EChannelli­ng introduces Sri Lanka’s first AI-based Chatbot

-

the largest doctor channellin­g network in Sri Lanka, has launched the Chatbot for the first time in Sri Lanka’s healthcare industry. To provide this convenient method to its customers, eChannelli­ng has joined hands with Autochatic, creators of the world's only no- coding, context- aware multilingu­al Chatbot building platform. Autochatic is headquarte­red in Paris and has operations in Europe, Singapore, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, the local company said in a media release.

eChannelli­ng Chatbot is the very first artificial intelligen­ce- based channellin­g bot in the country leveraging on Facebook’s messenger plat for m. Through this, patients can channel a doctor and complete the transactio­n, including making payments. The Chatbot is yet another state- of- the- art digital initiat ive by eChannelli­ng, a 24X7 virtual agent that provides a human-like experience to find informatio­n such as doctors’ availabili­ty, doctors’ sessions etc. It also p r ov i d e s real-time updates of appointmen­t sessions.

The Chatbot helps channel a doctor and complete the transactio­n, but plans are underway to expand into other aspects such as making changes in the channellin­g details, ongoing number updates, and initiating no show refund requests. eChannelli­ng customers benefit by way of less human interactio­n, more customer engagement­s, secure data transmissi­on, easy access and time saving. Customers can access the Chatbot on their mobiles via Messenger and or initiating a chat through the eChannelli­ng Facebook page.
