LifeLink Chatbots to Provide COVID-19 Screening and Testing for Jefferson Health

by

To respond to the Coronavirus crisis, Jefferson Health will be using LifeLink chatbots to automate clinical screening and testing.

The initiative is a three-pronged approach to automation, according to the announcement Jefferson Health made today. The new conversational chatbots can:

  • Conduct a risk assessment based on patient symptoms and exposure profile
  • Connect screened patients with recommended care pathways and action steps
  • Automate the clinical intake process for patients who need to schedule appointments

The bot is currently live on the Jefferson Health appointments website, and the company recommends patients use the chatbot before calling or visiting one of its facilities.

LifeLink also provides a smart conversation platform for Banner Health.

The company allows users to add a video component to emails through a pretty straight-forward interface. It’s a simple and clever way for teachers to personalize assignments and lessons, and provides a familiar face – literally – during a time when folks are disconnected by design.
