Frequently asked questions
- What can a WhatsApp chatbot do for healthcare?
- An AI assistant on the WhatsApp Business Platform that handles inbound messages, sends approved notifications and keeps the conversation in the app customers already use. For healthcare, common starting points are answering questions about services, locations, hours and accepted insurance; scheduling, rescheduling and pre-visit instructions; collecting intake details before a visit and routing clinical questions to staff.
- Does it work with the tools healthcare already use?
- Yes — the goal is to fit around EHR/EMR systems, patient portals, scheduling software and Salesforce Health Cloud, not replace them. Conversations sync to your CRM or help desk, and the bot can look up bookings, orders or account details through your existing systems.
- How long does rollout take?
- WhatsApp requires a verified Business account and pre-approved message templates, so rollout includes registering the number and getting templates approved before going live.
- How is patient privacy handled?
- Patient data needs careful handling. The assistant can be limited to non-clinical tasks, avoid collecting protected health information where it isn't needed, and hand anything clinical to staff. Anablock reviews these requirements with you during scoping.
