Intake

Capture detailed pain history, imaging results, and prior treatment on intake calls to interventional pain clinics

New pain patients call expecting a clinical screening, not a forms list. The AI conducts a natural intake conversation—pain location, onset, prior imaging, treatments tried—and returns a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your clinical team to review and file.

How it pays back

Clinical Team Receives Actionable Summary

Instead of a form with yes/no boxes, your clinician gets a narrative summary of pain history, imaging context, and prior treatments—ready to copy into the chart or edit. No time spent deciphering patient scribbles or rehashing the interview.

Patients Experience Warm Phone Screening

The AI conducts the intake as a clinical conversation—not a rigid form. Patients feel heard, pain context is captured naturally, and your team gets rich detail instead of checkboxes.

Imaging Status Logged for Authorization

Every prior MRI, CT, or X-ray is timestamped and noted. Your authorization team uses this to determine what new imaging is needed, preventing redundant scans and accelerating pre-auth.

Red Flags Surfaced Early

If a patient mentions trauma, progressive neurological changes, or cancer history, the AI flags these in the summary. Your clinical team spots contraindications or need for urgent imaging before the appointment.

Detailed pain history captured in natural conversation

Onset, location, radiation, character, functional impact described and structured

Prior imaging logged with findings and dates

MRI, CT, X-ray modality, date, and patient-reported findings recorded for authorization

Prior treatments documented comprehensively

Physical therapy, medications, prior injections, surgeries captured with timeframes

Structured summary ready for EMR filing

Clinical team reviews, edits, and pastes into chart; no manual data entry needed

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI determine the pain diagnosis or recommend a procedure?

No. The AI gathers clinical history and captures patient-reported symptoms. Diagnosis, imaging interpretation, and treatment recommendations are made by your clinician at the appointment or consultation.

What if a patient says their imaging is 'from a few years ago' but can't remember the date?

The AI notes 'Prior MRI, date approximate/not recalled by patient' so your clinical team knows to request records. Your staff can pull imaging from outside providers if needed for continuity.

Does the AI note medication side effects or contraindications?

The AI captures the current medication list and any patient-reported adverse effects (e.g., 'ibuprofen causes stomach upset'). Your clinician reviews allergies and drug interactions before the appointment.

How is the summary structured for your EHR?

The AI returns a narrative summary organized by: chief complaint, pain history, prior imaging, prior treatments, medications, allergies, and functional impact. Your clinical team can copy this into your EHR template or edit as needed before filing.

Is the summary HIPAA-compliant and secure?

Yes. All patient data is encrypted, stored securely, and only your practice staff can access it. The summary is timestamped and audit-logged per HIPAA requirements.
