What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose half our evening calls to voicemails that went unanswered, especially for urgent respite care requests. Now, the chatbot handles scheduling for home health aide visits right away, even at 10 PM, and we've seen a 28% increase in patient enrollments for our post-surgical program over six months. It's like having an extra coordinator on shift 24/7."

Director of Nursing Operations, ComfortCare Home Health Agency
"Integrating this with our Epic EHR was seamless, and the HIPAA safeguards gave us peace of mind during our last CMS audit. One family praised how it quickly addressed their mom's post-op pain management query at 2 AM, providing tailored instructions that prevented an unnecessary ER trip. Response times dropped from hours to under 2 minutes—game-changer for our small team handling dementia care."
Dr. Alan Rivera
Chief Medical Officer, ElderAid Home Healthcare Services
"We were skeptical about AI in home health, but this custom build understands our protocols for diabetic foot care follow-ups and insulin titration guidance. In the first quarter, it resolved 65% of routine inquiries independently, like medication reminders, letting nurses focus on high-acuity cases such as wound debridement. Revenue from retained patients with chronic conditions jumped 22%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your chatbot ensure HIPAA compliance in home healthcare?
HIPAA compliance is baked into our core architecture. We use end-to-end encryption for all patient communications, store data in SOC 2-compliant servers, and maintain detailed audit trails of every interaction. For home agencies, this means secure handling of sensitive details like medication lists or family contact info without exposing PHI. We've audited our systems against OCR guidelines, and in deployments, zero compliance issues have arisen. Unlike generic bots, ours is custom-trained to recognize and redact protected info automatically, giving you peace of mind during JACHO reviews or state inspections. This patient-centric design not only meets regs but enhances trust, as families know their data is fortified like a locked medical chart.
Can the chatbot integrate with our existing EHR system?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular EHRs like Epic, Cerner, or MatrixCare used in home health. Our engineers map your workflows—say, pulling visit histories for follow-up questions or updating care plans in real-time. This eliminates manual entry, reducing errors by up to 50%. For one agency, we synced with their system to auto-populate patient profiles during chats, cutting response times from 10 minutes to under 30 seconds. It's not superficial; we build robust APIs that scale with your growth, ensuring the chatbot feels like an extension of your team, not a bolted-on tool.
What happens when a query is too complex for the AI to handle?
Our chatbot is designed for intelligent handoffs. If it detects complexity—like a nuanced discussion on wound dressing changes or emotional support needs—it seamlessly transfers to your on-call staff via integrated channels like SMS or your internal messaging system. We train it on escalation triggers based on your protocols, resolving 75% of routine inquiries independently while flagging the rest. In practice, this has reduced after-hours disruptions for nurses by 40%, as the bot provides context summaries during transfers. It's like a skilled triage nurse: efficient, aware, and always prioritizing patient safety without overwhelming your team.
How quickly can we deploy this for our agency?
Deployment is streamlined for speed without sacrificing quality. After our initial discovery call, we prototype in 2-4 weeks, followed by testing and full launch in 6-8 weeks total. This includes customizing for your specific challenges, like handling inquiries for hospice transitions. We've rolled out for similar agencies in under a month by leveraging our in-house frameworks, ensuring minimal downtime. Post-launch, we provide training and monitor for optimizations, so your team is up to speed fast. The result? Immediate 24/7 coverage that captures leads you might otherwise lose.
Is the chatbot suitable for elderly patients or non-tech-savvy users?
Yes, we optimize for accessibility in home health contexts. The interface uses simple, empathetic language—think clear prompts like "Tell me about your pain level today"—and supports voice input for those with dexterity issues. We've incorporated larger text and read-aloud features, drawing from guidelines for geriatric care. In one deployment, 80% of users over 70 completed interactions without assistance, praising the "friendly nurse" feel. It's patient-centric, reducing frustration and encouraging ongoing engagement, much like a bedside manner translated to digital.
What kind of analytics does the chatbot provide?
Our solution includes a custom dashboard with healthcare-specific metrics: average response time, resolution rates, peak inquiry hours (vital for staffing flu season surges), and patient sentiment trends. You can track outcomes like reduced no-show rates from better scheduling confirmations. Integrated with your KPIs, it shows ROI—e.g., how many prevented readmissions stemmed from timely advice. Agencies use this to refine protocols, with one reporting a 25% drop in emergency callbacks after analyzing patterns in medication queries. It's enterprise-grade insight, owned by you, not buried in a vendor portal.
