LungNAV
Every eligible patient gets a call. Your team takes it from there.
LungNAV is an optional AI patient scheduler for LungIQ. It calls patients on your ranked worklist, explains lung cancer screening in plain language, prepares them for their shared decision-making visit with a doctor, PA, or nurse practitioner, then hands them to your scheduling team.
LungNAV: Hello, this is the automated scheduling system for Community Health.
The outreach gap
Finding eligible patients is half the job
A ranked list only saves lives if someone works it. In our LungIQ validation at a rural health center, only 27% of patients called were reached, and the site had no reminder system for shared decision-making visits. Most programs have the same bottleneck: not enough staff hours for the calls.
Too many calls, too few hours
Reaching one patient can take several attempts. Navigators spend their day dialing instead of helping the patients who said yes.
Missed visits
Screening requires a shared decision-making visit before the scan. Without reminders, patients who said yes still slip through.
Questions before commitment
Most patients have never heard of lung screening. They want the basics, like what the scan is and whether it is covered, before they book.
How LungNAV works
From ranked list to booked visit
Step 1 · Worklist
Starts from your LungIQ list
LungNAV works the queues you choose, top-down by probability, within the calling hours you set. A text first lets each patient know a call is coming.
Step 2 · The call
A clear, plain-language conversation
It introduces itself as an automated patient scheduler, explains screening and what to expect at the shared decision-making visit, and answers common questions. Voicemails ask only for a call back.
Step 3 · Handoff
Your team takes it from there
When the education is done, LungNAV hands the patient to your call center or nurse navigators with a call summary. Your team calls back to confirm details and book the visit.
