FAQ
Healthcare chatbot questions, answered
A healthcare chatbot is an AI assistant on your website that answers patient questions and books appointments through a chat conversation — instantly, 24/7. FrontDesk's chatbot is purpose-built for scheduling: it checks your live calendar, follows your booking rules, and writes appointments back to your system.
Live chat needs a human available to respond. An AI chatbot answers instantly at any hour, handles unlimited conversations at once, and actually books the appointment — no staff required. You get the responsiveness of live chat without the staffing cost.
Conversations are encrypted at rest, every staff view is audit-logged, and transcripts follow your retention policy. The assistant collects only what's needed to book and routes clinical questions to your team. See our dedicated HIPAA chatbot page for details.
It books. The assistant checks real availability by provider and service, holds the slot during the conversation, and writes the appointment back — then sends an SMS confirmation. It's a booking engine, not a glorified contact form.
Yes. It learns from past conversations: FrontDesk mines transcripts into suggested knowledge entries your team approves, so the assistant answers practice-specific questions more accurately the longer it runs.
