AI-Powered Patient Intake & Diabetic Recalls for Foot Care Clinics
Stop losing high-value diabetic patients to busy signals. Our AI handles complex scheduling, insurance verification, and orthotic follow-ups while syncing directly with Jane App or Cliniko.
Foot care clinics operate on a high-frequency recall model where the average patient is worth $1,500 to $3,000 annually. However, the administrative burden of managing diabetic foot care cycles (typically every 6-8 weeks) and custom orthotic fittings often leads to significant revenue leakage. For many chiropodists, the front desk is overwhelmed by elderly patients who prefer phone interactions but often call after hours or during peak treatment times.
Read Laboratories deploys AI chatbots specifically tuned for podiatric workflows. Unlike generic bots, our systems understand the difference between a routine nail trim, a biomechanical assessment, and an urgent diabetic ulcer concern. By integrating directly with EMRs like Jane App and Cliniko, we ensure that every inquiry is converted into a scheduled appointment or a high-quality lead, capturing revenue that would otherwise be lost to your competitors.
Problems We Solve
Missed Diabetic Recalls
Diabetic patients require strict 60-day maintenance cycles. Our AI identifies patients due for care and proactively engages them to book, preventing 'patient drift' and ensuring consistent clinic revenue.
Orthotic Follow-up Friction
Custom orthotics have a high abandonment rate if not adjusted properly. The AI automates the 2-week and 3-month follow-up check-ins, ensuring patient satisfaction and reducing the risk of refund requests.
After-Hours Lead Loss
Elderly patients often think about their health in the evening. Our AI captures these inquiries at 9 PM, answering questions about insurance coverage and booking them into your morning slots while you sleep.
Manual Insurance Verification
Free up your front desk by letting the AI collect insurance details and photos of cards upfront, allowing your staff to verify coverage before the patient even walks through the door.
High No-Show Rates
The AI uses persistent, multi-channel reminders and allows patients to easily reschedule via chat, significantly reducing the 15-20% no-show rate common in podiatric practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my elderly patients actually use a chatbot?
Yes. We design interfaces with high-contrast buttons and simple language. For those who prefer calling, our AI can also power your phone system to provide the same automated scheduling experience via voice.
Is the chatbot HIPAA compliant?
Absolutely. Read Laboratories signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and ensures all data transmission and storage meets HIPAA and state licensing requirements.
How does it integrate with Jane App or Cliniko?
We use secure API keys to pull your real-time availability. When a patient books through the bot, the appointment appears instantly in your EMR just like a manual entry.
Can it distinguish between a routine trim and an emergency?
Yes. We program specific 'red flag' keywords (e.g., 'discoloration', 'numbness', 'fever'). If a patient mentions these, the AI immediately escalates the case to your clinical staff.
How long does the setup take?
Most foot care clinics are live within 14 to 21 days, including the time required for custom workflow mapping and EMR integration testing.
Does this replace my front desk staff?
No. It augments them. It handles the repetitive 'What are your hours?' and 'I need to reschedule' tasks so your staff can focus on in-clinic patient care and complex billing issues.
