The problem it solves

Preparing every patient for their visit and following up afterward takes staff time that's already stretched thin. Patients who show up unprepared or never get a follow-up are more likely to have a rough experience or skip feedback entirely.

Who it fits

Clinics and healthcare practices that want every patient to get consistent pre-visit prep and follow-up without extra staff time.

How it works

  1. Triggers when a new appointment is added to your calendar
  2. AI writes a personalized pre-visit guide based on the appointment details
  3. The guide is texted to the patient automatically
  4. After the appointment, the system waits, then sends an AI-written follow-up asking for feedback
  5. Your team gets a notification once the follow-up goes out
What you get

Patients who arrive prepared and followed up

You get every patient a personalized pre-visit guide before their appointment and a friendly follow-up message afterward, without any extra staff effort.

What you get

Automatic pre-visit texts and post-visit follow-up messages for every patient appointment.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, a Twilio account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
