AI receptionist for physiotherapy clinics: your phone answered while you treat

Voani answers your physiotherapy clinic's phone while you've got a patient on the treatment couch: it answers on session and package prices, opening hours and whether you do home visits, and notes down every appointment with the day and time they'd prefer. It doesn't confirm the appointment: your team does.

What it does at your clinic

  • Answers the most common questions: the price of a session and of packages, whether you do home visits and what they cost, opening hours, where you are and where to park, and whether you work with health insurers, if it's on your website.
  • Notes down every appointment: whether it's an initial assessment or a follow-up, at the clinic or at home, the day and time of day they'd prefer, the name and the phone number.
  • Takes changes and cancellations, with the name and the day of the appointment, so you can change it yourselves.
  • Picks up calls when you're out, on a home visit or with the clinic closed, and leaves you a summary of each message.

Rules for your clinic

The dashboard has ideas for clinics that you add with one click:

  • When someone says they're in a lot of pain or that it's urgent → tell them to call emergency services if it's serious, and take their number so they're called back right away.
  • When they ask the price of a treatment that isn't in your document → say it depends on the assessment and offer to book an appointment to look at it.
  • When they want to change or cancel their appointment → ask for their name and the day of the appointment, and say it will be confirmed.

And two that often come in handy in physiotherapy:

  • When they ask about an injury or which exercises to do → say the physiotherapist will assess it in the first session and offer an appointment.
  • When it's about a road traffic accident or a health insurer → note only the insurer, with no further details.

Each patient's details

As well as the name, the phone number, the reason and their preferred date, you ask for the details that are useful to you, up to five of your own: first visit or follow-up, clinic or home, whether it's through a health insurer or an accident, the time of day or the physiotherapist they prefer. Physiotherapy is healthcare: a general reason (“the knee”, “the back”) is better than a detailed description of the injury.

Your data is stored on a server in Spain; the voice and the AI use external providers (some in the US) only to process each call. You can switch off your agent's recording, choose how long written conversations are kept (1, 3, 6 or 12 months) and request the data processing agreement.

What it would cost you

0.13 € per minute of conversation, VAT included and billed by the second. An example to give you an idea: 15 calls a day lasting 2 minutes, 22 days a month, come to 660 minutes: 85.80 € a month. If you work on your own and get few calls, you only pay for those. You start with 20 free minutes, no card needed.

What it doesn't do yet

  • Book the appointment into your diary: it doesn't connect to your practice management software or to calendars; it notes it down and your team confirms it.
  • Send appointment reminders or let patients know their package is running out.
  • Connect to the clinic's phone: coming very soon. Today you create it and try it from your browser.

Example call

Physiotherapy clinic

CustomerHi, how much is the package of five sessions? And do you do home visits?

AgentThe package of five sessions is 175 € and yes, we do home visits in the city for 10 € extra per session. Shall I note you down for an initial assessment?

CustomerYes, for my father, who's 80. It's for his knee. Mornings would be better.

AgentI'll note that: an initial home assessment for his knee, in the morning. Could you give me his name and a contact number?

CustomerManuel Ortega, and the number is 644 222 111.

This is an example: each agent answers with what its business tells it.

Frequently asked questions

Can it book appointments into my diary?

No: it notes down the appointment with the name, the phone number, whether it's a first visit or a follow-up and the day they'd prefer, and says your team will confirm it. It doesn't connect to practice management software or calendars yet.

Does it give advice on injuries or exercises?

It answers with what it knows about your clinic. To make it offer an appointment instead of giving an opinion on an injury, you tell it with a rule: “When they ask about an injury or which exercises to do → say the physiotherapist will assess it in the first session”.

Does it know my prices and packages?

Yes, if they're on your website or in a PDF you upload: the AI puts them in its document. If it's asked about something that isn't there, it doesn't make it up: it notes it down for you to answer.

Does it note whether it's through a health insurer or an accident?

If you ask for it as a call detail, yes: it can note whether it's through a health insurer or an accident, and the insurer, without going into further detail.

Does it work for me if I work alone and do home visits?

Yes. It picks up calls while you're with a patient or on the road, and leaves you a summary of each one so you can call back. As you pay by the minute, with no monthly fee, you only pay for the time it talks.

How much does it cost?

0.13 € per minute of conversation, VAT included, billed by the second. You start with 20 free minutes, no card needed, and no commitment.
