Patient Onboarding
New patients call to schedule, and the AI conducts a full intake interview capturing demographics, chief complaint, medical history, and insurance—all recorded and structured before they ever arrive for their first visit.
Because intake was completed on the booking call, the patient arrives with demographics and chief complaint already captured. Check-in is verification and vitals, not form filling—appointments start on time.
Demographics (name, DOB, phone) write to your EMR. Your staff reviews the intake summary once and files it. Patients don't repeat their medical history to the front desk, nurse, and provider.
The provider sees structured medical history, allergies, current medications, and chief complaint in the intake summary before the patient is roomed. They can prepare efficiently and ask targeted questions.
Insurance information captured during the booking call can be verified by your staff before the visit. Billing questions are resolved early, not discovered after the appointment.

Typically 4–6 minutes for standard intake (name, DOB, insurance, chief complaint, medical history highlights). The AI asks follow-up questions based on what the patient shares, so it feels conversational and efficient—not a rigid checklist.
The AI captures what the patient knows and notes gaps ('patient reports not sure of exact medication names'). Your staff can follow up with the patient by phone or portal if needed, or the patient can provide more details at check-in. The appointment doesn't hinge on perfect recall.
Yes. The AI can ask if the patient has prior medical records and offer to coordinate transfer from their previous provider. This request and patient preferences are captured in the intake summary for your staff to act on.
Yes. Name, date of birth, phone number, and the scheduled appointment write to your EMR automatically. The full intake summary (medical history, allergies, medications, chief complaint) is returned to your staff within moments of the call ending for review and filing.
The AI captures the patient's narrative of their history and chief complaint. Your staff and provider then review the structured summary and can request prior records or specialist notes as needed. The AI's role is to gather what the patient reports, not to verify or interpret complex medical history.
