MIA
Transforming Patient Communication at "Cirugía Obesidad Diabetes" Clinics
The Challenge
As Cirugía Obesidad Diabetes expanded across Mérida and Colima, Mexico, Dr. Luis Meza's practice faced a growing challenge: patient communications were overwhelming the administrative team. Patients frequently contacted the clinic outside business hours with questions about appointments, procedures, and post-operative care, often waiting until the next day for responses. The administrative staff struggled to keep up, affecting response times and the overall patient experience.
The Solution
The is4.AI team developed MIA (Medical Intelligent Agent), a custom AI-powered communications system that integrates seamlessly with the clinic's scheduling platform via WhatsApp and SMS. Built on OpenAI's GPT-4o, MIA handles patient interactions in both Spanish and English, managing everything from initial consultations to post-operative follow-ups.
MIA's capabilities include:
- 24/7 Availability: Patients receive immediate responses to scheduling requests and common questions, regardless of the time
- Intelligent Scheduling: Direct integration with the practice's calendar system to check availability, book appointments, and send automated reminders
- Knowledge Base Integration: Instant answers to frequently asked questions about procedures, pricing, insurance, and pre-operative preparation
- Automated Follow-Ups: Scheduled check-ins after consultations and procedures to monitor recovery and gather feedback
- Patient Safety Protocols: Built-in emergency detection that redirects urgent situations to medical staff immediately
The Results
Since implementing MIA, the Cirugía Obesidad Diabetes Clinic has achieved remarkable improvements:
- 65% reduction in staff time spent managing WhatsApp communications
- 92% of patients report receiving faster responses than expected
- 48% increase in appointment attendance due to proactive reminders
- Improved patient satisfaction scores with reduced communication gaps
"I like that MIA is available 24x7, is always cheery and helpful, and never forgets to follow up. It makes me feel taken care of, even outside of my appointments."
MIA freed the clinic's administrative team to focus on high-value, in-person care while ensuring patients never feel neglected. The system operates continuously with consistent performance, adapts easily to clinical workflows, and maintains an automatically updated patient database, all while remaining secure, cost-effective, and continuously evolving.

Transforming Emergency Care in Mexico, revolutionizing Patient Triage for Major Hospitals Urgent Care Facilities
The Challenge
A chain of large hospital urgent care facilities in Mexico faced critical operational bottlenecks that impacted patient care and staff efficiency. Their intake process was manual, time-consuming, and inconsistent, leading to:
- Prolonged wait times as staff manually collected patient information
- Inefficient triage assessment that delayed critical care prioritization
- Staff burnout from repetitive administrative tasks
- Language barriers serving a diverse patient population
- Lack of real-time visibility into patient flow and urgency levels
The hospitals needed a solution that could modernize their intake process while maintaining the human touch essential to healthcare.
The Solution: TIA (Triage Intelligent Agent)
The is4.AI team developed TIA, a multilingual AI-powered patient intake and triage system specifically designed for the hospitals' urgent care environments. TIA provides:
- Voice and text-based interaction in multiple languages, including Spanish
- Intelligent, adaptive questioning based on medical triage protocols
- Real-time patient assessment that determines on-site vs. remote patient location
- Immediate staff visibility through a comprehensive dashboard
- Automated data collection that integrates with existing hospital systems
Implementation
Our team worked closely with both hospital facilities to:
- Customize triage protocols to align with their specific medical standards and workflows
- Configure multilingual support for their patient demographics
- Integrate with existing systems to access historical patient data
- Train staff on the new dashboard and escalation procedures
- Establish clear pathways for patients requiring immediate human assistance
RESULTS
- Faster, more convenient intake process accessible via personal or clinic devices
- Consistent, protocol-driven triage assessment regardless of time of day
- Clear, actionable guidance based on their condition and location
- Reduced overall wait times from arrival to treatment
- Real-time patient queue with filterable triage levels
- Complete patient information collected before first interaction
- Transparent AI reasoning behind each triage assessment
- Freed from repetitive data entry to focus on patient care
- Ability to manually prioritize and intervene when needed
- Standardized intake and triage across all shifts and staff
- Enhanced workflow efficiency with live patient status tracking
- Better resource allocation based on triage urgency
- Scalable solution that handles volume spikes seamlessly
Why TIA Succeeded
TIA's success stems from addressing the real pain points of emergency care intake:
- Medical expertise embedded in AI: Dynamic questioning follows established triage protocols rather than static forms
- Multilingual by design: Native Spanish support was essential for these Mexican facilities
- Real-time transparency: Staff can see patient data flowing in and understand AI decision-making
- Human-in-the-loop: Clear escalation paths maintain the essential human element of healthcare
- Practical implementation: Focus on solving actual workflow problems rather than technology for its own sake
