Medical Triage Voice AI Agent
Live Call
What I Built
Designed and deployed a voice-based medical triage AI agent that answers patient phone calls, collects intake information, verifies insurance, and schedules appointments through natural, real-time conversations.
How It's Used
The AI agent handles inbound patient calls end-to-end, reducing front desk load while routing structured, verified information to clinical and administrative staff when human follow up is required.
Impact
Automated phone-based patient intake and appointment scheduling using a voice AI agent, reducing reliance on staff-led call handling.
Enabled seamless patient interactions via SIP telephony integration (Twilio).
Implemented a HIPAA-compliant system architecture to securely process protected health information.
Delivered real-time insurance verification, improving scheduling accuracy and reducing manual processing.
Automated structured email handoffs to staff, streamlining back-office workflows.
Key Engineering Challenges
Integrating multiple AI services (OpenAI LLM, Deepgram STT, Cartesia TTS) into a real-time agentic voice framework using LiveKit Agents.
Designing low latency conversational flows that balance data accuracy with natural patient interaction.
Building reliable SIP telephony infrastructure with error handling and call-quality safeguards.
Implementing real-time insurance and scheduling integrations without blocking voice interactions.
Designing and validating a HIPAA-compliant voice pipeline for live PHI handling.
Problem
Healthcare phone-based intake and scheduling remains manual, fragmented, and resource intensive, creating long hold times, staff burnout, and inconsistent patient experiences.
