Healthcare · Dental & Physical Therapy Custom Development AI Insights Reporting & Dashboards

AI-powered analytics
embedded inside
GoHighLevel.

A healthcare group running both dental and physical therapy practices needed a unified view of clinic performance without leaving their existing CRM environment. We built a fully custom analytics application embedded inside their GoHighLevel sub-account, with dual-workflow data ingestion and Claude AI surfacing growth recommendations automatically from live clinic data.

Dental & PT in

Healthcare group, two practice types, one critical operational blind spot.

The client operated dental and physical therapy practices under one parent group, each running on different data systems with different reporting workflows. Their dental practice exported performance data from OpenDental via CSV. Their PT practice tracked appointments and outcomes through Google Sheets.

The practice owners had access to numbers, but no intelligent layer to interpret them. Weekly reporting was manual, slow, and lived completely outside their core operating platform - GoHighLevel. Performance reviews waited on data prep instead of focusing on decisions.

They came to us with a clear ask: build a dashboard inside GoHighLevel that handles both practice types from one interface - and have it actually tell us what to do with the numbers.

What was broken.

Five compounding operational gaps that made data-driven decision-making nearly impossible across two practice types.

01
No unified dashboard across practice types.
Dental and Physical Therapy operations ran on entirely separate data workflows. There was no single platform where practice leadership could view performance across both - every comparison required exporting from two systems and reconciling manually.
02
Manual data handling from OpenDental.
Clinic data had to be exported from OpenDental as CSVs and manually reviewed. The process consumed hours of staff time weekly and introduced delays into every operational decision.
03
Different data sources per practice type.
Dental relied on OpenDental CSV exports. Physical Therapy managed performance through Google Sheets. Any solution had to be flexible enough to support both ingestion patterns without forcing standardization on systems they didn't control.
04
Raw numbers, no insights.
The team had data, but no intelligent layer to interpret it and surface growth recommendations. "What should we do about it?" was always the next question - and it always required another meeting.
05
Analytics lived outside the CRM.
All performance reporting happened in tools disconnected from GoHighLevel, which is where the team spent most of their day. Constant tool-switching created friction and reduced adoption of whatever reporting actually existed.

We built a custom app, inside GoHighLevel.

Rather than building yet another standalone reporting tool, we engineered a fully custom analytics application hosted as an embedded app inside the client's GoHighLevel sub-account - supporting both practice types from a single interface, with Claude AI generating plain-English business insights from live clinic data.

The architecture.

One embedded app. Dynamic onboarding. Two data ingestion paths based on practice type. Unified AI insight layer feeding both dashboards.

01

GHL-embedded application.

Built the entire analytics platform as a custom app embedded inside the client's GoHighLevel sub-account. Everything lives in the CRM they already work in - no external tools, no tab-switching, no extra logins for the practice managers and owners using the dashboard daily.

02

Dynamic onboarding flow.

Structured onboarding page where users input their Location ID, select Dental or PT as their dashboard type, and choose their data source. Available data sources dynamically change based on the dashboard type selected - preventing configuration errors and keeping the setup path clean.

03

Dual dashboard architecture.

Two distinct workflow paths inside the same application - one for Dental, one for Physical Therapy. Each path has its own data ingestion method, its own tailored metric set, and its own visualization layer, but they share the same AI insight engine and the same UI shell.

04

CSV ingestion for OpenDental.

For the Dental workflow, users upload an OpenDental CSV export. The app parses the file, processes the data, and immediately populates the dashboard with charts, trends, and sparklines. A persistent re-upload control sits at the top of the dashboard so practice managers can refresh data at any time.

05

Google Sheets API for PT.

For the Physical Therapy dashboard, the app connects directly to a Google Sheet via Sheet ID and pulls live data into the dashboard without requiring exports or manual uploads. Data updates in the Sheet flow into the dashboard automatically.

06

Claude AI insight layer.

Integrated Anthropic's Claude AI into both dashboard workflows to automatically analyze clinic data and generate plain-English business insights and growth recommendations. The system goes beyond visualization to help non-technical practice owners and managers understand what the numbers mean and what actions to take next.

07

Unified metric layer + sparklines.

Both dashboards surface key performance metrics, trend charts, and sparklines in a clean, consistent interface designed for non-technical users. Same visual language across Dental and PT means practice owners can move between dashboards without re-learning anything.

Within three months of deployment.

Measurable improvements across reporting efficiency, data accuracy, and strategic decision velocity - across both practice types simultaneously.

70%
Reporting time reduction
Automated data ingestion and AI-generated insights eliminated the bulk of manual weekly reporting effort across both Dental and PT teams.
100%
CRM-embedded workflow
By hosting the app inside GoHighLevel, the team accesses analytics without leaving their primary operating platform - improving adoption and ending tool-switching friction.
40%
Data accuracy improvement
Removing manual data transfers and connecting directly to source systems (OpenDental CSVs and Google Sheets) reduced reporting errors and inconsistencies.
2-in-1
Dual-practice visibility
Practice owners gained a unified view across Dental and Physical Therapy performance for the first time, enabling faster cross-practice decision-making.
