AI Agents Powering Healthcare — Nestmate Health
Nestmate Health deploys five specialized AI agents across the care continuum — provider search, care coordination, patient education, referral intake, and scheduling. All agents are HIPAA-compliant, operate with human oversight, and produce results within a single session. No AI action replaces clinical judgment; every output goes through human review before it affects patient care.
AI-Powered Provider Search
The provider search agent accepts plain-English queries and returns a ranked list of verified healthcare providers that match the request. Instead of navigating filter menus, users type a natural-language request — for example, "cardiologist accepting Aetna within 10 miles with same-week availability" — and the agent interprets the query, verifies insurance-network participation in real time, and ranks providers by specialty match, drive time, and calendar availability.
- Semantic ranking across 50+ specialty categories
- Live insurance-network verification against submitted plans
- Drive-time and same-week availability filtering
- Results include telehealth availability, patient ratings, and next open slot
MATE — AI Care Coordinator
MATE is a purpose-built care-coordination agent that works alongside human care coordinators. It reads patient context from the referral record, drafts outgoing referral documents, writes triage-note summaries for receiving specialists, and flags overdue cases for escalation. MATE operates inside the coordinator's normal workflow — every draft is reviewed and approved by a human before it is transmitted to the receiving practice.
- Referral drafts generated in under 30 seconds from patient context
- Triage-note summarization tailored to the receiving specialist's specialty
- Automated escalation alerts for referrals stalled past the 24-hour response SLA
- Post-discharge follow-up scheduling with automated patient outreach
- All actions require human coordinator approval before transmission
AI Chat for Patients
The patient-facing AI Chat agent is available 24/7 inside the patient portal. It answers condition questions using evidence-based health education tied to MedlinePlus, explains after-visit summaries in plain language, and guides patients to the right next step — whether that's booking a follow-up, reading a relevant article, or contacting their care team. It is not a diagnostic tool; urgent symptom signals are escalated directly to the patient's care team for human review.
- Evidence-based health education sourced from MedlinePlus and clinical guidelines
- After-visit summary explanations in patient-friendly language
- Urgency signal detection — escalates to care team when symptoms warrant it
- Not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
Drop & Forget — AI Intake Agent
The Drop & Forget pipeline accepts referral documents in any format — PDF, image file, fax, or browser screenshot captured with the Nestmate Chrome extension — and uses AI to extract structured data automatically. The extracted record includes patient demographics, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, insurance details, and urgency signals, eliminating the need for manual re-keying. Referring offices can track the status of their submission through a session-based status page.
- Chrome extension for one-click referral capture from any EHR web portal (40+ supported, including Epic, Cerner, Athena, eClinicalWorks)
- AI extraction of patient demographics, ICD-10 codes, insurance member ID, and urgency classification
- Session-based status tracking with real-time updates for the referring office
- Offline queue — submissions retry automatically if connectivity is lost mid-shift
- All uploads are HTTPS-encrypted; no PHI is stored in the Chrome extension itself
Intelligent Scheduling Agent
The scheduling agent reads provider calendars in real time and sends patients a self-schedule link that is guaranteed to land in an open slot matching their insurance plan and care preferences. When a slot is released due to a cancellation, the agent automatically notifies waitlisted patients and offers the slot on a first-come, first-served basis. Calendar sync is maintained with major EHR systems.
- Real-time calendar sync with major EHR scheduling systems
- Self-schedule links sent directly to patients via SMS or email
- Guaranteed slot availability — no double-booking
- Automatic waitlist back-fill when cancellations open slots
- Appointment reminders sent 48 hours and 2 hours before the visit
Built for Healthcare, Not Bolted On
- HIPAA-compliant by design — every agent operates within Nestmate's PHI access engine; patient data is never used to train third-party models
- Human in the loop — agents assist, not decide; coordinators, providers, and patients retain final control over every clinical action
- Same-session results — most agent actions complete in under 60 seconds
- Audit-logged — every AI-assisted action is logged with actor, timestamp, and outcome for compliance review
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the AI HIPAA-compliant?
- Yes. Every Nestmate AI agent operates inside a HIPAA-compliant PHI access engine. Patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit, access is audit-logged per record, and patient data is never shared with or used to train third-party models.
- Can AI draft my referral notes?
- Yes. The MATE care-coordination agent reads patient context and generates referral drafts — including triage notes for the receiving specialist — in under 30 seconds. A human coordinator reviews and approves every draft before it is sent.
- Does the AI replace my care coordinator or physician?
- No. Nestmate AI agents are designed to assist — not replace — your team. Every clinical action goes through human review. Agents handle the time-consuming paperwork so coordinators and providers can focus on patient care.
- What formats does the Drop & Forget intake agent accept?
- Drop & Forget accepts PDF, image files, faxes, and browser screenshots captured with the Nestmate Chrome extension. The AI extracts patient demographics, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, insurance details, and urgency signals into a structured referral record automatically.
- How does AI-powered provider search differ from a regular directory?
- Instead of manually setting filters, you type a plain-English request. The AI search agent interprets the query, verifies insurance networks in real time, and ranks results by relevance — no forms to fill out.
