Quick Start

Try these prompts immediately to see Healthcare Chatbot Pro in action:

Example 1: Deploy a Patient Query Bot

Deploy a healthcare chatbot for my orthopedic clinic. Configure it to answer:
Office hours and location
Insurance accepted (UnitedHealth, Aetna, Cigna, self-pay)
Common post-operative care questions
Prescription refill requests
Appointment rescheduling
Integrate with our Epic EMR and send appointment confirmations via SMS using Twilio.

Example 2: Automate Appointment Scheduling

Create an appointment scheduling workflow that:
1. Greets patients and identifies their reason for visit
2. Checks real-time availability from our Google Calendar
3. Books the appointment (if patient consents)
4. Sends confirmation SMS + email with pre-visit instructions
5. Sends reminder SMS 24 hours before appointment
6. Logs interaction to Salesforce Health Cloud
Providers available: Dr. Smith (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm), Dr. Chen (Tue, Thu 1pm-6pm)

Example 3: Multi-Language Patient Support

Configure chatbot to handle patient inquiries in English and Spanish.
Route complex medical questions to available providers via Slack.
Log all conversations for compliance and quality assurance.
Generate daily summary report of most common questions.

Example 4: Insurance & Billing Assistance

Train the chatbot to answer:
Which insurance plans we accept
Typical costs for common procedures
Pre-authorization requirements
Payment plan options
Out-of-pocket estimate calculations
Flag high-value billing questions for human review.

Capabilities

1. Intelligent Patient Query Response

Usage Example:

Patient: "I've had a cough for 3 weeks, should I come in?"
Chatbot: "I understand you're concerned about a persistent cough. 
While I can't diagnose conditions, I recommend scheduling with 
Dr. Smith (available tomorrow 2pm or Thursday 10am). 
Should I book an appointment?"

2. Appointment Scheduling & Management

Configuration:

// Example: Set up appointment rules
const appointmentConfig = {
  defaultDuration: 30, // minutes
  bufferTime: 15,      // between appointments
  reminderTiming: [1440, 180, 60], // minutes before appointment
  channels: ["sms", "email"],
  allowSelfReschedule: true,
  maxAdvanceBooking: 90 // days
};

3. EMR & CRM Integration

Data Flow:

Patient Query → Chatbot AI → EMR (Epic/Cerner) → Response → CRM Log
                                    ↓
                          Clinical Context
