Patient Intake

Capture vertigo history and symptoms during the phone call, structured summary for your staff to review and file

New and returning vertigo patients provide symptom history, onset details, and associated complaints during their first call. AI records this as a structured summary for your staff to review and file, reducing intake form delays.

How it pays back

Intake Before Arrival

By the time the patient arrives or speaks to the clinician, your team has a complete symptom history, prior episode details, and medication list. Chair time is spent on examination and management, not data collection.

Consistent Symptom Documentation

AI captures the same information from every vertigo caller using your clinic's intake template. No details are missed, and the summary is structured for easy chart entry by your staff.

Reduced Paper Forms

Patients don't fill out lengthy intake forms in the waiting room. The AI-captured summary serves as your intake record, which staff review, verify, and file into the chart.

Red-Flag Screening Built In

The AI asks about head trauma, sudden onset, vision changes, hearing loss, and recent falls. Your staff reviews these flags before the patient is seen.

Structured intake

Symptom onset, duration, triggers, and associated complaints captured on the call

EMR-ready summary

Returned to your staff as a structured, pasteable record for review and filing

Staff review and file

Clinical documentation is saved by your team, maintaining accountability

Named EMR integrations

Frequently asked questions

What vertigo symptoms does the AI ask about on the call?

The AI asks about room-spinning sensation, duration of episodes, triggers (head movement, position change, activity), associated nausea or vomiting, hearing changes, tinnitus, prior episodes, head injury, and functional impact (walking, work, driving). Your clinic customizes the intake questions during setup.

Does the AI write the intake summary directly into the patient chart?

No. The AI captures the intake information and returns it as a structured summary. Your staff review, verify, and file the summary into the chart. This ensures accuracy and clinical oversight.

Can the AI identify whether a vertigo patient has been to your clinic before?

Yes. The system looks up the caller's phone number in your EMR. If they are an existing patient, their prior vertigo visits, imaging, and diagnoses are displayed. New callers' demographics and phone number are synced to create a new patient record; the intake summary is returned for staff to review and file.

What if the patient doesn't have time for a full intake call?

The AI can capture basic information (name, phone, reason for call, urgency level) and schedule the patient for an appointment. A more complete intake can be gathered during the visit or via a follow-up call before the appointment.

How is patient privacy protected during AI intake?

All calls are encrypted, retained securely, and compliant with HIPAA. The system has a BAA in place. Your staff controls data retention and deletion policies.
