When fully deployed, Nicole fills 79% of cancellations detected and takes an average of 3 minutes to fill an appointment. Therapists using Nicole see a 194% increase in cancellations filled.

Company Launches

The Problem

Clinics do a lot of phone calls— booking appointments, following up after a visit, reminding patients of a visit, verifying insurance, calling referring providers, etc. These calls prevent staff from interacting with patients, building relationships with families, and completing clinical documentation.

In specialties like physical therapy, some clinicians just let the phone ring out if they’re seeing a patient, resulting in unhappy patients and lost revenue.

The Solution

Our AI assistants handle any phone call that involves a repetitive task, so clinicians can focus on helping patients.

We don’t ask clinics to rip out any technology to use our agents. That means we integrate with fax machines, EHRs, and existing phone systems.

Our Background

Shawn Shivdat (CEO) grew up helping his mom in her private practice and built software at Massachusetts General Hospital while studying Computational Neuroscience at Harvard.

💥 The Deal

For clinics, startups, and systems who work with us before Demo Day, we’ll integrate with existing systems (including EHRs) for free.
