Product Capabilities

Our platform automates appointment management, including scheduling, rescheduling, confirming, and canceling patient appointments.

Patients and providers converse in natural language with AI agents powered by our Conversational AI platform to complete tasks, resolve issues, and find information. Conversations with our AI agents are free-flowing and bidirectional.

Our AI agents are context-aware, taking into account previous and current conversations with users when forming a response. Our AI agents also leverage secure integrations with EHRs to provide users with personalized and relevant information and assistance based on their records.

Our Conversational AI platform integrates with numerous EHR systems, including Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and others. In addition, our platform is equipped with 40+ out-of-the-box channel gateways, including with Cisco, Five9, and WhatsApp, as well as with email and contact center systems.

We are committed to protecting patient privacy. We are HIPAA compliant, as well as ISO27001, SOC2 Type II, and PCI-DSS certified.

Our AI agents can be deployed across any channel where humans also provide support (i.e. phone, text, webchat, etc.). Across all voice and chat channels, our AI agents conduct natural language conversations that feel like talking with a human.

Our platform is capable of conducting thousands of concurrent conversations. This capability allows the platform to scale when demand spikes, and/or as use cases and user adoption grows.

Our platform is always on the cutting-edge of AI innovation. We leverage the latest AI technologies and methodologies, such as agentic AI, generative AI, and LLMs, to deliver powerful solutions that drive long-term value for our customers and their customers.

AI agents built on our Conversational AI platform use the most up-to-date information from health systems' websites and content sources to deliver relevant and accurate responses to users.

HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II Compliant

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Our Conversational AI platform is:

  • A voice-enabled platform for contact center transformation
  • Omnichannel (voice, SMS, webchat, etc.)
  • Fully interoperable with existing CCaaS technology
  • Able to respond using answers generated from a health system's website content, as well as from pre-determined FAQs
Differentiators vs Competitors:

Our Conversational AI platform:

  • Communicates using human-like natural language
  • Leverages our proprietary voice AI
  • Is end-to-end fully interoperable with Epic and other EHR systems
  • Is a universal platform for patient-facing, member-facing, and employee-facing use cases
  • Scales to handle thousands of concurrent interactions
  • Has financial stability from being part of the largest public conversational AI company
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Hyro layers on top of EHR functionality, adding natural language understanding to pre-existing workflows and use cases across Epic, Cerner and Athena.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Our main competitors, such as Syllable and Nuance, focus on intent-based voice solutions. Intent, within the conversational AI space, usually means "if X then Y". For example, if AVIA says "red" then stop. We know that conversations need to be more flexible than a rigid flow chart of intents, so Hyro invented a new language-based approach called Adaptive Communications, which uses a knowledge graph, computational linguistics and natural language understanding to simplify and speed up deployment processes. Because of our approach, health systems do not need to constantly update their voice interfaces based on ever-changing content. It also means that typical challenges with conversational AI, including adding new use cases to existing deployments, are nullified with the ability to layer on new data without retraining the model. Ultimately, the time and cost saved by switching from intent-based to language-based is what drove Intermountain Healthcare, Baptist Health, Novant Health and plenty of other health systems to Adaptive Communications.

Unique Benefits: 

  • No-code, effortless deployment, and maintenance that doesn’t require any playbooks or training data
  • Voice AI that adjusts to changes in context
  • Fast automation of dozens of customized use cases and skills simultaneously
  • Industry-leading understanding rate at an average of 85-90%
  • Seamless live handoff between AI and agents on Cisco, Genesys, NICE, Twilio and more
  • Automatic 24/7 scraping of data sources including websites, EMRs/ CRMs, APIs, and client databases
  • Real-time dashboard with insights (trends, keywords, and metrics) that helps to optimize digital services
  • Explainability that allows health systems to understand why/how AI provides all outputs
