Healthcare chatbots — what are they? Using chatbot technology in healthcare helps automate repetitive tasks, cut down costs, and provide real-time assistance to those in need of it. For instance: Although it’s still the doctor’s prerogative to make a diagnosis, AI algorithms can speed up the initial assessment by asking the patient about their symptoms. The same information can then be used by administrative personnel to admit the patient to the hospital. Talking to an insurance company’s chatbot can be a great alternative to filling out online questionnaires: it’s far more interactive and engaging. ACROPOLIUM
Informative, conversational, and prescriptive — these are the three main categories all healthcare chatbots fall into. They can be built into messaging services like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, or Telegram or come as standalone apps. Here are the qualities that define each type. ACROPOLIUM

Advantages of using chatbots in healthcare Immediate response. Only limited by network connection and server performance, bots respond to requests instantaneously. 24/7 availability. Software helpers don’t tire or take breaks. Proper setup of servers guarantees an almost 100% uptime. This is a crucial characteristic for healthcare. ACROPOLIUM
Advantages Smarter management of resources Chatbots become the first point of contact between a patient and a medical facility, eliminating routine operations for doctors and nurses. This frees up time that can be redistributed on more important tasks. High patient satisfaction is the result of the perks listed above. As patients continuously receive quick and convenient access to medical services, their trust in the chatbot technology will naturally grow.

Help with emergency response/first aid Facilitate post- discharge and rehabilitation care Most emergency situations require professional intervention, but there are times when patients can benefit from a quick self- assessment. If the condition is not too severe, a chatbot can help by asking a few simple questions and comparing the answers with the patient’s medical history. A chatbot like that can be part of emergency helper software with broader functionality. Studies suggested that failure to show up for the procedure was predominant among underprivileged patients. The solution delivers data about the exam in a non- intrusive explanatory form and sets reminders. The same approach can be very effective when it comes to post-surgery rehabilitation: sending reminders to exercise and take medication. ACROPOLIUM
Assess your needs and decide on your use cases Find out where your bottlenecks are and formulate what you’re planning to achieve by adding a chatbot to your system. Do you need to admit patients faster, automate appointment management, or provide additional services? The goals you set now will define the very essence of your new product, as well as the technology it will rely on.
Choose the right type of conversation flow Keeping the right pace is important The chatbot has to take specific context into account The conversation should be cooperative The bot’s replies shouldn’t be too long or overly technical. The app should give the user a chance to ask questions and clarify details. When talking about sensitive issues like mental health, the chatbot’s response needs to be precise but not come across as cold or negative. The bot should always provide relevant answers instead of simply giving out information. ACROPOLIUM
Pick the AI methods to power the bot Pattern matching Machine and Deep Learning algorithms It’s the simplest method of comparing the text against pre-saved patterns and choosing the corresponding answer. The most popular options include natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU). AI algorithms use several steps to identify and classify the concepts, actions, context, and intent of the user’s sentences. ACROPOLIUM
