Medical Chatbots with AI in Brief
Perfectly imitating human interaction, AI-powered medical chatbots can improve the quality and availability of care and patient engagement, drive healthcare and administrative staff productivity, facilitate disease self-management. AI chatbots often complement patient-centered medical software (e.g., telemedicine apps, patient portals) or solutions for physicians and nurses (e.g., EHR, hospital apps).
Essential Market Insights
The global healthcare chatbot market was estimated at $300.6 million in 2023. By 2032, it is forecasted to reach $1.3 billion, growing at a CAGR of 17.29%. The rise in demand is supported by increased adoption of innovations, lack of patient engagement, and need to automate initial patient assessment.
Medical Chatbots, Explained
Architecture
The natural language processing module recognizes the essence of a person’s audio or text message (symptoms description, etc.) and transforms it into a structured request. Then, AI chatbot can:
Trigger the data retrieval (e.g., potential diagnoses, patient health records) from a knowledge base or an integrated app (e.g., EHR, CRM, HealthKit, Google Health).
Authorize the requested operation in the integrated app (e.g., schedule an appointment).
Turn to the recommendation engine to run ML algorithms (e.g., for personalized treatment adjustments).
