AI for independent healthcare practices, including the ones with the hardest compliance load.
From dental and family medicine through specialty care and behavioral health treatment, we build the intake, documentation, and patient-communication workflows that get your team out of the inbox and back in the room, inside HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.
Pick the firm shape closest to yours
Each card is a real persona, a real day-in-the-life narrative, a real automation playbook, and a real example with a number on it. Click in to see how the platform runs inside a firm shaped like yours.
Dental Practice
1-4 chair general dentistry, hygiene-driven recall, insurance-heavy. Front desk runs on adrenaline and sticky notes.
Estimated annual value
Recovers ~$40-70k/yr in unfilled chair time at a 2-doctor practice running 1,400+ hygiene visits per year.
Family / Primary Care Practice
Solo or 2-3 provider primary care. Insurance-heavy, refill-heavy, prior-auth-heavy. Patient portal is half-used.
Estimated annual value
Recovers ~10 hours/week of MA time + reduces PA abandonment at a 3-provider practice = ~$50-80k/yr in saved labor and recaptured prescription fills.
Mental Health & Behavioral Practice
Solo therapist up to 8-clinician group practice. Intake is the bottleneck. Notes after-hours are the hidden tax.
Estimated annual value
Recovers 5-7 hours/week of after-hours documentation per clinician, roughly $30-50k/yr per clinician in either reclaimed personal time or capacity for additional sessions.
Specialty Practice (Derm / Ortho / Cardio)
1-5 specialist practice with surgical or procedural workflow. Referral coordination + imaging + surgical scheduling is the operational spine.
Estimated annual value
Converts ~20% more referrals into appointments at a single-specialist derm/ortho/cardio practice = ~$120-220k/yr in additional captured procedural revenue.
Behavioral Health Treatment Center
Outpatient or residential treatment program. Intake + insurance verification + family/referent coordination + alumni follow-up. Census-driven economics.
Estimated annual value
Generates 24-48 alumni-driven admissions/yr at a center with 400 active alumni = ~$700k-1.4M/yr in additional census at typical residential rates.
Urgent Care & Walk-In Clinic
High-volume walk-in clinic, 1-3 locations. Triage at the door, insurance at scale, and a front desk that never catches up between 5pm Friday and Monday morning.
Estimated annual value
Recovers ~15-25 additional visits/week at a 2-provider urgent care clinic through faster throughput + reduced walk-away rate = ~$180-320k/yr in captured visit revenue.
The work that's eating your team
We're not going to tell you healthcare is broken. You know what's broken. We're going to tell you which parts the system can run without you.
Front desk runs on adrenaline, not workflow
Six things hit at once and the team triages by emotion. Whatever's loudest gets done; whatever's silent (recall, treatment plan follow-up, unscheduled crowns) gets dropped. There's nothing wrong with the team. There's everything wrong with making humans the queue manager.
Insurance is a 14-minute call you make 30 times a week
Insurance verification, prior auth, eligibility check, benefits remaining. Each call is 8-20 minutes. Most of them don't need a human, they need someone to navigate a phone tree and read a screen. That's exactly what AI is for.
Treatment plan follow-up never happens
The doctor recommends a crown, an Invisalign consult, a deep cleaning, a colonoscopy. The patient leaves. The plan sits in the chart. Nobody calls. The patient forgets. The revenue evaporates. The team feels bad about not following up but there's no time. AI does the follow-up sequence and only escalates when the patient responds.
After-hours documentation is the silent burnout driver
Doctors and therapists finish notes at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm. It's not in the schedule. It's not paid. It's the difference between staying in the profession and leaving. Note-drafting AI (with mandatory clinical review) cuts that time by 60-80%.
Recall reports get printed and forgotten
Every PMS has a recall report. Every team intends to work it. It rarely gets worked because batching outreach to 200 overdue patients isn't a 30-minute job. Automated recall converts 8-15% of overdue patients into booked appointments without anyone touching a phone.
No one closes the loop with the referring provider
Specialty practices receive a referral, see the patient, and forget to send the report back. Primary care notices the gap. Future referrals slow down. AI auto-drafts the referral letter from the chart and queues it for clinician sign-off.
