Every patient gets the right outcome on the first call

Keona Health is a healthcare technology company founded by healthcare professionals who understand the unique challenges of patient access and scheduling. CareDesk solves the complex problems that generic AI and traditional answering services can't handle, bringing clarity to the chaos that medical practices face daily with patient communications and scheduling.

A patient access platform is a system that unifies how patients interact with your healthcare practice across all touchpoints — phone, online scheduling, text, chat, and self-service. Instead of fragmenting these interactions across disconnected systems, it manages the complete journey from a patient's first contact through appointment completion, including scheduling, service requests, clinical triage, and staff coordination. Generic CRM platforms can't handle healthcare's specialized needs without massive customization. A healthcare CRM is built to manage clinical protocols, complex scheduling coordination, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, native EHR/PM integrations, and complete conversation history.

CareDesk is an AI-powered patient access platform designed specifically for healthcare practices across all specialties. It combines autonomous AI capabilities with intelligent staff assistance to handle patient interactions 24/7, ensuring scheduling accuracy and eliminating common bottlenecks.

Unlike generic AI solutions or call centers, CareDesk was created by healthcare professionals who understand the unique complexities of medical scheduling. It learns your specific providers, insurance requirements, and scheduling logic, handling routine interactions autonomously while seamlessly transferring complex cases to your staff with full context—no repetition or patient frustration.

An AI call agent in healthcare is an always-on patient access assistant. CareDesk’s AI Agent is Kara, and she operates 24/7, understanding your providers' schedules, insurance rules, and scheduling logic. When calls spike or voicemails pile up, the AI call agent handles routine inquiries independently and passes complex cases to your team with complete context.

This varies based on the software the AI call agent is embedded in. CareDesk’s AI call agent, Kara, handles 40%+ of patient interactions autonomously, 24/7, freeing your staff to focus on more complex patient needs and reducing overall workload.

When CareDesk encounters a situation that requires human expertise, it transfers the call seamlessly to your staff with full context and relevant information. This means your team has everything they need to help the patient immediately: no repetition, no frustration.

Yes! CareDesk operates 24/7, capturing after-hours calls that would otherwise go to voicemail or be lost completely. This converts after-hours inquiries into booked appointments and revenue.

Implementation timelines vary by practice size and complexity, but our expert team has a proven track record of delivering a smooth, efficient rollout. When a practice involves multiple locations and numerous providers, we recommend validating results in one location before scaling across multiple sites.

CareDesk’s training requirements are significantly less than similar platforms or healthcare CRMs. For example, Golden State Ortho reduced their training ramp from 6 weeks to just 2 days (a 70% reduction), with new staff achieving 100% scheduling accuracy from day one.

CareDesk is designed to work with your current workflows and scheduling systems. We have delivered integrations with most leading industry EHRs, including Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, Athena, Greenway, and 50+ other EHRs. During implementation, we'll ensure seamless integration with your practice management software and existing processes.
