Walgreens/MDLive Expands Telehealth Visits to Consumers in 20 States
MDLIVE, a virtual medical and behavioral healthcare provider has announced the launch of Sophie, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot. The artificial intelligence-powered personal health assistant, Sophie is designed to mitigate the inconvenience, difficulties associated with registration process in virtual care platforms. 
 
Sophie’s name is rooted in Greek ideology and symbolizes “wisdom.Conversation is initiated with a user based on demographics and information entered throughout the registration interaction.” The chatbot’s abilities to recognize registration-related commands and address these needs will continue to advance as utilization of it progresses. 
 
The use of this technology can result in substantial improvements, including reducing costs, coordinating care more effectively, enhancing the experience between patient and physician and improving the overall consumer experience. For virtual care, artificial intelligence helps strike a balance between human interaction and technology, creating a more personalized experience for the consumer.
 
“The launch of Sophie supports one of our primary goals of improving the overall virtual care experience for consumers. Virtual care is intended to be a convenient and appropriate alternative to an emergency room or urgent care visit, but oftentimes the registration process is so cumbersome that it removes the convenience factor,” said Randy Parker, founder and chief business development officer of MDLIVE in a statement. “As technology continues to advance, and consumers demand more convenience associated with their care, healthcare must meet that demand. MDLIVE’s ability to do this breaks a barrier that historically has prevented consumers from embracing virtual care.”
