Product Description:

Talktor is a smart-home medical assistant that allows user to search for providers and schedule appointments with the power of voice-technology. With Talktor, patients now have an easy way to search for providers by location, insurance plans, and medical profession. The average phone call to schedule an appointment takes an average of 7-10 minutes, but Talktor automates the booking process for both ends in only a matter of seconds! Providers and Health Systems can utilize Talktor as an automated patient acquisition tool that directly integrates with 98% of all United States EHR scheduling systems. With over 50 Million American households owning at least one smart-home device, voice technology is taking over digital search and will soon become the form of communication and computation. We want to help providers and health systems improve their patient engagement by getting them ahead of the game.

Use Cases

Description:

**Provider Search** _“...find me a dentist in Milwaukee”_ _“Okay, the top dentists in Milwaukee are Dr. X and Dr. Y...”_ utilizing data on the National Provider Database, we are able to maintain information on provider By operation locations, insurance affiliations, and experience. By structuring this public data, we are able to have users efficiently search for providers based on their own personal needs. We will always showcase provider information, even if that provider is not a Talktor subscriber. However, we will always showcase our subscribers first to allow for quick scheduling. If a user wants to contact a provider that is not a subscriber, we will provide the phone number for the office if the information is available. **Appointment Scheduling** _“Schedule an appointment with my regular physician for Wednesday at Noon.”_ _“Sure! Wednesday at Noon is available for your appointment. Would you like me to add this to your calendar?”_ _“Yes.”_ When a user makes a request to see a specialist, we will filter through our database to match that user with a specialist that accepts their insurance and operates near their location; even if the provider is not a subscriber. However, if the practice is subscribed with Talktor, it will be on top of the listings to book, adding marketability and patient activity to our clients. If an appointment is not available, we can make suggestions based on time-slot availability OR send a notification to the receptionist that includes your contact information. This way, we always have a solution for moving patient forward. **Patient Acquisition** By integrating with Redox Engine, we are able quickly integrate with 98% of all EHR systems within the United States. Redox will structure our JSON and iCAL requests to fit the required formats of whichever EHR system we are working with. This means that we are able to easily add and edit calendar segments without the interference of a receptionist or call-center employee.

Description:

We white-labeled and fully-configured a COVID-19 screener to the care access points (hospitals, telemedicine providers, nurse hotlines, and at-home resources of a 17-hospital system (reach out to learn specifics). A COVID-alert message on the home page routes users to the option to screen their symptoms for risk of infection and presentation of system-wide care options. The entire process of whitelabeling, configuring, implementing, testing, and going live was complete in 5 business days.

Pediatric use cases:

Clearstep's virtual triage platform is able to route >99% of adult and pediatric chief complaints towards their evidence-based next step.

Users:

Once live, an e-mail campaign was sent out to 650,000 residents in the areas surrounding the system to inform them that they could screen their symptoms. The email achieved the highest engagement rates of any mailer ever (3x higher email open rate and click-through rates). The COVID screener was used 30,000 times in the first three days.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Due to the amount of supposed “red-tape” with healthcare innovation, it is difficult to improve on even the most primitive departments like reception. To this day, people either need to make appointments over the phone with a receptionist (taking an average of 7-10 minutes) OR they need to pull up their computer to make an online request (which may or may not even get approved). We live in an age where people need instantaneous verification, and that is exactly what Talktor provides. With the integration of a scheduling system and Talktor, we are able to book appointments on our subscribers behalf, saving them time, money, and effort. There are very few current solutions that allow users to book appointments while the reception desk is closed, but now patients have the option to do so without even having to lift a finger. The ease of access will allow for easier assimilation with both young and elderly populations and the systems that integrate with Talktor.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Talktor works similar to an employee for our subscribers. The skill is available to save our clients money and time so that they can focus on more useful tasks. When we look at our primary competitor ZocDoc, we can see that their capital gain is far more important that client satisfaction. When ZocDoc lists their provider subscribers on their site, instead of listing the most qualified or best fitting physicians first, they will list physicians that have paid a higher premium. This means that instead of being a scheduling assistant, ZocDoc has transformed into a provider-bidding platform where those with the deepest pockets are showcased first. Talktor uses an intelligent API called BetterDoctor which allows us to sort, organize, and showcase ALL providers based on qualifications, location, and insurance information. This way, we are always making sure our users can find the best care possible without swindling our subscribers.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Clearstep marries disparate data sets that exist in various locations within the system. We take the responsibility to marry clinical content, provider directories, insurance & eligibility information, claims data, and scheduling systems so that your system's teams do not have to. Clearstep is ready-made and fully-supported by our development team.platform that is customizable to your health system's specific resources. Clearstep's business solution package also offers patient targeting to ensure that patients searching specific symptoms within a health system's geography are routed into that system via a seamless, effortless, already-built user experience.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Clearstep is the only solution providing an end-to-end user experience that guides patients through all aspects of booking care. Our symptom checker is powered by the most accurate triage, diagnostic, and home care content available and is derived off content that is already used in 95% of nurse call centers in the country. Clearstep uniquely offers a natural language processing engine that can handle free-text descriptions of an individual's chief complaint. In addition to featuring the most accurate content available, Clearstep's digital dialog asks the least number of questions as compared to competitor platforms and provides a single next-best step. Competitors often provide multiple possible causes and next steps that reduce clarity for the end-user's next step.
