Voice AI for Appointment Scheduling
An inbound voice agent that answers every scheduling call, checks availability, and writes the booking into your practice-management calendar — clearing the phone queue without voicemail.

The front desk can't answer every call
At peak hours the phone line is the bottleneck: callers wanting to book, reschedule, or cancel hit a queue or voicemail — each a lost appointment. This agent answers on the first ring, 24/7, checks availability in your practice-management system, offers open slots by provider and location, and writes the booking back with SMS confirmation. It warm-transfers anything it can't safely handle to staff.
Architecture
A telephony-to-calendar pipeline: ASR, intent and slot extraction, a real-time availability lookup against your scheduling API, and a rules-respecting write-back.
Key Capabilities
Concrete scheduling actions on the call, not a phone tree.
Natural inbound call handling
Streaming ASR transcribes callers and TTS responds conversationally — no rigid IVR menu.
Intent + slot extraction
Classifies book, reschedule, cancel, or question, then extracts provider, visit type, and date/time.
Real-time availability lookup
Queries open slots by provider, appointment type, and location through your scheduling API, honoring buffers and double-book rules.
Calendar write-back + reschedule
Books the slot as a FHIR R4 Appointment or native PM booking, with SMS/email confirmation and reschedule handling.
Safe hand-off
Clinical questions, new-patient complexity, or low ASR confidence warm-transfer to staff with transcript and details.

How It Works
From ringing phone to booked slot
Four stages: capture the call, check availability, book, and write back to the schedule of record.
1.
Capture the call
The agent answers, streams speech-to-text, and verifies caller identity before any scheduling detail.
ASR capture
2.
Understand + check availability
Intent and slot extraction resolve provider, type, and timing; a live query returns bookable slots.
Rules + guardrails
3.
Book the slot
The caller confirms an open time and the agent reserves it, releasing the prior slot on reschedules.
Action
4.
Write back + confirm
The booking posts to the PM/EHR calendar as a FHIR R4 Appointment, SMS/email confirmation fires, and the call is logged.
EHR write-back

Scheduling still touches PHI. Here's how we keep it safe.
PHI handling
Calls run under a signed BAA on HIPAA-ready infrastructure; recordings and transcripts encrypted, access-controlled, retained per policy.
Human-in-the-loop
Low-confidence turns, clinical questions, and complex bookings warm-transfer to staff, so the agent never guesses.
Explainability
Every booking links to the transcript segment and availability query behind it.
Audit logging
Each call, identity check, and calendar write is logged in an immutable, time-stamped audit trail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. It runs under a signed BAA on HIPAA-ready infrastructure, with call audio, transcripts, and identifiers encrypted, access-controlled, and audit-logged.
