Intelligent patient access. Smarter triage. Better-prepared clinicians.
MediChat is an advanced AI-powered healthcare assistant developed by Fexcon for MediChat Limited, New Zealand, transforming how medical clinics manage patient communication, appointments, and initial triage. Designed to operate as an intelligent 24/7 AI clinic receptionist, MediChat engages with patients through phone calls, WhatsApp, websites, and Facebook, providing a seamless first point of contact regardless of how a patient chooses to communicate.
MediChat can manage routine enquiries, book appointments, and conduct structured, symptom-based patient triage. Based on the information provided, the platform applies a traffic-light priority system, helping clinics identify patients who may require more urgent attention - from Red for urgent clinical assistance through to Green for lower-priority cases. Where a patient's responses indicate a potential medical emergency, MediChat immediately escalates the interaction and directs the patient to appropriate emergency assistance, including advising them to call 111 in NZ, 000 in Australia, or the relevant local emergency service.

MediChat integrates with existing patient management systems (PMS), enabling the AI assistant to securely access authorised patient information such as previous clinical summaries, medical history, and laboratory results. Before the consultation, MediChat combines relevant patient history with information gathered during the current interaction to prepare a concise AI-generated patient and triage summary for the doctor - giving clinicians relevant information before seeing the patient, reducing administrative workload, improving patient flow, and allowing healthcare professionals to focus their time where it matters most: delivering patient care.
