Artificial Intelligence Can Improve Patient Management at the Time of a Pandemic: The Role of Voice Technology

Artificial intelligence–driven voice technology deployed on mobile phones and smart speakers has the potential to improve patient management and organizational workflow. Voice chatbots have been already implemented in health care–leveraging innovative telehealth solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. They allow for automatic acute care triaging and chronic disease management, including remote monitoring, preventive care, patient intake, and referral assistance. This paper focuses on the current clinical needs and applications of artificial intelligence–driven voice chatbots to drive operational effectiveness and improve patient experience and outcomes.

Analysis of Voice Assistants in the Healthcare Industry

Modern advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have made it possible for users to converse verbally with voice assistants (VAs), sometimes known as "voice chatbots" or "conversational agents." In a standalone smart speaker, such as the Home Pod, Amazon Echo, Google Home, or smartphones, a software layer called a virtual assistant (VA), which is illustrated by Apple's Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant, allows for the understanding of human speech.

 Technically speaking, conversational agents are cloud-based services that convert speech to text and text to speech when a user invokes a wake word and a voice command. When integrated with a computerized clinical decision support system (CDSS), the use of VAs in healthcare can support the provision of care in a typical clinical setting. This robotic process automation (RPA) chatbots may conduct rule-based tasks (such as digital patient triaging) with the decision-making capacity of a human health care expert. Voice technology has already been tried out in a variety of settings to support routine clinical tasks. Its uses encompass the following:

    1. Services at the educational level provide knowledge-based answers to frequently requested issues (such as first aid guidelines).

    2. Process optimization (such as bedside aides, prescription refills, appointment scheduling, and paperless documentation).

Support for patients through tailored, rule-based clinical recommendations (such as recommendations to cut back on carbohydrate intake for patients with diabetes mellitus).

    3. Data collection services, such as the gathering of patient-reported outcomes, biometric tracking, and identification of changes in health status as demonstrated by the gathering of medical history or remote home monitoring, are categorized as medical device data systems by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    4. Solutions combining voice interface with CDSS that are medical device-grade and intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent disease. These solutions have been dubbed "Software as a Medical Device" by the FDA.

Healthcare facilities have started implementing education-level VA services that give patients direction, instructions, and guidance. Examples of these facilities include WebMD, Cleveland Clinic's Tip of the Day, Boston Children's KidsMD, Mayo Clinic's First Aid, American Red Cross First Aid, Mayo Clinic's News Network, Boston Children's My Children's Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, Ohio Health, or New Hanover Regional Medical Center. For instance, the Mayo Clinic's First Aid application for Amazon Alexa offers self-care guidance for common mistakes. Users can utilize a voice interface to ask for instructions on how to treat a fever or what to do in the event of burns or spider bites. These instances demonstrate how conversational systems can be used to react to search queries linked to health. Patients with diabetes mellitus can also use the Livongo Blood Sugar Lookup app, which helps them keep track of the blood sugar levels that are logged using the Livongo meter. Through vocal input, this solution delivers the most recent blood glucose values.

Patients have found that using VAs to optimize processes and workflow has helped manage their medication at home. The Giant Eagle Pharmacy app, which works with Alexa, enables users to schedule reminders and assists with prescription refills via home delivery options. The Express Scripts app offers a similar range of features. Swedish Health Connect, a service offered by Providence St. Joseph Health, also enables the scheduling of medical visits by alerting patients to upcoming appointments that are close to their residences. Similar to this, the Atrium Health app offers details about the closest urgent care facility as well as hospital wait times, operating hours, and contact information, enabling people to arrange a same-day visit with a healthcare professional. 

To improve communication with care teams and intelligent request routing, OrbitaASSIST speech technology was also incorporated as a bedside companion. Additionally, Nationwide Children's Hospital (Columbus, Ohio) researchers created the SpeakHealth voice interactive service for the care coordination of kids with complex medical issues, confirming the usefulness of voice-enabled technology in pediatrics. At the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, conversational agents have also been shown to improve hospital operations. They assist medical staff with time-consuming paperwork tasks and automate the collection and documentation of medical data through the CardioCube voice app, which is integrated with an electronic health record (EHR) (accuracy=97.5%). 

A holistic medical approach that promotes continuity and care coordination must include personalized clinical instructions. With the help of Answers by Cigna, health coach programs can navigate treatment options, provide wellness advice, and track patient incentive programs. For the continuity of chronic, preventive, and therapeutic treatment, OrbitaCONNECT offers a virtual health assistant. Additionally, users of Talkspace's Alexa skills have access to a collection of mental health tools and exams.

Voice AI-powered end-to-end systems can be used for standard clinical care. CardioCube enables the collection of biometric data collected at the patients' residences as well as patient-reported results. The voice assistant asks the patient, "What's your blood pressure?" at the set moment to start a medical discourse. The patient then uses a regular monitor to take his or her blood pressure and reads the results to the voice assistant. Let's check your ischemia and bleeding risk again," or "Let's inquire about dyspnea, quality of life, or prompts for tasks like CHA2DS2-VASc/HAS-BLED scores," are among the questions that CardioCube also poses.

