Product Description:
  • The Praia Health Identity and Engagement Platform is a managed Platform-as a-Service offering for health systems that enables high value, identity-driven digital experiences that engage and re-engage consumers with their health—before, during and between episodes of care. The solution enables health systems to own and leverage patient relationships, personalize their consumer experiences, and optimize and extend their operational model.



    The platforms’ Identity-Driven Personalization Services create, verify, authenticate, and manage robust consumer profiles that extend beyond the medical record—securely combining data and preferences across the consumers’ health ecosystem. These extended consumer profiles enable highly personalized recommendations—including health system transactions, services, and programs specific to each individual consumer.



    Our Consumer Experience Products and Services streamline the delivery of health-system branded signed-in experiences that fully utilize the power of the platform. Extend your existing custom web or mobile apps, or build new applications that utilize the Praia Health Platform, all via our Praia Health Platform API.


    The platform’s Ecosystem capabilities enable a health system to leverage their existing internal and 3rd party technology investments and take advantage of market-driven innovative solutions. The platform includes integration of the EMR and basic clinical services and can be expanded to support additional solutions for care delivery, population health, marketing, clinical trials research, wellness, revenue cycle, health plan solutions, care at home and more.



    New consumer insight will be realized through our Analytics and Insight Capabilities. The product is fully supported through our robust implementation, transition, and post-launch Service and Support offerings.



    By digitally engaging consumers in their personal health journey and then seamlessly connecting them to individualized services, support and resources, the Praia Health Identity and Engagement Platform creates and operationalizes a digital health flywheel—algorithmically driving net new direct and indirect revenue through recommended actions and operational efficiencies through self-service capabilities.

Use Cases

Description:

Elevate your approach to patient engagement

Achieve operational efficiencies, delight patients, and ease care management throughout the patient journey with an expanding portfolio of existing applications—or custom‑build your own. Work towards a comprehensive engagement strategy by continually adding automation where it makes sense. Our single solution can easily expand to additional patient journey use cases and channels.

NLU‑powered Intelligent Virtual Agent (IVA)

Deliver modern convenience when Nuance IVA accepts patient input in natural language, understands intent, and successfully resolves requests. Patients interact within natural conversations on phone lines, online chat, or messaging applications. System integration delivers access to information that drives effective self‑service capabilities, improving the patient experience.

Voice IVA routing

Surpass the capabilities of basic Interactive Voice Response (IVR), with Nuance IVA Routing on voice channels. Callers verbalize their needs—faster and easier than choosing from a laundry list of recited options—and are routed to mapped destinations like phone lines, self‑service options, or live agents. Patients get what they need while organizations decrease the number of calls handled by live agents.

Appointment Management

Automate the delivery of voice, email, and SMS appointment reminders based on real‑time data and extend the convenience of interactive confirming, cancelling, and rescheduling on the channel of contact. Alleviate care team manual work and speed service when patients modify or schedule appointments within an automated, conversational dialogue on voice and digital channels.

Patient Support

Empower patients to self‑serve telehealth visit preparation and patient portal account access or navigation issues. NLU‑powered conversational AI offers 24x7x365 bilingual assistance, with the option to transfer to a live agent.

Intelligent outreach

Strengthen the patient‑physician relationship and encourage good health with personalized outreach. From care gap reminders to broadcast messages to preventative screening notifications, thoughtful communication promotes wellness, protects revenue, and boosts satisfaction.

Patient FAQs

Extend the convenience of 24x7x365 access to answers to questions about patient care, appointments, billing, insurance, amenities, and services. Patients contact their provider on their channel of choice, interact conversationally, and receive requested information.

Rx management

Allow patients to self‑serve prescription refill requests that trigger automatic in‑workflow approval requests for physicians and refill status notifications for patients.

Biometric authentication

Protect patient data with biometric authentication through Nuance Gatekeeper and replace outdated, vulnerable authentication methods.

Do it yourself, but not alone

Harness the power of best‑in‑class Conversational AI services and APIs with Nuance Mix tooling platform and design a natural, conversational patient engagement experience. Use IVR and NLU, Text to Speech (TTS), and Speech to Text (STT) to power interactive dialogs. Once an application exists, quick adjustments allow deployment in multiple languages across multiple channels. Patients engage in natural conversations—no matter how they get in touch.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
  • Unlike EMR portals that only engage patients, Praia also enables engagement for services and programs outside of the EMR

  • Praia's identity services is managed at the Health System enterprise level allowing the health system to federate with the EMR and all other digital or platform application through secure sign on protocols.

  • Praia's personalization intelligence powers logged in users to have an n of 1 experience vs. the same experience that EMR portals provide. The adoption and ongoing engagement is higher with this function.
Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • Unlike traditional identity solutions Praia manages identity across the consumer health ecosystem both independently from and integrated with the health system’s EMR. Praia creates, verifies, and authenticates a consumer profile and combines those accounts with personalized recommendations across the entire care delivery ecosystem

  • Unlike mobile shell or DFD offerings Praia integrates data and digital health solutions into a single experience linked to a single identity layer that dynamically drives personalized experiences based upon what is known about that consumer.

  • Unlike CRMs that offer chort-level personalization for batch marketing campaigns & outreach Praia offers N of 1 personalization delivered algorithmically through consumer apps and web experiences, working either alongside or without a CRM.

  • Unlike messaging & communicaitons offerings that offer SMS outreach based on cohorts Praia systematically engages health consumers through highly personalized system- branded apps and web experiences.
