What is procedure AI?

Procedure AI is artificial intelligence focused on a single job: getting patients ready for medical procedures and guiding them through recovery. PrepQ's procedure AI, built by PrepQ LLC, covers more than 700 procedures across 14 specialties — colonoscopy and endoscopy prep, joint replacement, cataract surgery, epidural injections, wisdom tooth removal, C-sections, and hundreds more — with a library of over 7,500 answers written by board-certified physicians. When a patient texts or calls their practice's dedicated PrepQ number, the AI matches the question to an answer that practice has already reviewed and approved, and delivers it in seconds, 24 hours a day, in English or Spanish. Fasting windows, medication holds, driving restrictions, wound care, normal-versus-worrisome symptoms — the questions patients actually ask the night before. Anything urgent or unanswered routes to the office or 911, so the AI never guesses.

How it works

1 — Before the procedure

Prep instructions, fasting windows, medication questions, what to bring, who drives — answered the moment the patient thinks to ask.

2 — The night before

Question volume peaks after hours. Procedure AI answers at 9 p.m. so your staff doesn't inherit a voicemail queue at 8 a.m.

3 — After the procedure

Wound care, swelling, activity restrictions, follow-up timing — patients get approved recovery guidance instead of guessing or calling.

Built for 14 medical & dental specialties

Frequently asked questions

Which procedures can procedure AI answer questions about?
PrepQ covers more than 700 procedures across Pain Management, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Urology, Cardiology, General Surgery, ENT, OB/GYN, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Plastic Surgery, Dental, Oral Surgery, and Orthodontics. Deep-dive guides are published for common procedures like colonoscopy, total knee replacement, cataract surgery, epidural steroid injections, wisdom tooth removal, and dozens more — each backed by the same physician-approved answer library patients reach by text or phone.
How does procedure AI help patients prepare for a colonoscopy or surgery?
Preparation failures — a missed fasting window, a blood thinner that wasn't held, no ride home — cancel procedures and cost practices real money. Procedure AI answers those exact questions instantly, at any hour, from content the practice approved: when to start the prep, which liquids count as clear, which medications to take the morning of, when to arrange a driver. Better-prepared patients mean fewer same-day cancellations and fewer panicked evening calls.
Does procedure AI give medical advice?
No. PrepQ delivers patient education, clearly labeled as education, drawn from answers the patient's own practice reviewed and approved. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or override the care team's instructions — answers consistently direct patients back to their practice for anything specific to their case, and urgent symptoms escalate immediately to the office or 911.
Where do procedure AI answers come from?
Board-certified specialist physicians write every answer, and co-founders Keith Schmidt, MD and Ryan Kuta, DO lead the content program. Before launch, each subscribing practice's clinicians review the library for their specialty and approve or customize every answer to match their protocols. Nothing reaches a patient that the practice hasn't signed off on.
How quickly can a practice launch procedure AI?
Typically the same day. There is no EHR integration: PrepQ stages your specialty's answer library, your clinicians approve it (about an hour of physician time), your dedicated patient number is assigned, and patients can start texting or calling. Pricing is a flat $250/month per physician and $125/month per APN/NP/PA with free staff seats.