A proprietary server associated with the EHR system receives the findings after that, and CardioCube automatically sends any concerning reports along with them. This system, which conforms with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and HIPAA, was validated at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and designated by the FDA as a Medical Device Data System. The Family Care Network in Bellingham, Washington, also adopted CardioCube for adult patients with diabetes and heart failure who needed remote home monitoring.

Using the CardioCube voice app, patients with diabetes mellitus can automatically generate a medical report from their chat with the virtual assistant (see, for example, Figure 1 and Multimedia Appendix 1 for examples).

Figure 1. Medical reports are generated automatically from the artificial intelligence–driven CardioCube voice app for patients with diabetes.

Further, with a focus on cardiovascular disorders, Shara et al. from MedStar Health Research Institute conducted a clinical trial for patients with heart failure using Amazon Alexa as an automated personal health assistant to improve clinical care (trial registration# NCT03707275). During a 3-month follow-up phase (after the trial was completed and while waiting for the results to be published), outcome measures included changes in the number of hospitalizations and medication adherence. VAs have also been used in other branches of medicine. For instance, Beaman et al. from the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences started a study to see whether vocal responses gathered through Amazon Alexa are useful in measuring participant levels of depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (trial registration# NCT04609267).

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines SaMD, which includes services intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent disease, as the most cutting-edge medical software solutions. It's interesting to note that regulatory bodies frequently make it easier to integrate chatbot technology into healthcare settings, especially in light of the current pandemic. For instance, the FDA determined that the Danish COVID-19 RPA triaging chatbot, which uses if-then branching logic, posed a "lower risk" even though it included a diagnostic component while the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was not in effect. To our knowledge, none of the VA's existing healthcare apps fall within the SaMD category.

How Can Voice Technology Fill the Gaps?

The COVID-19 pandemic's inability to provide clinical consultations in person has sped up the adoption of telemedicine services. Within a few weeks, the adoption of virtual care solutions multiplied up to tenfold, allowing patients to get clinical treatment remotely. The majority of these solutions included real-time, simultaneous contact between patients and healthcare professionals. Notably, this strategy requires a lot of time and resources and is ineffective for patient populations with a high number of patients. One telenurse can remotely monitor up to 250 patients in advanced telehealth systems; nevertheless, only infrequent phone calls can be made to a single patient. New digital technologies had to be put into use because of the COVID-19 epidemic, especially AI-powered medical chatbots. Through acute care triaging, these chatbots have the potential to increase access to healthcare. This is advantageous for COVID-19 screening and the management of chronic diseases (long-term home follow-up, scheduling of doctor appointments, and preventive care). Many healthcare systems, including Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, Massachusetts; >40,000 digital encounters/week), OSF Healthcare (Peoria, Illinois; >50,000 digital encounters), and Providence (Seattle, Washington; >150,000 messages exchanged each day bet), have already used interactive voice response systems and chatbots to run hotlines helping to triage patients during the COVID-19 pandemic for organizational optimization.

Voice AI chatbots offer a tool for prehospital triaging at the digital front door, evaluating the clinical condition of patients before they make direct contact with a healthcare provider. They achieve this using a user-friendly and accessible interface. The Cardiology Heart Failure Clinic at McGill University Health Centre is evaluating the deployment of a COVID-19 screening tool that employs Amazon Alexa to automatically interview patients (trial registration number NCT04508972). A self-assessment feature is included in Apple's Siri that enables users to look for probable COVID-19 symptoms. The Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Michigan) created an automated COVID-19 triaging service on the Alexa platform, following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and handling a sizable number of digital encounters about COVID-19. Additionally, unapproved voice apps relating to COVID-19 have been withdrawn by Apple, Amazon, and Google, halting the possible dissemination of false information.

As mentioned above, the University of California San Francisco Health successfully employed a chatbot with a mobile-responsive web interface to screen health system staff, conducting over 270,000 digital screenings in just two months of operation. Digital solutions have cut employee entry-line wait times, improved organizational workflow, and stopped at-risk workers from reporting to work. An important patient contact workflow is automated by OrbitaENGAGE, a voice and chat virtual assistant system, at the so-called "digital front door" of healthcare. Patients can access symptom screening and monitoring tools for COVID-19 or other diseases like anxiety and depression by interacting with a voice or chatbot VA, which can provide them with answers to health-related inquiries, help them locate facilities and specialists, and more.

By giving patients access to any disease management information, voice chatbots may be able to facilitate patients' easy communication of their health status. This method enables the remote monitoring of healthy individuals without COVID-19 and COVID-19-positive patients who are just mildly unwell. A robust architecture that works in tandem with healthcare professionals is produced by the integration of RPA technology with medical data gathered via a conversational interface with the hospital database and alert-based CDSS. Automatic clinical follow-up services lower the danger of exposure and infection during face-to-face interaction and give access to the most recent data about the patient's health status for informed medical decision-making. A decrease in the usage of personal protection equipment may result from more effective patient care, as demonstrated by the web-based chatbots at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital.

