AI concierge for aesthetic clinics

It only ever says what you’ve approved.

Built for UK clinics. Your patient data stays in your systems.

Rule one
Approved answers only — never generated
Rule two
No medical advice, no suitability assessment
Rule three
Nothing tailored to an individual patient
Rule four
No patient data retained by us

Meet Iris.

Ask her what a patient would ask. Watch what happens when the question isn’t on the approved list.

Interactive demo

Iris answers from an approved script and refuses everything else.

Demo only — not connected to a live clinic. Nothing you type is stored.

The problem

Most enquiries never become consultations.

They arrive when you’re closed

Nine in the evening. Sunday afternoon. Mid-procedure. The enquiry lands, nobody answers, and the patient moves on to the next clinic on their list.

They ask the same six questions

Price. Experience. Location. Recovery. Availability. Am I suitable. Your coordinator answers them dozens of times a week, from memory, with slight variations each time.

Good front desk staff are expensive

And rightly so — they are the difference between an enquiry and a booking. But they go home at six, and enquiries do not.

What it does

Four jobs. Done exactly as you’ve specified.

01

Answers the routine questions

Pricing, years in practice, clinic location, recovery windows, what to expect on the day. Delivered verbatim from your own wording.

02

Captures the details that matter

Name, date of birth, reason for enquiry, preferred date. Structured, complete, and written straight into your system.

03

Books the consultation

Against availability you control and slot rules you define. No judgement calls about urgency — that stays with your team.

04

Presents your procedure information

Your own recovery and risk text, shown properly and logged as seen — so the consultation starts further along.

The mechanism

Approved answers only.

Most AI assistants generate a reply to anything you ask them. For a clinic, that is the whole risk in one sentence.

Ask a generative assistant whether your surgeon has experience with a particular technique and it will produce a confident yes. Nobody lied. A credential claim just went out under your name.

Clinic Foyer cannot do that. Every response is retrieved word for word from an answer set you have written and signed off. Ask something off-list and it says so, then offers a callback. There is no generative fallback, because the fallback is where the fabrication happens.

  • × Never gives medical advice
  • × Never assesses whether a patient is suitable
  • × Never tailors risk information to an individual
  • × Never paraphrases your clinical wording
  • × Never claims a credential you haven’t entered

Patient
Does Dr Whitmore do ethnic rhinoplasty?
Iris
That’s not something I have an approved answer for, so I don’t want to guess. I’ll flag it for the clinic and someone will come back to you — usually the same working day. Shall I take your number?
A generative assistant answers this question. That answer is a credential claim, made on the clinic’s behalf, by software. Iris refuses and escalates instead.

How it works

Live in an afternoon. Under your control from the start.

01

Write and approve your answers

Start from our aesthetic-practice template and edit, or write your own from scratch. Nothing goes live until you’ve signed it off. Every change is versioned.

02

Embed and set your rules

One snippet on your site. You define booking availability, which questions escalate to a human, and where captured details are written.

03

Review the log

Every conversation, every answer version served, timestamped. If anyone ever asks what your assistant was authorised to say last March, you can show them.

Compliance posture

Designed for the rules, not retrofitted to them.

The constraints above are not a limitation we’re apologising for. They are what keeps this outside medical device regulation and inside your data protection obligations.

UK GDPR & DPA 2018Built for the UK regime from the ground up, not ported from US assumptions.
Data Processing AgreementArticle 28 DPA provided as standard with every clinic.

Questions

The things clinics ask first.

Is this a medical device?

It is designed not to be. Clinic Foyer delivers information you have written, captures enquiry details and books appointments. It does not calculate, interpret or triage patient data to influence a clinical decision — which is the line MHRA draws. We hold that line deliberately, because crossing it would mean UKCA marking and a very different product.

Will it ever give a patient medical advice?

No. It has no capability to. It cannot assess suitability, cannot answer “is this safe for me”, and cannot adjust anything it says to a particular patient’s circumstances. Those questions are recognised and routed to your team.

Who holds the patient data?

You do. Enquiry details are written into your systems. We are a processor, not a store — which means there is no database of your patients sitting with us to be requested, corrected, breached or subpoenaed.

What happens when a patient asks something we haven’t covered?

It says it doesn’t have an approved answer, offers a callback, and logs the gap. Those logged gaps are useful — they show you exactly which answers to write next, based on what patients actually ask.

Can we change what it says?

At any time, and it is the only way anything changes. Edits are versioned with a record of who approved what and when.

Does it use the surgeon’s likeness or name?

No, and we’d advise against it. The assistant presents as clearly non-clinical software with its own name, no title and no clinical dress. That is both the compliant choice and the one that avoids patients believing they have spoken to their surgeon.

Early access is open to a small number of UK clinics.

We’re working closely with a first group of aesthetic practices to build the answer templates properly. If that sounds like you, get in touch.

No obligation. We’ll tell you honestly if it isn’t a fit.
