Enhancing digital patient experience with healthcare chatbots

5 minutes read

Chatbots are fast emerging at the forefront of user engagement across industries. In 2021, healthcare is undoubtedly being touted as one of the most important industries due to the noticeable surge in demand amid the pandemic and its subsequent waves. The Global Healthcare Chatbots Market is expected to exceed over US$ 314.63 Million by 2024 at a CAGR of 20.58%.

Chatbots are being seen as those with high potential to revolutionize healthcare. They act as the perfect support system to agents on the floor by providing the first-step resolution to the customer, in terms of understanding intent and need, boost efficiency, and also improve the accuracy of symptom detection and ailment identification, preventive care, feedback procedures, claim filing and processing and more.

At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital tools in healthcare, most commonly chatbots, rose to the forefront of healthcare solutions. Providence St. Joseph Health, Mass General Brigham, Care Health Insurance (formerly Religare), and several other notable names built and rolled out artificial intelligence-based chatbots to help with diagnostics at the first stage before a human-human virtual contact, especially while differentiating between possible COVID-19 cases and other ailments. The CDC also hosts an AI-driven chatbot on its website to help screen for coronavirus infections. Similarly, the World Health Organization (WHO) partnered with a messaging app named Ratuken Viber, to develop an interactive chatbot for accurate information about COVID-19 in multiple languages. This allowed WHO to reach up to 1 billion people located anywhere in the world, at any time of the day, in their respective native languages.

For Care Health Insurance, Mantra Labs deployed their Conversational AI Chatbot with AR-based virtual support, called Hitee, trained to converse in multiple languages. This led to 10X interactions over the previous basic chatbot; 5X more conversions through Vanilla Web Experience; Drop-in Customer Queries over Voice Support by 20% among other benefits.

Artificial Intelligence’s role in the healthcare industry has been growing strength by strength over the years. According to the global tech market advisory firm ABI Research, AI spending in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries is expected to increase from $463 million in 2019 to more than $2 billion over the next 5 years, healthtechmagazine.net has reported. 

Speaking of key features available on a healthcare chatbot, Anonymity; Monitoring; Personalization; collecting Physical vitals (including oxygenation, heart rhythm, body temperature) via mobile sensors; monitoring patient behavior via facial recognition; Real-time interaction; and Scalability, feature top of the list. 

However, while covering the wide gamut of a healthcare bot’s capabilities, it is trained on the following factors to come in handy on a business or human-need basis. Read on: 

Remote, Virtual Consults 

Chatbots were seen surging exponentially in the year 2016, however, the year 2020 and onwards brought back the possibility of adding on to healthcare bot capabilities as people continued to stay home amid the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Chatbots work as the frontline customer support for Quick Symptom Assessment where the intent is understood and a patient’s queries are answered, including connection with an agent for follow-up service, Booking an Appointment with doctors, and more. 

Mental Health Therapy

Even though anxiety, depression, and other mental health-related disorders and their subsequent awareness have been the talk around the world, even before the pandemic hit, the pandemic year, once again could be attributed to increased use of bots to seek support or a conversation to work through their anxiety and more amid trying times. The popular apps, Woebot and Wysa, both gained popularity and recognition during the previous months as a go-to Wellness Advisor. 

An AI Wellness Advisor can also take the form of a chatbot that sends regular reminders on meal and water consumption timings, nutrition charts including requisite consultation with nutritionists, lifestyle advice, and more. 

Patient Health Monitoring via wearables 

Wearable technologies like wearable heart monitors, Bluetooth-enabled scales, glucose monitors, skin patches, shoes, belts, or maternity care trackers promise to redefine assessment of health behaviors in a non-invasive manner and helps acquire, transmit, process, and store patient data, thereby making it a breeze for clinicians to retrieve it as and when they need it.

Remote patient monitoring devices also enable patients to share updates on their vitals and their environment from the convenience and comfort of home, a feature that’s gained higher popularity amid the pandemic.

A healthcare chatbot for healthcare has the capability to check existing insurance coverage, help file claims and track the status of claims. 

