AI-powered on-call routing for migraine emergencies outside business hours

Status migrainosus and severe attacks don't stop at 5 p.m. An AI receptionist answers after-hours migraine calls, triages severity, and routes urgent cases to your on-call provider without delays.

How it pays back

Providers sleep better—calls are triaged before they ring

Your on-call provider receives a brief text alert with call summary and clinical red flags—not a raw patient message at 2 a.m. True emergencies get the call; routine refills wait until morning.

Severe attacks get faster help

Status migrainosus and intractable symptoms bypass voicemail and ring immediately to on-call. Your provider can authorize ER referral or arrange urgent visit within minutes.

Weekend continuity with minimal staffing

One on-call provider handles triaged calls via the AI instead of working blind. Calls are structured, not chaotic, so decisions are faster and safer.

No liability gaps from missed weekend calls

Every call is answered, triaged, and logged. Your practice has a clear record of the decision (treat at home, refer to ER, urgent visit Monday) and the clinical reasoning.

Urgent calls escalated

Red-flag symptoms (status migrainosus, neuro changes) trigger on-call provider alert in real time

Call summary provided

Provider receives triage notes, attack details, and patient contact info before call

Fully documented

Call recordings and transcripts logged for chart and quality assurance

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a patient calls at 3 a.m. with a migraine?

The AI answers immediately, asks about attack duration, severity, current medications tried, and any warning signs (vision changes, weakness, confusion). If severe or unresponsive to treatment, the AI alerts your on-call provider via SMS and phone. The provider can authorize an ER referral or urgent visit.

How does the AI know what counts as an emergency migraine?

Your practice configures red flags: status migrainosus (attack >72 hours), thunderclap onset, accompanied neurologic changes, or no improvement after home treatment. The AI asks these questions and escalates if any red flag is present.

Can patients request a callback instead of speaking to the AI?

Yes. If a patient prefers human callback, the AI can flag the call for your on-call provider to return. The AI still triages severity and logs the call so the provider knows what to expect.

Are weekend calls charged differently?

No. The AI receptionist operates 24/7 at the same per-call or monthly rate. After-hours and weekend coverage is included.
