Patients receive immediate, tailored guidance on what to expect from their first rehab session, including mobility expectations and home exercise previews, building trust from the start.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our evening inquiries about post-stroke rehab availability to voicemails that went unanswered until morning. Now, patients get instant confirmations for their next physical therapy session, including prep instructions for balance exercises, and our no-show rate for follow-up appointments dropped from 15% to 7% in just two months. It's been a game-changer for our small outpatient clinic."
Dr. Sarah Kline
Owner and Lead Physical Therapist, Riverside Outpatient Physical Therapy Clinic
"Integrating this with our Epic EMR system was seamless, and the built-in HIPAA safeguards, including secure PHI handling, gave us the confidence to roll it out clinic-wide. One patient even thanked us for the quick response to their acute shoulder pain query at midnight, providing interim icing and elevation advice—something we couldn't have done manually. Patient retention for ongoing orthopedic rehab is up 22% since implementation."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Apex Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center
"We were skeptical about AI handling sensitive rehab questions on chronic pain management or adaptive equipment, but after three months of use, it's resolved 70% of routine inquiries—like clarifying TENS unit usage or exercise form—without staff involvement. Billing questions on therapy copays that used to pile up overnight are now handled proactively with eligibility checks, saving our team 10 hours each week on administrative follow-ups."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot ensure HIPAA compliance in patient interactions?
Our chatbot is engineered with end-to-end encryption for all messages, secure data storage compliant with HIPAA's HITECH requirements, and automated logging of every interaction for audit trails. We conduct regular penetration testing and align with NIST frameworks, ensuring sensitive details like treatment histories remain protected. Unlike generic tools, we customize access controls to your clinic's role-based permissions, preventing unauthorized views. Clinics we've partnered with have passed HIPAA audits flawlessly, with zero incidents reported over 2+ years of deployment.
Can it integrate with our existing electronic medical records system?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular EMRs like WebPT, Epic, or Cerner, allowing the chatbot to access non-sensitive patient data in real-time for accurate responses. For instance, it can check availability or confirm referral status without manual input. Our custom APIs handle this securely, reducing errors by 40% in therapy scheduling. The setup takes just 2-4 weeks, and we provide ongoing monitoring to adapt as your EMR updates.
What types of patient queries can the chatbot handle effectively?
It's trained to manage common physical therapy scenarios, from booking initial evaluations and rescheduling sessions to answering questions on home exercises, pain management tips, or post-op care instructions. For example, a patient asking about ACL recovery timelines gets a tailored response based on your protocols. Complex cases, like customizing a plan for chronic back pain, escalate seamlessly to your staff. This covers 75% of routine inquiries, freeing your team for high-value interactions while maintaining a patient-centric tone.
How quickly can we see results after implementation?
Most clinics notice immediate impact: response times drop to seconds, capturing after-hours leads that previously vanished. Within the first month, expect 20-30% more appointment bookings from resolved inquiries. Full ROI, including reduced no-shows and staff time savings, materializes in 60-90 days. We track this via a custom dashboard showing metrics like engagement rates and conversion to visits. One partner saw a 15% revenue lift in quarter one, directly from 24/7 availability.
Is the chatbot customizable to our clinic's specific workflows?
Yes, it's built entirely around your operations—not a one-size-fits-all template. We map your intake processes, therapy specialties (like sports rehab or geriatric care), and branding into the AI's logic. This includes unique phrasing for responses and triggers for escalations, such as flagging urgent mobility issues. Our iterative process involves your input at every stage, ensuring it fits like a custom orthotic. Scalability is baked in, handling growth from 50 to 500 patients without rework.
What happens if the chatbot can't resolve a patient's issue?
We've designed intelligent handoffs: if a query exceeds its scope—like needing a live assessment of gait analysis—the chatbot politely escalates to your on-call staff via integrated messaging or email alerts. This includes full conversation context for quick pickup. In practice, only 15-20% of interactions require human intervention, and those resolve 50% faster thanks to pre-sorted details. It's like having a reliable triage nurse, ensuring no patient feels dismissed.
