AI Telephony · Medical Practice

A phone assistant for your medical practice that answers every call.

NordFlux builds AI phone assistants that schedule appointments, record prescription and referral requests in a structured way, and immediately point to 112 or 116117 when they hear emergency keywords. Your medical assistants spend less time on the phone and keep an eye on the front desk again. Hosted in the EU, with a data processing agreement and data minimisation.

The problem

At eight o'clock on Monday morning, your front desk cannot be on the phone and receive patients at the same time.

Two lines are ringing, the queue is building at the desk, and the medical assistant has to decide by the second who has to wait. It is in exactly these hours that calls are lost, which later cause double the work.

  • 01At the start of the quarter and from 8 a.m. on Mondays, more calls come in than two lines and one medical assistant can handle.
  • 02Patients wait in the queue, hang up and try again later: the same appointment triggers three calls.
  • 03Prescription and referral requests come in on the fly and end up on scraps of paper instead of in the system.
  • 04Whoever is standing at the desk has to wait while someone is on the phone: the front desk is the bottleneck for both sides.
Use cases
01

How to take the load off your practice phone in concrete terms.

The assistant handles the types of calls that make up most of the volume. Whatever it does not resolve, it hands over cleanly to your team.

01

Schedule and reschedule appointments

The assistant knows your consultation hours and appointment rules, offers free slots and enters bookings directly into the practice calendar. It also takes reschedulings and cancellations, even in the evening and at the weekend.

Saving 2–3 h per day on the phone
02

Record prescription and referral requests

Name, date of birth, medication or specialist: the assistant asks in a structured way and produces a clean list instead of paper chaos. Your medical assistant processes the requests in a batch, whenever it fits the workflow.

Impact no more lost notes
03

Answer questions about opening hours, holidays and cover

The assistant answers routine questions about consultation hours, holiday cover or how to prepare for an examination from a maintained knowledge base. These calls no longer reach your medical assistants at all.

Impact routine calls without staff
04

Detect emergencies and forward them immediately

At keywords such as chest pain or shortness of breath, the assistant interrupts the conversation with a clear message: 112 in a life-threatening situation, 116117 for the on-call service. It puts urgent cases straight through to the practice according to your rules. It never makes a diagnosis.

Impact a clear message in seconds
05

A callback list instead of missed calls

Everything the assistant does not resolve conclusively lands as a structured note with the request and callback number with your team. Your medical assistant calls back in a batch instead of jumping to the ringing phone all day long.

Impact no call gets lost
Solution approaches

An AI phone assistant for a medical practice consists of three building blocks.

Speech understanding, practice knowledge and the connection to your systems work together. We define each building block together with you, so that you stay in control.

Voice agent
AI telephony

The assistant answers calls speaking naturally and follows fixed rules that you define. It makes no diagnoses and does not replace a medical assessment, but records, books and forwards.

Practice knowledge
AI knowledge assistant

Opening hours, services, notes on preparing for an examination: the assistant answers only from a knowledge base approved by you. Whatever is not in there, it does not answer, instead of making something up.

Integration
n8n as a data hub

n8n connects the assistant with your calendar and practice management system and transfers only the data needed for each step. This is data minimisation in practice, running on EU servers.

How we work

The 30-day model.

From the initial analysis to a running assistant in 30 days, at a fixed price instead of open-ended timesheets.

1

Free initial analysis

In 60 minutes we look at your call volume, your appointment logic and your practice software. You find out honestly what an assistant can take on for you and what it cannot.

2

Concept and fixed price

We define which types of call the assistant handles, how emergency messages and forwarding work, and what the data protection concept with a data processing agreement looks like. On top of that, you receive a fixed-price offer.

3

Build and test

We build the assistant, connect the calendar and handover lists and test real call flows with your team. We check the emergency detection particularly thoroughly.

4

Go-live and fine-tuning

The assistant goes live step by step, for example first outside consultation hours. After 30 days it runs in everyday practice, and your team knows how to adjust messages and rules itself.

Beyond the practice

AI telephony is not just for medical practices.

Constant ringing is also familiar to trade businesses, law firms and workshops. On the overview page you can see how an AI phone assistant answers, qualifies and forwards calls in other industries.

Frequently asked questions
05

What practice teams often ask.

Dürfen wir Gesundheitsdaten von einer KI am Telefon aufnehmen lassen?

Ja, wenn der Rahmen stimmt: Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (AVV), Hosting in der EU und konsequente Datenminimierung. Der Assistent erfasst nur die Angaben, die für Termin oder Rezeptwunsch nötig sind, und speichert nicht mehr als vereinbart. Das Konzept dokumentieren wir so, dass es zu Ihren Datenschutz-Unterlagen passt.

Was passiert, wenn ein Patient mit einem Notfall anruft?

Bei Notfall-Stichworten gibt der Assistent sofort eine klare Ansage: 112 bei Lebensgefahr, 116117 für den ärztlichen Bereitschaftsdienst, und dringende Fälle stellt er direkt in die Praxis durch. Er stellt keine Diagnosen und trifft keine medizinische Einschätzung. Welche Stichworte und Weiterleitungen gelten, legen Sie gemeinsam mit uns fest.

Kann eine KI-Telefonassistenz unsere MFA wirklich entlasten?

Ja, weil Termine, Rezeptwünsche und Öffnungszeiten erfahrungsgemäß den Großteil der Anrufe ausmachen und genau diese Anrufarten der Assistent übernimmt. Ihre MFA telefoniert nur noch dort, wo ein Mensch gebraucht wird, und hat den Tresen wieder im Blick. Verpasste Anrufe und Rückruf-Zettel entfallen weitgehend.

Funktioniert das mit unserer Praxissoftware?

In den meisten Fällen ja: Wo Ihre Praxisverwaltung eine Schnittstelle bietet, bucht der Assistent direkt in den Kalender. Ohne Schnittstelle arbeitet er mit strukturierten Termin- und Aufgabenlisten, die Ihre MFA im gewohnten System abarbeitet. Was bei Ihnen möglich ist, klären wir in der kostenlosen Erstanalyse.

Was kostet ein KI-Telefonassistent für die Arztpraxis?

Ein KI-Telefonassistent für die Arztpraxis wird zum Festpreis umgesetzt, dessen Höhe vom Umfang abhängt: Anrufarten, Anbindung an die Praxissoftware und gewünschte Sprachen bestimmen den Aufwand. Nach der kostenlosen Erstanalyse erhalten Sie diesen Festpreis, keine offenen Stundenzettel. Die Umsetzung dauert typischerweise 30 Tage.
