Why AI Chatbots Succeeded in the Healthcare and Banking Industry

With some help from life-changing technology like AI chatbots, the banking and healthcare industry is becoming as transformative as ever.

Since the surge of GPT-powered chatbots and chatbot integrations for better customer experience, its global impact across multiple industries including healthcare and banking resulted in a $195.85 million healthcare market size value, according to the Global Healthcare Chatbots in 2022, while the banking sector's cost savings will also be expected to reach $7.3 billion globally.

An investment worth keeping your eyes on.

Here are a couple of use cases that prove to be a massive success.

Surpassing a billion interactions, Bank of America’s virtual assistant with chatbot interface “Erica” has served and proved to be efficient since 2018 with promising jobs to carry out higher-value tasks and financial transactions.

Covid-19 has also evidently paved the way for the global healthcare sector to maximize the potential of AI assistants.

Leading countries like the US, India, Germany, the UK, and Brazil all joined the chat.

HealthDesk, a collaboration of The Indian Government and WhatsApp and other services during the pandemic, provided pre-consultant, vaccine tracking, and appointment booking prior to further tailored procedures with a user-friendly experience, making it extremely attractive to many corporations.

Although chatbots have initially been deployed to mainly provide information dissemination and risk assessment, the study shows, they are capable of much more.

What are the primary goals for both sectors?

What both industries have in common is that it requires customers’ trust in personal information to be handled professionally, the workload to be eased, and high-quality service to maintain.

These chatbots serve the purpose as it helps execute a number of tasks systematically and adaptively like providing tailored recommendations and scheduling a visit or request while detecting fraud with machine learning algorithms.
