As the number of cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to rise across the globe, so do the number of phone calls to healthcare providers. Health professionals everywhere are scrambling to find secure solutions to help their overburdened call centers so that patients can get the care they need.

Many healthcare professionals are turning to conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to empower their COVID-19-overwhelmed call centers. Through an intelligent, self-service experience, these cloud-powered health chatbots are affording patients the service and care they need when they need it.

Benefits of a Health Bot

Additionally, the health bot connects easily to multiple information centers, such as systems that manage patient information and electronic medical records (EMR). Across systems, the health bot instance effortlessly integrates into websites, digital personal assistants, and other chat channels.

3. Security and Compliance

Each instance of the health bot aligns with industry and globally recognized security and compliance standards such as ISO 27001, 27018, and CSA Gold and GDPR and provides tools that help healthcare organizations create HIPAA compliant solutions.
