The problem

  1. 01

    Every new patient needs a full treatment history

    Before a first infusion, the team needs every antidepressant tried, with dose, duration and response, plus medical history and substance use. It takes a long visit or a long form.

  2. 02

    A fresh check before every session

    Each infusion or Spravato session needs a new check: mood since last time, side effects, new medications, fasting and a ride home. It usually happens by phone or on paper.

  3. 03

    Phones busy with cost and rebooking questions

    Patients and families call about referrals, cost and insurance, and sessions booked two or three times a week get moved. The front desk is on the phone all day.

Link to chart. Three steps.

How it works

  1. Step 01

    The patient opens a link or scans a QR code.

  2. Step 02

    Athel runs the pre-treatment interview and adapts to every answer.

  3. Step 03

    You open a structured history in your EMR before you walk in.

The interview. What it covers.

11 topics

  1. Reason for referral and current symptoms
  2. Depression history and past episodes
  3. Antidepressant trials: dose, duration and response
  4. Other treatment tried, such as therapy, rTMS or ECT
  5. Current medications and allergies
  6. Blood pressure, heart history and pregnancy
  7. Snoring and sleep apnea
  8. Substance use
  9. History of psychosis or mania
  10. Safety questions
  11. Ride home and pre-session instructions

Built for the first assessment and for the check-in before each session. Athel gathers the history. Your team keeps the assessment, the eligibility decision and the dosing.

Routine visits and urgent moments. Both are planned for.

Safety

Routine

  1. 1The patient completes the pre-visit form and a short interview at home, in their own time.
  2. 2Athel writes a structured report: history, medications, substance use and the safety questions the clinic chose to include.
  3. 3The report is in your EMR before the visit. You review it and decide what to explore in person.

If something urgent comes up

  1. 1The patient mentions thoughts of suicide or self-harm, harming someone else, or being in danger.
  2. 2Athel stops asking questions right away and gives them 988 (call or text, free, 24/7), or 911 if they are in immediate danger.
  3. 3The session ends so they can reach out, and the clinic is alerted. The report is marked urgent and opens with a Risk section.

Athel never counsels, assesses risk, or asks about plans or means. Every interview also opens and closes with the 988 and 911 information.

Questions. Answered.

07 questions

01What happens if a patient reports thoughts of self-harm?

Athel stops the interview immediately. The patient is told to call or text 988, which is free and available 24/7, or to call 911 if they are in immediate danger, and the session ends so they can reach out. The clinic is alerted and the report is marked urgent, with a Risk section at the top before the clinical summary. Athel never counsels the patient, assesses risk, or asks about plans or means. Each clinic decides whether safety questions appear on the written form or in the interview.

02Does Athel decide who is eligible for ketamine?

No. Athel gathers the history your team needs, such as antidepressant trials, blood pressure, substance use and any history of psychosis, and flags items for review. Your psychiatrist or physician makes every eligibility and dosing decision.

03Can Athel check in before every session?

Yes. Before each infusion or Spravato session, Athel can ask about mood since the last session, side effects, medication changes, your fasting instructions and whether a ride home is arranged. The answers are in your EMR before the patient arrives.

04Can we use our own rating scales?

Yes. Send us the scales and forms you already use, such as the PHQ-9, QIDS-SR or GAD-7, and Athel builds them into the conversation so they can be repeated across the series.

05Does this work for Spravato as well as IV ketamine?

Yes. The check-in before each session works the same way for IV ketamine and Spravato (esketamine). Dosing, monitoring and observation stay with your clinical team.

06Does this replace my AI scribe?

No. Athel takes the history before the visit and handles the phones, which a scribe does not do. It works alongside the AI scribe you already use.

07Who answers referral and booking calls?

Athel's AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, including new referral and cost questions after hours. It books and rebooks sessions so the front desk can stay with patients in clinic.
