An AI agent for medical labs and diagnostics
that handles booking and status, never interprets a result

The three calls that fill a lab’s phone line

A diagnostic lab’s front desk spends a large share of its day on three repeat requests. Booking a test. Explaining how to prepare for it. Telling a patient whether results are ready. None of these need clinical judgment. All of them take staff time away from sample handling and the parts of the job that do need a trained person. A patient who shows up without fasting for a test that required it, because the prep instructions were never clearly sent, usually has to rebook. That costs the lab a slot and the patient a wasted trip.

Call volume around “is my result ready” spikes right after a test type’s typical turnaround window, and clogs the same line patients use to book new appointments. There is also a quieter risk. A staff member trying to be reassuring on the phone can drift from “your result is in” toward something that sounds like an interpretation. That is exactly the liability a lab needs to avoid, outside a doctor’s own reading of the result.

The agent we build for medical labs

The agent books tests against your real schedule, and sends the exact prep instructions for that specific test type, pulled from a checklist built with your team. It tells a patient when results are ready, with a secure link to view them, never the content of the result itself. Pricing and insurance FAQ run off your actual fee schedule.

The one hard rule in the playbook: no result interpretation, ever. The moment a question moves from “is my result ready” to “what does this number mean,” the agent says so. It hands off to a doctor with the conversation attached. For labs running several branches, the agent checks real slot availability per location. A patient gets booked at the branch that actually fits their schedule, instead of being told to call around.

Typical integrations: WhatsApp and Telegram for booking and status, your site chat for pricing FAQ, and your lab information system or booking tool where an API exists. We keep the agent’s test menu and prep checklist in sync with your actual offerings. A new test type added to your menu never silently falls outside what the agent can book or explain.

What always stays with your doctors

Result interpretation, any clinical judgment about a patient’s specific case, and the decision to flag an urgent result all stay entirely with your doctors and lab staff. The agent’s job is logistics: booking, prep and status. Never the medicine itself.

Price and timeline

Both run on the same 2 to 3 week build. Running cost is separate and usually $20 to $150 a month in model usage depending on volume, with a hard budget cap set before launch.
