The problem

Your phone is where patients give up

Front desks are stretched thin. Calls go to voicemail during lunch, after 5pm, and every time your staff is with a patient at the counter. Most callers who hit voicemail don't leave a message. They call the next practice on the list.

A traditional medical answering service only takes messages — it does nothing for no-show reduction or after-hours booking. Patients want to book, not wait for a callback.

42%

of inbound calls to medical practices go unanswered

$6,000+

lifetime value of one new patient lost to a missed call

24/7

when patients actually call: evenings, weekends, and on their commute

Industry benchmarks: a 7,000-call study across 22 medical practices found 42% of calls went unanswered, and 85% of callers who can't reach a practice on the first try never call back. Dental industry estimates put one patient's lifetime value at $6,000–$10,000+.

What Pulse does

One AI front desk. Four jobs it never drops.

Pulse is an AI receptionist for medical clinics, dental practices, and pharmacies.

Answer every call

A natural-voice AI receptionist picks up in under two seconds, around the clock. It handles hours, directions, insurance questions, and routing, and transfers to your staff the moment a caller needs a human.

Book and reschedule appointments

Pulse checks real availability and books directly into your calendar, practice management system, or EHR. Rescheduling and cancellations update your systems instantly, with no double entry.

Run patient intake

New patients complete intake by voice or a secure link before they arrive. Structured answers land in your systems, not in a pile of PDFs.

Cut no-shows

Automated confirmations, reminders, and same-day recovery calls fill the gaps in your schedule and win back missed appointments.

And the part most AI vendors can't do: we wire all of it into the systems you already run, because we are healthcare backend engineers first.

How it works

Live in two to three weeks

Most appointment booking AI stops at a calendar link. Pulse goes live against the systems your practice actually runs.

Map your front desk (week 1)

A 20-minute call, then we script your greetings, FAQs, booking rules, and escalation paths with your office manager. You approve every word the AI can say.

Build and connect (weeks 1–2)

We stand up your agent, connect your phone number, and integrate your calendar, PMS, or EHR. You test it on a private line until it feels right.

Go live and improve (week 3+)

We flip it on with full call logs and transcripts in your dashboard. Every month we review real calls with you and tune the agent.

Built for healthcare

HIPAA-aware from the first line of code

Pulse is engineered like the healthcare platforms we build, not like a chatbot demo. We minimize what the AI ever hears or stores, keep PHI out of places it doesn't belong, and make every conversation auditable.

  • PHI minimization and redaction by design
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Full call logs and audit trails
  • Clear escalation: clinical questions always route to your staff
  • The AI never diagnoses or gives medical advice
  • GDPR-aware for UK/EU practices
Track record

We already run production healthcare systems

LifeRx.md — telemedicine at scale

The Code Khalaq team engineered and operates platform infrastructure behind LifeRx.md, a US telemedicine provider, including pharmacy platform integrations and patient, staff, and provider portals — the same category of systems Pulse connects to.

Pulse's patient intake automation and EHR-connected booking are built with that same discipline, not as experiments.

FAQ

Questions practice owners ask us

No. Pulse handles scheduling, intake, and administrative questions only. Anything clinical is routed to your staff by warm transfer or message, following escalation rules you approve.

It transfers to your team during business hours and takes a structured message after hours, then notifies your staff instantly. You define the rules; the AI never dead-ends a patient.

If your system has an API or an integration path, we can connect it — that's our core engineering skill. If it doesn't, we build reliable workarounds like calendar-layer booking with daily sync.

Most single-location practices go live in two to three weeks, including a private testing period on a test number before your real line switches over.

We engineer for HIPAA alignment: PHI minimization, encryption, audit logs, and BAA-ready infrastructure choices, and we'll walk your compliance officer through the exact data flows on the scoping call. We'll never overclaim a certification that doesn't exist.

A flat monthly plan covers hosting, call minutes within your tier, monitoring, and tuning. Your exact number depends on call volume — you'll get a precise quote on the scoping call, and there are no per-seat fees.
