Post-Op Follow-Up Automation for Healthcare

Let your AI agent handle patient check-ins, highlight urgent recovery issues, and prep EMR updates. Free up your time for patient care instead of paperwork.

If you're a nurse or physician, you spend hours every week tracking post-surgery patients in Excel, drafting emails, and updating Epic or Cerner records. The manual process is overwhelming—especially when juggling dozens of cases. Missed messages or overlooked complications can lead to poor outcomes and extra stress.

An AI agent that automates post-surgical patient check-ins, summarizes recovery feedback, and prepares updates for medical records so healthcare providers can focus on clinical care.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In hospitals and clinics, nurses and surgeons spend 1.7 hours each week drafting post-op check-in emails, reading patient replies in Outlook, and entering updates into Epic or Cerner. The repetitive admin work adds up, causing fatigue and increasing the risk of missing urgent recovery issues. As patient volume grows, manual follow-up becomes unsustainable, leading to delayed responses and errors.

If you keep ignoring it