How the AI Operating System works inside a healthcare firm
One nervous system, written in your firm's language. n8n is the backbone. Zapier is the glue. Supabase + Claude is memory and reasoning. The result is a single layer that thinks, remembers, and acts on behalf of your team, without ripping out a single system you already use.
brain
Brain, Decision & orchestration
n8n + Anthropic Claude. Reads inbound events (voicemails, missed calls, cancellations, refill requests), classifies, decides routing, drafts responses. Never sends clinical communications without clinician review.
- ›Triage inbound patient comms
- ›Score waitlist patients for cancellation fills
- ›Draft clinical notes / referral letters / PA submissions for review
- ›Decide which automations to run, when, and for whom
memory
Memory, The practice's long-term context
Supabase (Postgres) with pgvector for embeddings. Stores every patient interaction, preference, treatment plan, recall status, family relationship, and operational signal. The PMS stays the system of record; this is the searchable side-context.
- ›Patient preferences (modality, time of day, anxiety, hygienist)
- ›Treatment plan + benefit status memory
- ›Conversation history across SMS, email, voice
- ›Compliance + audit trail
nervous system
Nervous System, Triggers & cron
Schedule-driven and event-driven triggers that wake up the rest of the system: missed-call events, recall windows, no-show events, end-of-day cleanup, daily huddle generation, alumni outreach intervals.
- ›PMS event subscription (cancellations, no-shows, completed visits)
- ›Cron for recall, follow-up, dashboards
- ›Inbound message webhooks (Twilio, RingCentral, etc.)
hands
Hands, Action layer
n8n + Zapier where appropriate. Sends SMS, drafts emails, books appointments back into the PMS, posts to dashboards, files prior-auths, queues notes for clinician review. Every action is logged and reversible.
- ›Patient SMS, email, secure portal messages
- ›PMS write-backs (book, reschedule, cancel)
- ›Dashboard updates
- ›Payer submissions + queues
eyes
Eyes, Ingest & observation
Voicemail transcription, fax/PDF OCR for inbound referrals, structured form parsing for intake, lab/imaging result ingestion, payer-portal scraping where APIs don't exist.
- ›Voicemail → text + classification
- ›Fax / referral document parsing
- ›Intake form structuring
- ›Payer portal eligibility checks
The point of separating these layers is reusability. The same Brain and Memory power your client acquisition, document handling, and compliance workflows. New automations are written as new Hands , not as a new system. That's the difference between an AI Operating System and a stack of one-off Zaps.
The healthcare automation catalog
Each entry below is a named workflow, not a category, not a promise. Every row describes what the workflow actually does in verb form, what it touches, and how it slots into your stack.
Front-of-house & first contact
The first 30 seconds of any patient interaction, the hidden conversion funnel.
Missed-call text-back
Any inbound call that goes to voicemail gets an automatic SMS within 30 seconds asking what the caller needs. Captures patients who would otherwise call another office during lunch, busy check-in/out, or after hours.
NervousHandsInbound call → voicemail~5-12 captured patients/monthVoicemail transcription & routing
Inbound voicemails are transcribed, classified (scheduling / billing / insurance / emergency / new patient / clinical question), and routed to the right queue with priority order. The team sees text, not voicemails to play back.
EyesBrainInbound voicemailNew-patient intake automation
Web-form or SMS-driven structured intake collecting demographics, insurance, presenting concern, medical history, consents, emergency contact, and pharmacy. Lands as a clean summary in the clinician's queue before the patient arrives.
EyesBrainMemoryWebsite form, inbound SMS, or referred leadPatient FAQ assistant
Web-chat or SMS-based assistant answering hours, accepted insurance, services, financing, emergency policy, first-visit prep. Hands off to a human the moment the question is clinical or sensitive.
BrainHandsWebsite chat or inbound SMS
Schedule density & cancellation recovery
The single biggest revenue lever for a chair-or-room-driven practice.
Last-minute cancellation fill
Within 60 seconds of a same-day cancellation, the system finds the top patients (overdue, on waitlist, nearby, with unused benefits) and texts them in priority order with a 4-minute response window each. First YES wins the slot.
BrainMemoryHandsPMS cancellation event8-15 same-day fills/quarterSmart hygiene waitlist
Patients who want earlier appointments are added to a structured waitlist with preferences (mornings, specific hygienist, can do same-day). When openings appear, the system matches and offers automatically.
BrainMemorySchedule-change eventPatient running-late triage
Inbound "running late" SMS is classified by office rules (5 min late = OK, 20+ min = ask team, can't shorten = reschedule). Reduces phone interruptions and gives the front desk a clean queue.
