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.

With conversational AI involved, legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR still apply, but involve added complexity and dimensions. Within legal frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR, conversational AI raises new questions about patient privacy and compliance. For instance, can a chatbot be HIPAA-compliant? How do we ensure that the data processed through conversational interfaces receive the same level of security as traditional electronic health records? Legal authorities and legislative bodies are starting to tackle these issues, but healthcare providers must stay ahead of the curve to ethically utilize these tools and ensure legal compliance.

Consumers continue to expect more with each healthcare experience, and providers are grappling with how new market solutions can cater to non-loyal patients. Health systems operate in a progressively competitive environment as the supply of available healthcare services has grown. Meanwhile, consumers have adapted their lifestyles over the past three decades to a fast-paced, competitive, and accessible market. As a result, today’s healthcare consumers have a wide array of choices at their disposal, including a burgeoning array of telehealth options that can serve patients in any location.

Generative AI solutions offer incredible opportunities for the healthcare industry to improve care across multiple dimensions and provide accessible and engaging user experiences. It makes sense that healthcare entities want to implement these tools quickly to attain the promised benefits and avoid falling behind their competitors. But these technologies might still fall short of the hype, with significant shortcomings that may overshadow the advantages for many potential customers.
