Can Heidi handle multiple calls at once?

Ja. Heidi can handle concurrent calls — multiple patients can call at the same time and Heidi will greet and interact with all of them simultaneously. No more dropped calls or busy signals.

What languages does Heidi Comms support?

Currently, Heidi Comms supports English. If the caller has a stronger accent or speaks different forms of English, Heidi is equipped to handle it well. Multilingual support is on the roadmap.

Does Heidi sound like a robot?

Nein. Heidi's voice model is designed to be conversational and human-like. In practice, patients often won't realise they're speaking with AI.

What if a patient wants to speak to a real person?

If a patient asks to speak to a human at any point during the call, Heidi will immediately transfer the call to your reception team.

What if Heidi doesn't know the answer to a question?

Heidi draws from a knowledge base your clinic provides (FAQs, practice information, policies). If Heidi receives a question it can't answer, it will let the patient know and transfer the call to reception. The knowledge base can be enriched over time so Heidi handles more questions.

Does Heidi give medical advice?

Nein. Heidi has strong safeguards and will never provide medical advice or clinical opinions. If a patient calls with a serious medical concern, Heidi will advise them it cannot assist with that and immediately transfer to a human.

Can we customise what Heidi says and does?

Ja. The greeting message, questions asked, call flow, communication style, tone, and specific phrases are all fully customisable to each practice.

How does Heidi integrate with our phone system?

It's a straightforward call forwarding setup. You keep your current clinic number and set up call forwarding so calls go to Heidi first. When Heidi needs to transfer, it rings the call back to your reception. There's no need to change your clinic's phone number.

Which EHR/PMS systems does Heidi integrate with?

Heidi currently integrates with Cliniko, Best Practice, Medtech, Medirecords, and Athena. If your EHR isn't listed, you can still use Heidi without an integration — Heidi captures all call information and sends a summary to your reception team to action. Custom integrations are available as an enterprise solution.

How long does setup take?

Onboarding typically takes 2–3 weeks. The initial agent setup takes 2–3 days on Heidi's side. The remaining time depends on your clinic's availability to test and provide feedback. You don't need to write the configuration — Heidi's team handles the setup for you.

How do receptionists get notified after a call?

After each call, a summary is available in the Call Logs within Heidi. Summaries can also be automatically emailed to any specified email address, so your admin staff receive it directly in their inbox.

How much does Heidi Comms cost?

Pricing is tailored per clinic based on size, region, and use case. Complete the interest form at heidihealth.com/comms and our team will provide a personalised quote.

Our patients won't like talking to AI — is that a problem?

In practice, we've found the opposite. At live clinics, elderly patients book appointments and engages with Heidi. The voice is very natural, and if anyone wants to speak to a human, they can always ask at any time and Heidi transfers immediately.

Our workflow is too complex for AI — can Heidi handle it?

Heidi works with all kinds of complex workflows. Clinics can provide their protocols and procedures — even 40–50 pages of documentation — and Heidi's team will configure the agent to follow them. Conditional questioning, different call flows, and escalation protocols are all supported.

What if Heidi makes a mistake or doesn't understand a patient?

Every call has a full transcript and recording available for review. Heidi will ask for clarification if unsure (e.g. spelling of a name). If something goes wrong, Heidi transfers to reception. Your clinic has complete visibility and control.

How is Heidi Comms compliant with data privacy standards?

Heidi Comms adheres to strict data privacy regulations, including HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). All patient information is securely stored and transmitted with robust safeguards in place. For more information, review our Privacy Policy, Trust Centre, and Heidi Comms Terms of Use.
