The Need for Healthcare AI

Why healthcare needs AI

  • Repeated booking inquiries and confirmation calls

    Appointment bookings, inquiries and confirmation calls before tests, outpatient visits and surgery add to the repetitive workload of administrative staff.

  • Inquiries outside opening hours

    Inquiries continue at night and on weekends, but an immediate response is difficult when support staff are unavailable.

  • Different preparation for each patient

    Preparation, arrival times and the need for an accompanying caregiver vary by test or procedure, requiring guidance tailored to each patient.

  • Cost inquiries that depend on individual conditions

    Costs vary by coverage, non-covered services and insurance conditions, so explanations must follow information confirmed by the hospital.

  • Missed visits and follow-up care

    Follow-up contact is needed throughout the patient journey, from rescheduling missed appointments to post-operative guidance and regular checkups.

  • Identity verification and staff handoff

    Appointment and document requests require identity verification. Inquiries requiring individual confirmation belong with support staff, while medical judgments belong with healthcare professionals.

Healthcare AI

Confirmation calls before tests, visits and surgery

AI calls at times set by the hospital to confirm appointment details and the patient's intention to attend. It explains preparation, arrival times and caregiver requirements according to hospital guidance, and records test and outpatient confirmation results in the CRM to support follow-up.

Care-related inquiries and hospital information

The hospital knowledge base supports answers to recurring care-related inquiries. Information covers precautions before and after tests or surgery, procedures, symptoms, pain and side effects; diagnosis and individual medical judgments remain with healthcare professionals. Location, parking, opening hours, medical staff and estimated costs based on non-covered fees and insurance coverage also follow hospital guidance.

  1. 04

    Guidance on certificates and document requests

    Support covers identity verification, request submission and collection guidance for medical certificates, prescriptions, visit confirmations and medical opinion letters. Integration with document issuance systems is defined according to hospital procedures.

  2. 05

    AI responses and handoff to support staff

    AI provides information and handles appointment booking and confirmation. Requests to change or cancel appointments, or speak with a person, are passed to support staff. Outside opening hours, requests are recorded and callers are advised to expect a callback when the support team is available again.

  3. 06

    Patient requests, feedback and follow-up

    Administrative requests such as document applications, patient complaints and suggestions (VOC), and unanswered after-hours inquiries are logged as QnA items. Request details and contact information help staff review, process and follow up.

Healthcare Scenarios

How AI responds to patient inquiries

Care-related inquiry

Dental care · Aftercare following wisdom tooth extraction

Patient

I had a wisdom tooth removed. Can I rinse my mouth with water?

AI voicebot / chatbot

How long has it been since the extraction?

Patient

It was removed this morning.

AI voicebot / chatbot

Do not rinse your mouth or spit during the first 24 hours after extraction. This could dislodge the blood clot that protects the extraction site. If your dental clinic gave you specific instructions, please follow them.

Appointment change

After hours · Recording a change request

Patient

I'd like to change my appointment date.

AI voicebot / chatbot

Our support team is currently unavailable, so I'll record your request. Please tell me your existing appointment and your preferred new date and time.

Patient

I'd like to move my Tuesday afternoon appointment to Thursday morning.

AI voicebot / chatbot

Your request has been recorded. When the support team is available again, they will check appointment availability and contact you. The appointment change has not yet been confirmed.

During opening hours, callers are connected to appointment staff.

Document request

Recording the request for staff review

Patient

I'd like to request a confirmation of my hospital visit.

AI voicebot / chatbot

Which visit date do you need the confirmation for? Please also tell me how you'd like to receive it.

Patient

It's for my visit last week, and I'd like to collect it in person.

AI voicebot / chatbot

Your request for in-person collection has been recorded. A staff member will check the issuance process and collection availability, then provide further guidance.

These conversations have been adapted for illustration, and some steps such as identity verification are omitted. Actual guidance and procedures follow hospital policies. Diagnosis and individual medical judgments remain with healthcare professionals.

Expected Benefits

Reduce repetitive work and focus on patients

  1. 01

    Ease the burden of repetitive inquiries

    AI helps handle appointment inquiries and confirmation calls to reduce repetitive work and labor costs, allowing administrative staff to focus on scheduling and individual consultations.

  2. 02

    Stay connected beyond opening hours

    Patients can leave inquiries outside opening hours, and hospitals can review them and continue support when the support team is available again.

  3. 03

    Help patients prepare for their visits

    Hospital-approved guidance helps reduce conflicting information and enables patients to understand and prepare what they need before their visit.

  4. 04

    Plan follow-up care

    Organizing follow-up contacts and topics helps staff continue rescheduling and post-visit guidance, with the aim of improving scheduling and the patient experience.

Healthcare Security

Standards for support that handles patient information

Design support to protect patient information and give staff the information they need to continue the conversation.
Identity verification and consent
Appointment and document workflows guide patients through identity verification and consent to personal information collection and use. Verification methods such as mobile authentication or a simple PIN, and consent to receive messages, are defined according to hospital operating requirements.
Sensitive information protection and access control
Masking and access controls are designed to limit staff access to the information needed for their work. Collection and retention scope, encryption coverage and access logs are also defined according to hospital policies.
On-premises or cloud deployment
On-premises or cloud deployment is considered according to the hospital's information handling policies and operating environment.

Healthcare Template

A template for hospital support

HealthCare Template is a set of pre-designed workflows for turning recurring hospital inquiries into voicebot and chatbot services.

  1. 01

    Shorten preparation with pre-designed workflows

    Apply pre-designed conversation scenarios and deliverables to hospital procedures to help reduce the effort of defining workflows and preparing implementation.

  2. 02

    From questionnaires and reminders to follow-up care

    Pre-visit questionnaires are sent when an appointment is confirmed, and AlimTalk or SMS reminders the day before help patients prepare. Automated calls to patients who miss appointments record the reason and their preferred time to reschedule. Post-operative follow-up calls, medication guidance based on prescriptions and regular checkup reminders are planned extensions, including connection to medical staff or advice to visit when warning signs defined by healthcare professionals are identified.

  3. 03

    Specialty-specific scenarios and multilingual support

    Conversation scenarios are configured for specialties such as ophthalmology, dentistry and dermatology. Multilingual support includes Korean, English and Spanish. Support can be extended to additional languages to suit the hospital's patient population.

  4. 04

    Integration with existing EMR and PMS systems

    The integration scope is reviewed so that appointment information and clinical schedules in existing EMR and PMS systems can support conversations. Real-time integration and processing permissions are defined according to system interfaces and operating conditions.

  5. 05

    Expansion through connected AI products

    Extend patient support by integrating generative AI agents (CogXi), document-based answers (DocStore), voicebots with visual interfaces (CogInsight), and assistance for human agents (C3).