BrainHandsInbound SMSNo-show recovery (medical)
Same fill workflow as dental cancellation, applied to medical practices: no-show triggers an automated outreach to patients due for a similar appointment type within a configurable radius and benefit window.
BrainMemoryHandsPMS no-show event
Recall & reactivation
Bringing patients back without anyone manually calling overdue lists.
Hygiene recall automation
Identifies patients due or overdue for cleanings, X-rays, exams, perio maintenance, fluoride, oral cancer screening. Sends a friendly outreach with available slots; books the response without a phone call.
NervousBrainHandsDaily 8am cron~12% of overdue patients reactivate within 30 daysInactive patient reactivation
Identifies patients not seen in 9 / 12 / 18 / 24 months and sends a personalized reactivation message. Re-engages a portion of patients who would otherwise have churned silently.
BrainMemoryHandsWeekly cronRecall outreach (annual physical / chronic care)
For primary care: identifies patients overdue for annual physicals, A1C check-ins, statin re-evaluation, depression screening, age-appropriate cancer screenings. Sends scheduling outreach calibrated to the appointment type.
NervousBrainHandsDaily cronInsurance benefits reminder
Late in the calendar year, identifies patients with unused annual maximums + pending or overdue treatment + remaining benefits. Sends a soft message about year-end use of benefits.
BrainMemoryHandsQ4 weekly cron
Treatment plan & revenue recovery
Closing the loop on diagnosed-but-unscheduled treatment.
Treatment plan follow-up
After a visit with recommended treatment (crown, implant, Invisalign, deep cleaning, etc.), follows up with educational content + scheduling assistance + insurance/financing options. Hands off to staff when the patient asks a clinical question.
BrainMemoryHandsVisit closed with treatment plan flagged~40% of unscheduled treatment converts within 60dUnscheduled treatment dashboard
Office-manager dashboard showing every patient with treatment plans not yet scheduled, patient name, treatment type, estimated value, days since diagnosis, last contact, remaining benefits, priority. Replaces the printed report nobody reads.
MemoryHandsOn-demand + daily refreshCosmetic dentistry lead nurture
Patients who expressed interest in higher-value services (Invisalign, whitening, veneers, implants, smile makeover) receive scheduled educational follow-up, FAQs, before/after, financing options, consultation links.
BrainHandsInterest eventFinancing education
For larger treatment plans, automatically explains options (CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, HSA/FSA, in-house arrangements, phased treatment when appropriate). Reduces sticker-shock drop-off.
BrainHandsTreatment plan with cost above threshold
Insurance, billing & administrative
Removing the unpaid administrative tax from the practice.
Insurance verification
Pre-appointment, the system checks eligibility, deductible, annual maximum, remaining benefits, waiting periods, and coverage for the planned procedures. Organizes the result into a one-screen summary the team can verify at a glance.
EyesBrainMemoryAppointment scheduled, run 48h before visitPrior-authorization drafter
When a clinician orders a flagged medication, imaging, or procedure, the system pulls relevant chart sections, drafts the PA submission in the payer's required format, and queues for MA review.
EyesBrainMemoryHandsOrder signed in EHR~10 hours/week of MA time reclaimedOutstanding balance reminders
Patients with balances over a configurable threshold receive a friendly, branded reminder with a secure pay link. Reduces awkward manual collection calls.
BrainHandsWeekly cronRefill request triage
Inbound refill requests are triaged: chronic med within renewal window with no flagged labs → auto-drafted approval for clinician sign-off; needs labs first → message back to patient; out-of-norm → routed to clinician.
BrainMemoryRefill request received
Clinical documentation & post-visit
Reducing the after-hours documentation tax, under hard clinical-review boundary.
Clinical note drafter (with review)
Clinician records a 60-90 second voice memo after each session/visit. AI drafts a SOAP-format clinical note in the clinician's preferred phrasing. Clinician reviews and signs in the EHR. AI never auto-saves to the chart.
EyesBrainVoice memo upload5-7 hours/week per clinician reclaimedPre-op / post-op instruction sequence
After surgical or procedural appointments, a pre-built sequence handles pre-op fasting/prep instructions and post-op care, pain management, warning signs, suture removal, and follow-up scheduling.
