Chatbots powered by artificial intelligence appear as sensible tools in remote monitoring of patients and chronic disease management, with the possibility of improving diagnostic accuracy, supporting clinicists and increasing compliance with patients.
These were one of the results of the reviewed study “Medicine revolutionization: chatbota as catalysts to improve the diagnosis, treatment and support of patient”, published in Cureus.
The report claims that virtual assistants powered by artificial intelligence can facilitate in healthcare systems in solving lasting challenges in the field of access, efficiency and communication.
According to testsChatbots are already used for various clinical functions, from planning and segregation to symptom analysis and therapeutic support.
Scientists have noticed that these tools are particularly useful for managing high patient volumes, providing timely information and supporting chronic enormous -scale management.
While the fears of the safety, accuracy and privacy of patients remain, the report emphasizes that these challenges can be alleviated through well -designed systems that include clear disclosure of patients and human supervision.
Dr James Colbert, medical director for the experience of patients/suppliers at AI Commure, whose Memora health technology has been examined in the study, claims that the company already sees that these tools provide measurable results.
“Our goal from the first day was to use AI technologies and systems to design a support model that meets the patient’s needs,” said Colbert. “We use conversational artificial intelligence so that patients can write questions or fears directly from the phone and get an immediate response.”
The impact on patients’ involvement is noteworthy, and Colbert explains that due to the ease of apply in this system, the involvement indicators are over 90% in patients who are saved.
“The use of the same approach allows us to support compliance with the patient’s care plan, and some clients see the adjacent indicators of up to 97%,” he added.
The study notes that timely, available information play a central role in managing these results.
Chatbots can facilitate in resolving medical instructions and provide reminders or explanations in real time, especially in patients with chronic diseases who require constant guidelines.
“Studies have shown that on average, only half of patients with a chronic disease adjacent to their care and medicine plans according to the instructions,” said Colbert. “Patients expect support on demand and this is not what most healthcare systems work.”
One of the main advantages emphasized in the study is the scalability of chatbots in distant environments.
Chatbots can manage enormous amounts of patient interactions without increasing the load on staff – necessary consideration because health care systems encounter growing financial and surgical pressure.
“The employment of more full-time employees is not simply feasible in this environment,” said Colbert. “Currently, there is great interest in using technology and automation to provide patients’ support and their needs.”
In addition to savings of chatbota, AI powered can also improve patients’ retention and satisfaction.
“A satisfied patient is more likely to use the same healthcare organization for the additional needs of care and directing family and friends members,” he said.
While the concerns about the security and privacy of data remain, Colbert said they are solved by thoughtful system design.
“We employ clinicians to review all content and interaction before saving live patients,” he said. “We set the triggers and thresholds when to introduce a man into the loop.”
Patients are aware that they interact with a virtual assistant and can ask the clinicist at any time.
The results of the survey suggest that as the RPM programs develop and the evolution of patients’ expectations, the integration of AI powered support tools can be the key to maintaining balanced and responding healthcare systems.
“We don’t replace a clinicist,” said Colbert. “We create a care model that scales wiser.”
