Why Choose Us
Imagine your clinic as a well-tuned therapy session—precise, adaptive, and always responsive. At AIQ Labs, we craft custom customer support chatbots from the ground up, integrating seamlessly with your EHR system like Epic or Cerner. Unlike off-the-shelf templates, our bots are trained on your specific protocols, from post-op care instructions to insurance verification. They're HIPAA-compliant by design, using encrypted channels to safeguard PHI. Short on time? We handle the heavy lifting. Your chatbot becomes an extension of your team, available 24/7 to guide patients through exercises, book sessions, or answer FAQs, ensuring no lead slips through the cracks.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Patient Care
Never Miss a Booking Opportunity
Patients often research post-surgical recovery or chronic pain therapies late at night or on weekends. Our chatbot responds instantly, qualifying leads with HIPAA-secure intake forms and scheduling virtual or in-person intakes—capturing 25% more appointments that would otherwise vanish into voicemail, as seen in a 6-month pilot at a multi-specialty clinic.
HIPAA-Compliant Peace of Mind
Built with regulatory expertise from certified HIPAA consultants, our system encrypts all protected health information (PHI) interactions end-to-end and logs access with audit trails. Clinics report zero compliance issues over two years, freeing you to focus on patient care rather than audits, while maintaining trust through secure handling of sensitive medical data.
Boost Satisfaction and Retention
Instant answers to questions about post-treatment recovery timelines, medication interactions, or session preparation protocols lead to higher patient engagement. One cardiology clinic saw Net Promoter Scores rise by 40 points within four months, turning one-time visitors into loyal patients who adhere to follow-up care and refer others.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose weekend inquiries about physical therapy exercises left and right—patients just didn't wait for Monday. Now, it's booking initial evaluations while we sleep, and our no-show rate for orthopedic sessions dropped from 18% to under 10% in three months. It's like having an extra staff member who never tires and always follows HIPAA protocols."
Dr. Emily Carter
Owner, Restore Therapy Clinic
"Integrating this with our EHR system like Epic was seamless, and the HIPAA setup with role-based access controls gave us full confidence during our last Joint Commission audit. Patients love the quick responses to questions about home exercise programs; we've even gotten feedback on how it feels personal, not robotic, boosting our patient satisfaction surveys."
Dr. Michael Rivera, Practice Manager
Practice Manager, Active Rehab Center, specializing in post-stroke rehabilitation
"We were skeptical about AI handling sensitive patient info like injury histories, but AIQ customized it perfectly for our sports therapy focus with tailored response flows. Response times are under 5 seconds even during peak hours, and it's cut our front desk calls about appointment availability by half—freeing staff time for hands-on therapy and reducing burnout."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot ensure HIPAA compliance?
Our custom chatbots are engineered with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and audit trails for every interaction involving PHI. We use secure APIs that align with HIPAA standards, and all data storage complies with HITECH requirements. Unlike generic tools, we conduct a full compliance audit during development, training the AI to recognize and protect sensitive info like injury details or treatment histories. Clinics using our system have passed external audits without issues, maintaining patient trust while handling thousands of queries monthly.
Can it integrate with our existing physical therapy software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with platforms like WebPT, Jane App, or custom EHRs. The chatbot pulls real-time data for scheduling availability or patient records, then pushes updates back seamlessly—no more double-entry errors that plague 70% of manual workflows. For instance, if a patient asks about open slots for manual therapy, it checks your calendar instantly and books it, confirming via secure link. This custom fit reduces admin time by up to 40%, letting therapists focus on hands-on care.
What happens if a patient needs to speak with a human?
The chatbot is designed for smooth escalation. It qualifies the inquiry first—say, distinguishing a simple scheduling question from a urgent post-op concern—then transfers to your on-call staff via integrated messaging or voice handoff. In testing with therapy clinics, 85% of interactions resolve without escalation, but when needed, it's instant, preserving the patient-centric feel. We also log the conversation context, so your team picks up right where the AI left off, ensuring continuity in care.
How quickly can we get this up and running?
From consultation to launch, most physical therapy clinics see a fully operational chatbot in 4-6 weeks. We start with a rapid discovery phase to map your workflows, then build and test iteratively. Unlike lengthy enterprise deployments, our agile approach includes beta testing with sample patient scenarios, like booking for sports rehab. Post-launch, we provide training and monitor for the first two weeks, achieving 95% uptime from day one. This speed addresses the common gap where clinics lose weeks to after-hours voids.
Will the chatbot handle specialized physical therapy questions?
Yes, we train it on your clinic's specifics— from orthopedic protocols to vestibular rehab FAQs—using your own resources like intake forms and care guides. It can explain modalities like ultrasound therapy or suggest pre-visit prep, drawing from evidence-based responses. For example, if a patient inquires about ACL recovery timelines, it provides tailored info while flagging for a follow-up call. This patient education feature has increased satisfaction in our deployments, with clinics noting 25% fewer clarification calls.
What kind of support do you offer after launch?
We provide comprehensive post-launch support, including monthly performance reviews and AI retraining based on interaction data. If query volumes spike during flu season, we optimize for efficiency. Access to our dedicated healthcare team means quick resolutions—typically within 24 hours—for any tweaks, like adding new therapy services. This ongoing partnership ensures the chatbot evolves with your practice, maintaining its edge in delivering 24/7, regulatory-aware support without the hassle of managing updates yourself.