NervousHandsProcedure scheduled / completedReview request automation
After successful appointments, sends a Google review request. Patients indicating dissatisfaction route internally first so the team can address privately before any public review attempt.
BrainHandsVisit completed + satisfaction signalReferral letter to referring provider
Specialty practices: AI auto-drafts the referral-back letter to the referring provider from the visit chart. Clinician reviews and signs in 60 seconds.
BrainHandsSpecialty visit completed
Practice intelligence
The practice-management layer the doctor or office manager actually has time for.
Daily huddle dashboard
Each morning, a one-screen briefing: patients today, new patients, open chair time, balances, insurance updates needed, unscheduled treatment, no-show risk, lab cases due, emergency openings, production goal vs scheduled.
MemoryHandsDaily 7am cronSchedule health monitor
Real-time dashboard of open chair time, cancellations, no-show risk, waitlist matches, hygiene openings, doctor production gaps. Lets the office manager intervene before the day breaks.

What the AI is allowed to do, and what it isn't
Honest compliance copy beats aspirational compliance copy. Below: the frameworks we're configured to support, the controls we ship with, and the explicit boundaries, actions the AI never takes without a human signing off.
HIPAA
Every patient interaction, voicemail, SMS, intake form, note draft, dashboard view, touches PHI. The platform must be HIPAA-aligned end-to-end.
- Business Associate Agreement (BAA) executed with the practice
- All PHI encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
- Audit log of every read / write to a patient record, retained 7 years
- Access controlled by role; minimum-necessary enforced
- All AI providers used hold their own BAAs (Anthropic enterprise, OpenAI enterprise, AWS)
- PHI never logged to plaintext system logs
- Configurable PHI redaction before any third-party model call
Boundary: AI never makes a diagnosis, never determines treatment, never communicates clinical decisions to patients without a clinician's explicit review and approval.
State dental / medical board rules
Many states regulate patient communications, electronic prescribing, and clinical documentation specifically for dental and medical practices.
- Communications templates reviewed for the practice's state-specific scope
- E-prescribing left to the EHR's existing rails, never replicated by AI
- Clinical-note templates configurable to state-required documentation standards
Boundary: We do not replace state-required clinical documentation. We assist clinicians in producing it faster.
SOC 2 Type II (platform-level)
Even when a practice doesn't ask for SOC 2, the underlying platform should meet it so the practice can answer 'yes' when their payer or referring hospital does.
- SOC 2 Type II audit on the underlying Supabase + Vercel + AWS infrastructure
- Quarterly access reviews
- Documented incident-response and breach-notification procedures
- Encrypted backups with documented recovery objectives
Decision authority
Healthcare is the most boundaried surface we work in. Anything that touches a clinical decision, a prescription, a diagnosis, or a sensitive patient communication is gated on human approval, not because AI couldn't draft it, but because the cost of a bad call is patient harm.
| Action | Decision | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Send appointment reminder | AI | Standardized, low-stakes operational communication. |
| Respond to missed call with scheduling SMS | AI | Operational, non-clinical. |
| Fill a cancelled hygiene slot with a waitlisted patient | AI | Books only into a slot the patient was already approved for. |
| Send treatment-plan follow-up message | AI with human approval | Clinical content adjacent, review by office manager / clinical assistant first. |
| Submit a prior-authorization to a payer | AI with human approval | MA reviews drafted submission and signs off before send. |
| Save a clinical note to the chart | Human only | AI drafts. Clinician reviews and signs. AI never writes to the chart. |
| Make a clinical recommendation to a patient | Human only | Always a clinician. AI never independently advises a patient on clinical matters. |
| Refund or write off a balance | Human only | Office manager / owner decision. AI may surface candidates. |
Pick one. Run it for a quarter. Prove it.
Each of these is a real, measurable pilot you can run with us over a single quarter, with explicit success criteria so the answer at the end is "yes, kept" or "no, scrapped," not "maybe."

We extend your stack, we don't replace it
Your firm has a system of record for a reason. We plug into it. The platform is the connective tissue between the systems you already pay for, not a competing system you have to migrate to.
Dentrix / Eaglesoft / Open Dental
PMS API + database readWe extend your dental PMS, we don't replace it. The PMS remains source of truth for scheduling, charting, and billing. We read events (cancellations, no-shows, completed visits, treatment plans) and write back appointments / status changes.