What’s in store for the future of chatbots in Healthcare? 

The three main areas where healthcare chatbots can be particularly useful include timely health diagnostics, patient engagement outside medical facilities, and mental health care. 

According to Gartner, conversational AI will supersede cloud and mobile as the most important imperative for the next ten years. 

“For AI to succeed in healthcare over the long-term, consumer comfort and confidence should be front and center. Leveraging AI behind the scenes or in supporting roles could collectively ease us into understanding its value without risking alienation,” reads a May 2021 Forbes article titled, The Doctor Is In: Three Predictions For The Future Of AI In Healthcare.

NPS in Insurance Claims: What Insurance Leaders Are Doing Differently

Claims are the moment of truth. Are you turning them into moments of loyalty?

In insurance, your app interface might win you downloads. Your pricing might drive conversions.
But it’s the claims experience that decides whether a customer stays—or leaves for good.

According to a survey by NPS Prism, promoters are 2.3 times more likely to renew their insurance policies than passives or detractors—highlighting the strong link between customer advocacy and retention.

NPS in insurance industry is a strong predictor of customer retention. Many insurers are now prioritizing NPS to improve their claims experience.

So, what are today’s high-NPS insurers doing differently? Spoiler: it’s not just about faster payouts.

We’ve worked with claims teams that had best-in-class automation—but still had low NPS. Why? Because the process felt like a black box.
Customers didn’t know where their claim stood. They weren’t sure what to do next. And when money was at stake, silence created anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Great customer experience (CX) in claims isn’t just about speed—it’s about giving customers a sense of control through clear communication and clarity.

The Traditional Claims Journey

  • Forms → Uploads → Phone calls → Waiting
  • No real-time updates
  • No guidance after claim initiation
  • Paper documents and email ping-pong

The result? Frustrated customers and overwhelmed call centers.

The CX Gap: It’s Not Just Speed—It’s Transparency

Customers don’t always expect instant decisions. What they want:

  • To know what’s happening with their claim
  • To understand what’s expected of them
  • To feel heard and supported during the process

How NPS Leaders Are Winning Loyalty with CX-Driven Claims and High NPS

Image Source: NPS Prism

1. Real-Time Status Updates

Transparency to the customer via mobile app, email, or WhatsApp—keeping them in the loop with clear milestones. 

2. Proactive Nudges

Auto-reminders, such as “upload your medical bill” or “submit police report,” help close matters much faster and avoid back-and-forth.

3. AI-Powered Document Uploads

Single-click scans with OCR + AI pull data instantly—no typing, no errors.

4. In-the-Moment Feedback Loops

Simple post-resolution surveys collect sentiment and alert on issues in real time.

For e.g., Lemonade uses emotional AI to detect customer sentiment during the claims process, enabling empathetic responses that boost satisfaction and trust.

Smart Nudges from Real-Time Journey Tracking

For a leading insurance firm, we mapped the entire in-app user journey—from buying or renewing a policy to initiating a claim or checking discounts. This helped identify exactly where users dropped off. Based on real-time activity, we triggered personalized notifications and offers—driving better engagement and claim completion rates.

Tech Enablement

  • Claims Orchestration Layer: Incorporates legacy systems, third-party tools, and front-end apps for a unified experience.
  • AI & ML Models: For document validation, fraud detection, and claim routing, sentiment analysis is used. Businesses utilizing emotional AI report a 25% increase in customer satisfaction and a 30% decrease in complaints, resulting in more personalized and empathetic interactions.
  • Self-Service Portals: Customers can check their status, update documents, and track payouts—all without making a phone call.

Business Impact

What do insurers gain from investing in CX?

A faster claim is good. But a fair, clear, and human one wins loyalty.

And companies that consistently track and act on CX metrics are better positioned to retain customers and build long-term loyalty.

At Mantra Labs, we help insurers build end-to-end, tech-enabled claims journeys that delight customers and drive operational efficiency.
From intelligent document processing to AI-led nudges, we design for empathy at scale.

Want a faster and more transparent claims experience?

Let’s design it together.
