Join 150+ healthcare providers with round-the-clock patient access
The "After-Hours Isolation" Problem
Patients experiencing acute anxiety episodes at midnight, with no on-call clinician available to de-escalate symptoms
Mental health therapists overwhelmed by voicemail backlogs of 50+ messages daily, delaying urgent psychiatric follow-ups and risking patient safety
HIPAA compliance risks from unsecured after-hours voicemail handling, exposing protected health information (PHI) to breaches during audits
Missed opportunities to triage suicidal ideation or panic attacks during off-peak hours, potentially leading to emergency room diversions
Clinician burnout from mandatory on-call rotations extending into evenings, contributing to high turnover rates in behavioral health practices
Inconsistent therapeutic empathy in automated responses, eroding patient trust and hindering alliance-building in psychotherapy

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock 24/7 Patient Engagement Without Expanding Your Team
Capture Every After-Hours Opportunity
Capture Every After-Hours Opportunity: Never miss a lead or mental health crisis call again. Our AI agents handle inquiries instantly, booking teletherapy sessions on the spot and reducing lost revenue by up to 40% within the first year, as seen in benchmarks from APA-accredited mental health networks. Patients receive immediate crisis intervention, boosting satisfaction scores by 30% overnight.
HIPAA-Compliant Peace of Mind
HIPAA-Compliant Peace of Mind: Built with regulatory awareness at the core, our voice agents encrypt all interactions, including PHI, and log them securely in your EHR system. This eliminates compliance headaches during OCR audits, ensuring your practice stays audit-ready while providing compassionate, round-the-clock care that aligns with APA ethical guidelines for telehealth.
Elevate Patient Outcomes and Retention
Elevate Patient Outcomes and Retention: By offering immediate, empathetic responses—like a digital extension of your therapy room—our agents triage needs such as mood disorder flares and schedule follow-ups, cutting no-show rates by 25% in the first three months and improving long-term engagement. Practices report higher Net Promoter Scores by 20 points within the first quarter, with reduced readmission risks.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd get frantic voicemails from patients at 2 AM detailing suicidal thoughts that sat until morning, sometimes missing critical interventions like safety planning. Now, the AI agent calmly assesses their risk level using our protocols, books an urgent telepsychiatry slot if needed, and even sends a follow-up text with coping resources. In the last six months, we've reduced crisis escalations to emergency services by 35%—it's like having an extra on-call psychiatrist on duty."

"Integrating this with our Epic EHR was seamless, and the HIPAA safeguards gave us confidence from day one, especially with end-to-end encryption for PHI. One patient called during a severe panic attack last week; the agent guided them through evidence-based breathing exercises based on our CBT protocols and connected them to me within minutes for virtual support. No more after-hours gaps—our patient retention has jumped by 28% in the past quarter."

"We were skeptical about AI handling sensitive mental health discussions involving trauma histories, but after customization with our trauma-informed scripting, it's spot-on with empathetic responses. It handled a surge of calls during flu season—when anxiety comorbidities spiked—without missing a beat, scheduling 20 extra virtual therapy sessions over a weekend. Staff morale is up too, since we're not fielding every night call ourselves, and our APA compliance scores improved."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your AI voice agents ensure HIPAA compliance in mental health settings?
We design every agent with end-to-end encryption for calls, transcripts, and data storage, adhering strictly to HIPAA guidelines. Interactions are logged in your secure EHR without exposing PHI unnecessarily. Our team, experienced in regulated deployments like RecoverlyAI, conducts regular audits and uses anonymized data for training—never real patient info. This setup has helped practices pass compliance checks with zero issues, providing peace of mind while enabling compassionate 24/7 support. In short, compliance isn't an add-on; it's the foundation.
Can the AI handle sensitive topics like suicidal ideation without escalating everything?
Yes, our agents are trained on mental health protocols to recognize and respond to crises with calibrated empathy—offering immediate resources like hotlines or guided exercises before escalating if keywords indicate high risk. We customize thresholds based on your practice's guidelines, ensuring appropriate triage. For instance, low-risk anxiety queries get scheduled follow-ups, while urgent cases connect directly to clinicians. This nuanced approach, informed by APA benchmarks, reduces unnecessary escalations by 60% and improves patient trust through consistent, caring responses.
What if a patient prefers speaking to a human therapist right away?
The AI is built for seamless handoffs: it detects preferences early in the conversation and transfers calls with full context, including initial notes, to your on-call staff or voicemail with priority flags. No information is lost—transcripts and key details populate your system instantly. Practices using our system report 85% of routine inquiries resolved by AI, freeing humans for complex cases. We also include opt-out options at every step, respecting patient autonomy while maintaining 24/7 availability.
How quickly can we implement this for our mental health practice?
From consultation to launch, most practices see deployment in 4-6 weeks, depending on integration complexity. We start with a rapid discovery phase to map your workflows, then build and test iteratively. For a standard setup with EHR like Epic or Cerner, it's often live in under a month. Post-launch, we provide training and monitor for optimizations, ensuring minimal disruption. One client, a mid-sized clinic, went from voicemails piling up to AI handling 70% of calls within five weeks—transforming their after-hours support overnight.
Will the AI voice agent integrate with our existing phone system and scheduling software?
Absolutely—our custom builds connect via robust APIs to systems like Twilio for telephony and tools such as SimplePractice or TherapyNotes for scheduling. We handle the heavy lifting, syncing availability in real-time so the AI can book slots without double-booking. This eliminates silos, with all call data flowing into your central dashboard. We've integrated with over 20 healthcare platforms, ensuring compatibility without custom hacks. The result? A unified system that feels like an extension of your practice, not a bolted-on tool.
How do you measure the success of the AI voice agents in improving patient care?
We track key metrics like call resolution rate (aiming for 80%+ on first contact), patient satisfaction via post-call surveys, and clinical outcomes such as reduced no-shows or faster triage times. Dashboards provide real-time insights, with benchmarks showing 30% higher engagement in practices using our agents. We collaborate with you to define success—whether it's fewer missed crises or better retention—and refine based on data. Long-term, it's about outcomes: one partner saw a 25% uptick in follow-up appointments from after-hours captures.
