Screening appointments booked. Pregnancy appointments booked. Acute concerns passed straight to the practice.
Gynecology practices are built on preventive routines, pregnancy care and acute complaints, and all three categories need different appointment logic. Your AI phone assistant sorts calls by your keywords, communicates sensitively, books pregnancy appointments at the correct frequency and sends a reminder before every booked appointment.
Notice under EU AI Act Article 50:The preset greeting says right at the start that an AI is speaking. If a transfer number is on file, the agent hands callers over to a person on request.How we use AI
What does the AI phone assistant do for gynecology practices?
The AI phone assistant for gynecology practices distinguishes three appointment categories: Acute (abdominal pain, unexplained bleeding, breast tension, miscarriage suspicion) with immediate slot within 24-48h, Pregnancy routine (every 4 weeks up to week 32, then every 2 weeks) with correctly calibrated follow-up appointments, Preventive routine (annual cancer screening from age 20, mammography from 50) with a reminder before the booked appointment. Sensitive topics are addressed empathetically without pressure.

Why gynecology practices need an AI agent.
12,979 gynaecologists take part in statutory outpatient care, 7,777 of them with their own licence. The calls spread across screening recalls, pregnancy care, acute complaints, self-pay services and follow-ups, and they all run through the same handset. The conversation on the phone is particularly sensitive: patients talk about pregnancy, fear of miscarriage, menopause, hormonal changes. An AI assistant has to respond with empathy, without pushing, and know the correct appointment frequency for each week of pregnancy. The assistant at reception is in the treatment room and on the phone at once, a structural peak-load problem in every gynaecology practice.
Acute complaints during pregnancy need 24-48h slot, not routine waiting time
Pregnancy appointments have different frequency per trimester (4 weeks → 2 weeks → weekly)
Sensitive communication (miscarriage, hormone consultation, menopause) needs empathy, not script answer
When a patient calls in week 28 saying she has bleeding, we need her within 24 hours. But at the same time 50 recall requests come in for cancer screening, and the phone is one person.
How the phone agent works for gynecology practices.
Your AI phone assistant sorts calls by your keywords into three categories. Stage 1 (Acute, 24-48h slot): unexplained bleeding, abdominal pain, breast tension with hardening, miscarriage suspicion, acute complaints during pregnancy. Keywords are conservatively evaluated, when in doubt, the patient gets an acute slot instead of routine waiting list. Stage 2 (Pregnancy routine): The agent knows the correct appointment frequency per trimester (every 4 weeks up to week 32 with an initial examination at the start, then every 2 weeks). On entering current pregnancy week, the next correct follow-up appointment is offered, no gaps in care plan. Stage 3 (Preventive routine): annual cancer screening appointment, mammography from 50, IGeL consultation with co-payment notice. A reminder is sent automatically before booked preventive appointments. Communication is empathetically calibrated: no forced booking attempts on sensitive topics like menopause consultation or involuntary childlessness, the agent offers a consultation slot without pressure.

How sensitively does the agent react to topics like miscarriage or childlessness?
You decide how the agent speaks about sensitive topics, and which terms are urgent. If a patient mentions a miscarriage or unexplained bleeding, for example, it offers a consultation appointment or puts the call through to the practice management.
Does the agent know the correct appointment frequency per pregnancy week?
Yes, based on the intervals you store. The German Maternity Guidelines generally provide for check-ups every four weeks, with two examinations a month in the last two months of pregnancy. When the patient gives her current week of pregnancy, the agent offers the follow-up appointment according to your settings.
Does it work with our practice management system (Tomedo, Medistar, T2med)?
The agent books appointments via Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or a calendar with CalDAV access, such as iCloud or Nextcloud. If your practice management system (such as Tomedo, Medistar, or T2med) has an open interface, we set up the connection with you. Alternatively, sync your PMS calendar with Google Calendar.
Frequently asked questions for gynecology practices.
You set the wording. If a patient mentions a term you have marked as urgent, such as miscarriage or menopause symptoms, the agent offers a consultation appointment or puts the call through to the practice management.
Keywords like unexplained bleeding during pregnancy, abdominal pain, no fetal movement, premature contractions count as acute if you store them that way, immediate slot within 24-48h or direct escalation to practice management/clinic. You set the keywords.
You store the check-up intervals, which under the Maternity Guidelines are generally every four weeks, and every two weeks in the last two months of pregnancy. The patient gives her week of pregnancy, and the agent books the matching follow-up appointment.
Before every booked preventive appointment the agent sends a reminder. It does not send invitations after 12 or 24 months. If the patient calls, the agent books directly into the next available routine slot.
The smallest allowance covers the front desk of a small practice. Mid-size practices with 250 calls a week need more; we work that out in the first call. An additional practice number is charged separately.
