AI Automation for PT Practices That Keeps Patients Engaged Between Visits

Patients do their exercises for 3 days, then stop. AI sends HEP reminders, tracks visit frequency, manages referrals, and collects outcome measures--so your clinicians focus on treatment.

5+ hours/week savings guaranteed or full refund. No long-term contract.

PT practices lose patients mid-plan-of-care because life gets in the way. Home exercise compliance is low, visit frequency drops off, and referral authorizations expire without anyone noticing. Meanwhile, clinicians spend documentation time on admin instead of patient notes. We audit your practice and build automation that keeps patients engaged and authorization timelines on track.

The problems we solve

  • Home exercise program compliance drops after the first week
  • Patients miss visits and don't reschedule, falling off their plan of care
  • Referral authorizations expire without proactive reauthorization
  • Outcome measures are collected inconsistently
  • Direct-access patients don't know they can come without a referral

What we recommend

Every physical therapy business is different, but these are the tools and systems that come up most in our audits:

  1. Digital HEP with exercise videos and reminder notifications
  2. Visit frequency alerts (patient and staff) when gaps appear
  3. Authorization tracker with reauth reminders
  4. Automated outcome measure collection via text/email
  5. Direct-access awareness campaigns for your service area

Frequently asked questions

How do HEP reminders work?
After each visit, the patient gets a text with their updated home exercise program including exercise videos. Daily reminders prompt them to complete their exercises. Patients tap 'done' or 'skipped,' and clinicians see compliance data at the next visit. Compliance typically improves 40-60%.
Can automation track referral authorizations?
Yes. The system tracks how many authorized visits remain and alerts your front desk when reauthorization is needed. No more expired authorizations and surprise claim denials.
What about outcome measures?
Patients receive outcome questionnaires (DASH, Oswestry, LEFS, etc.) via text at intake, mid-treatment, and discharge. Results are scored automatically and available in the patient record. Saves 5-10 minutes per administration.
Does this help with direct access patients?
Yes. If your state allows direct access, we build campaigns that educate your community--most people don't know they can see a PT without a referral. This opens a new patient acquisition channel that doesn't depend on physician referrals.
