Tools and services for patients and providers. Budgets are big and needs are urgent, but compliance (HIPAA and its relatives) and trust are the price of entry. The solo-friendly wins are administrative and workflow pains *around* care, intake, scheduling, documentation, not clinical risk you're not licensed to carry.

• AI Patient Intake & Scheduling for Independent Clinics

  An AI front-desk for small medical, dental, and specialty practices, handling appointment scheduling, patient intake forms, insurance pre-checks, reminders, and after-hours calls so a one- or two-person front desk isn't drowning. Cuts no-shows and admin load for practices the big EHR vendors underserve.
