Conversational AI is an advanced technology that allows machines to understand, process, and respond to human language in a way that is both contextually relevant and interactive. Within the healthcare sector, this technology is increasingly deployed to automate routine tasks and deliver a more robust and personalized patient experience. Conversational AI leverages a combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and occasionally deep learning to interpret and respond to user inputs, with a conversational user interface that mimics human interaction. Digital health companies deploy conversational AI through chatbots, voice assistants, messaging apps, or any other type of platform where natural language interactions occur.

What is the digital front door? Digital front door describes a set of interactive and transaction-ready capabilities to enable digital interactions between patients and health systems throughout the care journey, from pre-service to follow-up and payment. When leveraged appropriately, a digital front door strategy can improve patient experiences, drive access, and reduce (or eliminate) reliance on paper-based workflows and manual processes.

Patients demand convenient healthcare access akin to online services. A robust digital front door, integrating online scheduling, telehealth, patient portals, symptom checkers, and payment management, is crucial. It offers a competitive edge by enhancing accessibility, patient loyalty, brand perception, market reach, revenue, and leveraging data for insights, ensuring health systems meet modern expectations and stay competitive. Modern patients rightly demand that healthcare access be as straightforward as ordering a meal online or hailing a ride, which is still far from the norm.

According to a report from Accenture, patients are increasingly switching providers, and at least a portion say it’s because of the digital experience. In fact, the report goes on to show that digital engagement is a strong predictor of loyalty. Increasingly, patients say they are less likely to stay with a provider who doesn’t provide a good digital experience, and a bad digital experience effects how they feel about their entire healthcare interaction. In other words, great care or bedside manner doesn’t mean a patient will stay if the rest of their experience doesn’t meet their needs.

Virtual visits are the ability for patients to access care remotely. It is being delivered in two ways: Synchronously with a scheduled or on-demand real-time encounter Asynchronously on-demand through email, text, or chat message

We are LifeScience Technologies, a healthcare technology company and the developer of the m.Care® virtual care platform. During COVID, we all saw the benefits of being able to treat patients remotely or virtually. Healthcare delivery has changed forever, and now the challenge is in providing an engaging and easy-to-use technology platform that meets the needs of populations and individuals. Access to and communication with the patient’s care team is critical, and patient adherence to care plans is crucial to improving outcomes. For some patients, it is not financially feasible to supply expensive equipment like Bluetooth scales, connected blood pressure cuffs or wearable devices. Social determinants of health are another key consideration when delivering a solution to meet the needs of entire populations. The m.Care platform is designed for ease of use and to encourage and support patient engagement. Our platform supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication–all HIPAA-compliant with data encrypted. Our objectives are to drive better patient outcomes and patient satisfaction through a robust and highly configurable virtual care platform that can accommodate as many patients as possible, with accessibility features that include voice commands in multiple languages for patients who are physically unable to use other means to report data.
