- 01Is this legal under the NMC code and the Clinical Establishments Act?
- Yes — and we will never publish anything for your institution that we cannot defend against the NMC code, your state council's advertising variations, the Clinical Establishments Act, the Drug and Magic Remedies Act, ASCI health-claim rules, and the Consumer Protection Act. SENTINEL loads the full stack and checks every piece before your approver sees it; a human medical communications reviewer clears anything ambiguous. We do not publish success-rate guarantees, cure or outcome claims, comparisons that name a rival hospital, or before/after surgery imagery — the exact lines that get establishments into trouble. If a regulation changes after a piece is live, we flag it, notify you, and offer to archive or update.
- 02We're an institution with no single face — how does the video content work?
- That fork is the first thing we settle in onboarding. You choose one of four models: a lead doctor or founder becomes the face and we clone their voice and avatar; your specialists rotate, each fronting content for their own department; a consistent brand presenter speaks for the institution rather than any one doctor; or a no-avatar route built on facility footage, motion graphics, and patient-education visuals. Most hospitals run a blend — a recognisable lead for the headline reels, rotating consultants for department spotlights. The point is that your content reads as your institution, never as a faceless chain.
- 03How do you handle patient consent for journeys, testimonials, or case content?
- By default we publish no identifiable patient content of any kind. Educational and myth-busting content is built on aggregated insight — “what we see across patients who present like this” — never on a single recognisable person. If you want to feature a specific patient journey, we require witnessed, written consent, generated per jurisdiction and stored, and the patient can revoke at any time, after which we auto-archive everything related. The standard is the same one published medical literature holds itself to.
- 04Can we feature our doctors by name and credentials?
- Yes — named consultants with verifiable credentials are your strongest trust asset, and Doctor Spotlights are some of the highest-engagement content we produce. We capture each doctor's specialty, training, and what they are genuinely known for, and front content accordingly, with their consent. We never imply a doctor is available who has left, never overstate a credential, and never let a spotlight drift into an outcome guarantee. If a consultant departs, we pull or update their content as part of the monthly review.
- 05What does the AI Reception actually do for a clinic or hospital — and what won't it do?
- It answers in your institution's voice, 24/7. It books appointments and diagnostic tests, gives timings and directions, explains which department handles what, and tells a patient what to bring. It will never diagnose, never interpret a symptom or a report, and never imply that a DM or a call substitutes for seeing a doctor. For anything clinical it routes to your front office. For anything that reads like an emergency — chest pain, bleeding, breathlessness, a distressed caller — it stops, surfaces your direct number, and escalates immediately. It is built around what it must refuse.
- 06Can you handle accreditation claims and multiple locations correctly?
- Yes. Accreditations go into a SENTINEL allow-list during onboarding — NABH, NABL, ISO, JCI-in-progress — and we only ever claim what you have actually earned, framed the way each body permits. For multi-location groups, each unit can hold its own content stream, its own departments, and its own local-language mix, all under one group brand and one approval workflow. Our HERMES-DIR layer keeps your name, address, and details consistent across listings so a family searching at 2 a.m. finds the same trustworthy institution everywhere.
