Hallo Marco for medical practices
AI phone assistant for medical practices
Marco answers calls when everyone at reception is busy: appointment requests, prescription requests, questions about opening hours. He gives no medical information; that stays with your team.
Typical requests
What reaches medical practices by phone.
-
Appointment request
Marco asks for the reason and preferred time and books into your calendar. Without a connected calendar he takes down the request and your team confirms.
-
Prescription or referral
Marco takes name, date of birth and the request. It lands in your callback list.
-
Opening hours, directions, what to bring
Marco answers from your knowledge, for example what to bring to a first appointment.
-
Questions about test results
No information on the phone. Marco notes a callback request for the practice.

Acute symptoms

Not an emergency line

Medical confidentiality and health data
Health data is specially protected, and your practice is bound by medical confidentiality. Before Marco answers calls for you, we agree which details he asks for and which he doesn’t, and we sign a data processing agreement. Recording and WhatsApp are off by default for practices. Which further steps your practice needs, please clarify with your data protection officer.
Security & privacyQuestions from medical practices
Can Marco book directly into our practice management system?
Marco books into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365. Many practice systems have no open interface. In that case Marco takes down the request and your team confirms it.
Does Marco give medical information?
No. For questions about symptoms, results or medication Marco notes a callback or transfers the call according to your rules.
What about urgent calls?
You define what counts as urgent and which number Marco puts the call through to. How callers in life-threatening situations are pointed to the emergency number 112, and outside opening hours to the out-of-hours medical service 116 117, is something we set up with you.
Same setup, every industry.
Marco is the same software for every business. Your industry only decides the examples we start with.