By lowering the entry barrier for people without insurance, the application of novel tactics based on VAs supports conventional telemedicine approaches and may aid in cutting healthcare expenditures. By eschewing the conventional approach (such as the one employed by insurance companies), direct-to-consumer digital health can solve unmet healthcare needs by connecting patients directly with services and providers without copays and deductibles. People who lost employer-sponsored insurance due to the COVID-19 epidemic may have an option in the form of voice AI-supported virtual health care based on video consultations. In Washington, Virtual Care by CardioCube is putting the aforementioned fix to the test.

Advantages of VAs

From the viewpoint of the user, voice-enabled technology improvements enable chatbots and users to converse verbally in a way that is similar to human conversation. Voice chatbots have individualized speaking styles and emotions, which makes them more intuitive and natural to use than their text-based mobile or web-based versions. This is a significant benefit over traditional chatbots. The use of a hands-free VA in place of a smartphone screen could break down technological hurdles.

In a smart home setting, it was discovered that senior users prefer conversational interfaces to touchscreens. When creating these technologies, patient privacy must also be taken into account. By creating multimodal solutions, users can select the input modality that best fits their immediate environment. The user could feel uncomfortable conversing with VAs in front of other people. They could follow their protocols in public settings if they had the chance to send and receive data on screens. The Healthy Coping voice bot that is available on Google Home is a prime illustration of how well-liked VAs are today. It is intended especially for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

The voice interface was preferred by the majority of users (80%) over mobile options. Healthy Coping was judged to be user-friendly, practical from a physical standpoint, and to have clear language and communication. Slavik et al. claim that auditory user interfaces offer hopeful alternatives for those who require particular access and management of information. Fisher reviewed the benefits of speech technology and provided five key arguments for why conversational agents might become the next operating system: their versatile, omnipresent, innate, contextual, and efficient qualities (together referred to as "VOICE").

Practically speaking, VAs can automate conventional telehealth services that are currently provided by human workers. At the levels of both individual patients and public health, information can be gathered and shared via conversational bots. Voice chatbots can enhance routine care by automatically monitoring patients at home, triaging cases, screening patients, giving medical advice and recommendations, and streamlining administrative processes. Automatic paperless and hands-free scripting services, such as dictating visit notes, charting, and patient onboarding, can assist hospitals in lowering their risk of infection and the exposure of medical staff.

If used with a specific dashboard for clinicians, chatbot solutions are almost off-the-shelf items that don't require significant information technology and server infrastructure. Other crucial benefits of conversational agents for the delivery of online healthcare are their comparatively low cost and quick uptake.

Voice technology's commercial uptake verifies consumer acceptance and offers a solid justification for the scalability and execution of medical applications. The National Public Radio and Edison Research "Smart Audio Report," which estimates the number of speech devices in US households at 157 million, provides evidence in favor of this claim. Furthermore, Statista predicted that by 2023, there will be 8 billion digital VAs in use globally.

Risks and Challenges

For many years, healthcare systems have been attempting to put telemedicine services into place. This raises the question of why web-based care solutions have not been adopted more widely despite having clear clinical and financial benefits. At many points throughout the delivery chain of healthcare, there are significant impediments that prevent the adoption of novel solutions and practice patterns. Patient-specific challenges include trouble interacting with the technology and a lack of drive to heed computer-generated counsel and instructions. 

Telemedicine is a subpar substitute for establishing personal connections between patients and doctors, thus it may not be something that both doctors and patients want to use. Furthermore, until web-based health platforms have been shown to improve patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness measures, both physicians and payors may be reluctant to invest in them. Initial VA deployment revealed a discrepancy between the standard of COVID-19-related content and public health authorities' requirements, which led to the spread of inaccurate information.

By closely collaborating with technology providers, developers, and healthcare professionals, it is essential to secure the deliverability of trustworthy content, as we can learn from this example. In addition to sharing verified information, VAs processing medical data must adhere to HIPAA regulations to safeguard end-user-reported health information. Importantly, the Office for Civil Rights of the US Department of Health and Human Services exempted penalties for HIPAA violations against medical professionals who use common communication technology to assist patients remotely during the COVID-19 epidemic. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act would not be enforced for low-risk applications created to combat COVID-19, the FDA further declared. 

These laws encouraged the use of speech technologies in healthcare settings. However, it is crucial to develop precise rules and regulations for the use of voice chatbots in the medical field. The HIPAA-Eligible Skills program for Alexa currently permits covered companies to create and release HIPPA-compliant medical apps that employ protected health information; these apps are only accessible within the United States. However, further regulation is necessary before voice technology can be used in healthcare settings. In this situation, the use of medical VAs should be governed by rules in telehealth guidelines and policies (i.e., those of the American Telemedicine Association). This subject is directly related to privacy, security, and hacking concerns. Edu et al. analyzed a wide number of factors, especially those connected to the user's contact with smart home personal assistants, that put smart speakers at risk of the attack surface.

Building partnerships among the various players trying to deploy telemedicine technologies is crucial in this fast-evolving environment. These stakeholders include the retail businesses that offer telemedicine technology, the software businesses that interface with the health care systems, the payors, the patients, and the government health authorities.
