AI assistants can provide critical information to pharmacy patients in a human-like experience

Brand Engagement Network (BEN), an emerging provider of personalized customer engagement AI, and MedAdvisor Solutions (ASX: MDR), a global leader of pharmacy-driven patient engagement solutions, today announced a pilot partnership that will bring BEN’s AI assistants to certain pharmacies to help enhance patient outcomes.

This partnership hopes to address today’s challenge where traditional chatbots have limited conversational skills, base knowledge of pharmaceutical products, and capacity. We believe BEN’s AI assistants, paired with MedAdvisor Solution’s deep insight into pharmacy-driven patient engagement, will offer a personalized, conversational experience for patients. The partnership will also serve as an opportunity to demonstrate that conversational AI can provide an enhanced patient experience, provide them with accurate and personalized education about their medication, ultimately resulting in better patient outcomes. BEN’s AI Assistant technology will be a part of MedAdvisor Solutions Medication Advisor product, allowing its vast pharmacy network to have access to configurable, easy to deploy and effective AI technology.

“By partnering with MedAdvisor Solutions, we are opening the door to a wealth of opportunity across the healthcare space,” said BEN Chief Executive Officer, Michael Zacharski. “Customers trust BEN to deploy a highly advanced, mature AI assistant as a next-generation conversational tool that can replace chatbots for organizations of all sizes. The AI assistant exists to provide an educational environment and an unrushed personal conversation about medication regiments to improve the experience of the customer, retail pharmacy chain, and the pharmaceutical manufacturer. We’re beyond thrilled to be applying our technology to assist patients and elevate their healthcare experience.”

“As MedAdvisor Solutions seeks to enable the pharmacy of the future, we are seeking partnerships that accelerate our path to making that vision a reality. BEN’s technology is built on many years of research and AI best practices and is complementary to our patient engagement solutions. We believe their technology will help our pharmacy partners to enhance the experience for their patients,” said MedAdvisor Solutions Chief Executive Officer, Rick Ratliff.
