Reception stopped being a call centre — clinical questions still reached a person

A clinic network was losing bookings to unanswered phones. We automated the administrative layer — scheduling, reminders, directions — and routed anything clinical immediately.

Boundary

clinical questions never answered by the model

Before

  • Phones and WhatsApp filled with reschedules, reminders, and ‘how do I get there’.
  • Anything that sounded medical had to wait in the same queue.
  • No-shows from missed reminders were eating the calendar.

After

  • Routine admin is handled outside clinic hours.
  • Clinical flags arrive with the transcript already attached.
  • Reminder sequences run the same way at every location.

Constraints

  • The AI must never attempt clinical advice.
  • Data residency and retention had to match their policy.
  • Staff needed a reviewable log of every conversation.

What we built

  • Booking, rescheduling, reminders, and preparation instructions on WhatsApp and web.
  • Intent detection that sends symptom or treatment questions to a nurse, not a generated answer.
  • Region and retention controls scoped with their compliance lead before go-live.

“The win wasn’t ‘AI answering patients’. The win was reception doing clinical work again.”
