Solving Healthcare's Quagmires with Conversational AI.

For the last couple of years AI has been touted as a possible solution for the endemic inefficiency that plagues the healthcare industry. In the United States approximately a third of government spending on healthcare goes to administrative costs. The current global pandemic has accelerated this process by further exposing the frailties of the healthcare industry.

Emphasis on these issues has led many to proclaim that the future of AI in healthcare is Conversational.
