Patient experience, reimagined with intelligence

Healthcare providers can use AI to personalize journeys by building a central profile service that aggregates EHR, demographic, and behavior data, then running rules and ML models to pick the right next action (onboarding screen, reminder, education card) per user state. Client apps (mobile/web) call this “journey API” on each key event (new diagnosis, missed visit) to fetch context‑aware content and timing, with A/B tests and analytics feeding back to improve the policy over time.

High‑value automated touchpoints include appointment and medication reminders, pre‑visit check‑ins, post‑op follow‑ups, satisfaction micro‑surveys, and FAQ handling via chat. Implement these as workflow templates (e.g., “new diagnosis,” “chronic follow‑up”) backed by AI for timing, channel and copy suggestions, but always keep clear “talk to a human” paths and easy opt‑out controls to preserve the human feel.

Common chatbot pitfalls are answering diagnostic or treatment questions, hallucinating unsafe advice, and not detecting crisis intent. Mitigate by constraining the bot to narrow, approved domains (logistics, education, navigation), using retrieval‑based responses from vetted content, enforcing medical‑safety guardrails, and routing any red‑flag or out‑of‑scope queries directly to humans with clear disclaimers.

To act on dissatisfaction/confusion, pipe messages, chats, and reviews through a sentiment‑classification and intent‑detection service, then tag conversations with scores and reasons (anger, confusion, cancellation risk) in your CRM or care‑management system. Negative or high‑risk signals should trigger workflows: priority queues, alerts in staff dashboards, auto‑created tasks, and suggested response templates so agents or nurses can intervene quickly.

Integrate AI engagement tools with existing EHRs by using standards (FHIR, HL7) or vendor APIs, and keep the AI surfaces inside familiar UIs (embedded widgets, SMART‑on‑FHIR apps, in‑portal chat) instead of separate systems. Start with read‑only data access and outbound messaging, then gradually add write‑backs (e.g., logging communication events, updating flags) through well‑governed interfaces so workflows stay intact and clinicians remain in control.
