A Real-Time EHR Built for AI Agents: Why PhiClaw Runs on Convex
Most EHRs were built for people clicking through screens, one at a time. A practice with an AI employee works differently: the AI books, reschedules, charts and follows up all day, while your staff work in the same records. If the system is not live, people end up looking at stale schedules and charts. That is why PhiClaw's Headless EHR and HIPAA CRM are reactive by default.
What "reactive" means for your practice
- No refresh button. When your AI employee books a 3pm visit, the front desk sees it on the schedule the same second.
- No sync delays. Charts, tasks, leads and messages update live for everyone who has them open.
- No double booking. Staff and the AI work from the same live data, so two people cannot grab the same slot.
Why we built it on Convex
Our EHR and CRM run on Convex, a reactive cloud database. Every query is live by default, and the whole backend is plain TypeScript functions with a typed schema. AI agents work well with that setup: they call clear, typed functions instead of guessing at raw tables, which keeps their reads and writes fast and predictable. We have a BAA in place with Convex for the infrastructure that stores patient data, and PhiClaw signs a BAA with your practice.
OpenEMR is different on purpose. If you need ONC-certified EHR technology, our OpenEMR add-on ($50/mo) runs on its own dedicated HIPAA server (VPS), separate from the rest of PhiClaw. Your AI employee logs into it like a staff member.
What you get
The Headless Basic EHR, HIPAA CRM, patient portal and unlimited AI scribe are included in every PhiClaw plan: $997 a month paid yearly, or $1,500 month-to-month. See the EHR for your specialty.
