Client Business Description

Company Background

Given that, people often want immediate answers and most traditional customer support systems are not equipped to handle these conversations, our Healthcare industry client was looking forward to implement the chatbot which could help them to solve some of his prevailing issues. The client wanted a way to make their services available 24/7,provide instant responses to customer questions, have an ability to understand the natural language, and make their booking procedure as seamless and accessible as possible. Analyzing the problems, the evident solution which came in the mind was having a AI powered chatbot or a healthcare bot!

Our Solution

chatbot

Beyond Key developed and deployed a chatbot on the client’s website which is available 24/7 to instantly answer to visitor’s questions, and enables faster query resolutions by guiding the user through every step. This means that human agents do not need to spend their time answering these basic questions.

Finding the right doctors for their problem and booking an appointment is easily handled with the help of a chatbot. Whenever someone requests an appointment, the bot first checks the doctors’ calendar and proceeds further with slots for which doctor is available. Not only that, an appointment will get fixed only after both parties accept invite.

chatbot

The bot is powered with Language Understanding (LUIS) and QnA Maker (Azure Bot Service). LUIS helps build natural language into a bot. The bot can answer questions defined in a knowledge set or FAQ using Cognitive Services QnA Maker. The bot is capable of storing any new question asked by the user in the database.

Along with this, we have also introduced a new feature called use of Adaptive cards or Hero cards within our Bot framework. Adaptive Cards are a newer feature to the Bot Framework, and while still in preview mode, they are a valuable tool for developers to use inside and outside of chatbots. Adaptive Cards can be a great option for displaying meaningful information to users in an image/picture or graphic form where text might not be the best option.

How It Works

Steps to set up knowledge base or FAQs

  • First, multiple questions mapped with a suitable answer are saved with in the saved in separate module.
  • Using the custom application bot, the user requests information.
  • Cognitive Services (LUIS) helps process the natural language request and identifies the module in which the answer is written.
  • LUIS also helps to find the most suitable answer of the query.
  • The response is returned to the customer by LUIS.
  • If LUIS is not able to answer, the question goes in fallout and QnA maker answers the question.

Steps to set up a new appointment with doctor

  • Using the custom application bot, the user requests to book an appointment.
  • The bot asks the visitor details and checks with the clinic/ doctor calendar.
  • If the slot is free, it sends message to both the parties and books appointment.
  • Using the API’s, the appointment is booked and LUIS returns the result to the bot.
