How fast is the escalation to the on-call provider?

The triage is complete within 60–90 seconds. The on-call provider is notified via phone alert with the call summary pushed to their screen or secure app. No voicemail delays.

Can we route emergencies directly to 911 or ED?

Yes. For suspected stroke, meningitis, or other life-threatening presentations, the AI can inform the patient to call 911 immediately and simultaneously alert your on-call provider. Your protocol determines the routing.

What if the patient is incoherent or can't answer triage questions?

If the AI detects severe distress or inability to communicate clearly, it immediately escalates to on-call staff without waiting for full triage. A clinician takes over the call.

Do routine migraine calls still get recorded and summarized?

Yes. Routine calls are recorded and a structured triage summary is created and made available for your chart review. Non-urgent doesn't mean undocumented—it means routed to scheduling and reviewed by clinical staff before filing.
