Frequently asked questions
+ What is a patient engagement chatbot?
A patient engagement chatbot engages patients automatically whenever they visit your website. It can be set to automatically open and ask a question or start off closed and only open when a patient clicks on the chatbot icon. It serves to engage the patient and provides them assistance if they have a question or want to schedule an appointment.
+ Does engaging do anything??
According to our 100,000+ chats analyzed, the more messages a person has with a chatbot, the more likely they are to convert or become an actual customer a little down the line. As long as the chatbot accurately responds to their queries and does not fail to respond, there is a higher chance of them feeling satisfied with the customer support provided.
A great way our clients use a chatbot to engage patients is with quizzes or assessments. For example, a medical spa uses the chatbot to ask users if they would like to take a quiz that recommends a service based on their goals and replies. And assuming the patient knows what they want, but does not know what the service is called, they can take the quiz and have the service they desire recommended to them.
+ Benefits for patients?
Patients expect immediate replies to their requests nowadays with chatbots being used in so many non-healthcare businesses. If they cannot easily navigate to a page with the answer to their question, there is a higher chance of them bouncing and going to another provider. A chatbot can either provide the answer through the chatbot or direct them to a page with an answer.
As long as the chatbot does not mess up and provides an adequate answer, the chatbot can help guide patients to a goal while answering their questions.
+ How do patients engage with a chatbot?
Most patients see a chatbot as a way to speak to a live agent or to have their questions answered in an interactive way. Patients expect immediate replies to their queries nowadays with chatbots being used in so many non-healthcare businesses. If they cannot easily navigate to a page with the answer to their question, there is a higher chance of them bouncing and going to another provider.
Despite providing set multiple-choice options that creators expect chat requests to be, most patients still type in a question that can be answered by following the multiple-choice prompts. This is where AI comes in and enables the chat to extract keywords to then provide an answer. The chatbot can either provide the answer through the chatbot or direct them to a page with an answer.
+ AI usage in patient engagement?
AI in chatbots is used to extract keywords in patient messages. Whenever patients go off script and type in a question instead of following a predetermined flow, a chatbot that does not use AI fails to understand and replies with a message that usually causes the patient to exit the chatbot.
The data sources an AI engine learns from is an important factor in whether or not an AI can pull the correct information. Most chatbots use one data source of keywords to detect and to have certain responses to those keywords, but this does not work well in cases where patients do not use provided keywords.
SmartBot360’s AI uses data from four sources to have a more comprehensive AI that does not get confused. Aside from setting up the flow diagram, SmartBot360 users can also upload a FAQ sheet that contains keywords and answers, previous chat logs, and pages on their website. AI is important in healthcare chatbots because whenever a patient has an emergency or asks something similar to an existing question, it can answer or direct them to the appropriate page with the next steps to take.

What our clients say:
Improving customer service with chatbots in healthcare
Increase Practice Revenue While Lowering Costs: Our chatbots in healthcare can automate Provider Searches, Appointment Reminders, Evaluation Surveys, Insurance Benefit FAQs, Appointment Setting, and more. As soon as you set up the chatbot once, it can run 24/7 without extra manpower aside from chats needing live assistance. Our dashboard was designed to make it easy to optimize your chatbot for fewer drop-offs and more conversions.
Message and Engage ALL potential patients: The number one benefit of having a chatbot “receptionist” is that it can work 24/7 to help people facing emergencies at night or visitors looking for an office near them. By automatically sending a welcome to website visitors with a chatbot, it gives website visitors the option to interact with the bot to help them find an answer to their problem immediately. In some cases, they are just looking for an exact solution to their problem, and our AI-powered chatbot can guide them to their desired service and help them book an appointment through the HIPAA-Compliant chat when they want.

Patient Engagement and Care with SmartBot360
For most healthcare businesses, when you have a new website visitor, it is because they need assistance now, or sometime soon. By having a chatbot screen & engage website visitors, those that need help now can interact with the chatbot to schedule an appointment immediately and get useful information or see a brief overview of recommended services. Or if they are just looking for the best option near them, the chatbot can be used to show the website visitor everything they need to know and why they should choose your business. By engaging and providing recommended services, it can help those that need help find their desired service quickly and book an appointment right away.
SmartBot360 screens patients by asking key questions to help filter and categorize these website visitors, while also using conditional branching so that every visitor has their specific need addressed. Then once they go through the appropriate steps, SmartBot360 can help them schedule an appointment with scheduling software or simply collect their email/phone number through the HIPAA-Compliant chat.
If the website visitor’s need was not addressed by the chatbot, or if they want to speak with an actual person, SmartBot360 can send notifications to the right agent by passing on all the necessary info and chat history.
