About the Chatbots by Conversa:

Leveraging the virtual health platform of the company, the chatbots facilitates monitoring, engaging, and managing patient health. And, this is not for a particular use-case as it covers OBGYN, acute discharge, chromic care, perioperative, and other cases. Besides, the frequency of outreach is beyond what one sees in in-person or even telemedicine interactions.

Here, it is noteworthy that New York is a hotspot of such technological intervention. And, one witnesses about 3 major healthcare providers making use of Conversa’s chatbots and programs to manage cases.

This is not a surprise really for those who know the condition of New York. However, to spell it out for those who don’t – the state is bursting at the seams with cases. As a result, certain shortages are emerging and Northwell’s Michael Dowling – the CEO – is now overseeing the situation.

Here, note that the healthcare system is glad with the impact created by the scale and speed of these. As per Holly Kohler, VP – Patient Access Services – Northwell, use of a number of Conversa programs is of much help.
