What can an AI voice agent do for healthcare providers?

An AI voice agent for healthcare answers routine patient calls, books appointments into a connected calendar, and transfers urgent or clinical calls to staff. Bolna agents can answer a clinic's number at any hour and respond to questions from a knowledge base of your clinic information. You decide in the prompt which topics the agent handles and which go straight to a person. The same agents can also call patients for reminders and feedback.

How do you set up an AI voice agent for healthcare?

  1. Log in to Agent Studio at platform.bolna.ai and import the front desk agent template from the Agents Library.
  2. Write the prompt with what the agent may handle and a clear list of urgent or clinical situations it must transfer, and add your clinic documents and web pages as a knowledge base.
  3. Add the transfer call tool with your staff number, and the Cal.com calendar availability and booking tools for appointments.
  4. Buy or connect a phone number, set up inbound calling on it, and optionally look up returning patients by phone number through your API, a CSV or a Google Sheet.
  5. Review transcripts and extracted fields after each call, and use batch calling with calling hours for reminder and feedback calls.
