In healthcare, patient satisfaction depends on how quickly people can get accurate information. From checking appointment availability to asking about medication instructions, patients need answers right away. But overloaded phone lines and busy front-desk staff often lead to long wait times, missed calls, and frustrated patients.

AI chatbots give healthcare providers a way to improve patient support by offering instant answers, 24/7 availability, and appointment booking options. Instead of waiting for a receptionist or nurse, patients can interact with a secure, embedded AI chatbot that guides them to the information they need.

How AI Chatbots Work in Healthcare

When you create your AI chatbot with Dante AI, you can:

• Upload patient FAQs, clinic policies, and instructions so the AI chatbot can provide accurate answers.
• Link appointment scheduling tools so patients can book directly without calling.
• Choose when booking options appear — at the start of the conversation or after confirming patient needs.
• Enable lead capture so the clinic can follow up on questions or reminders.
• Review AI chatbot logs to see what patients ask most often and improve communication.

This setup reduces administrative pressure while ensuring patients always feel supported.
