Utilize Our Platform

Chatbots are expected to make up a market size of more than $1 billion in 2021.

Based in Riverside, CA, SmartBot360, a UCR spin-off company & part of Riverside ExCITE, lets healthcare companies create, manage and share AI chatbots. Through its AI-chat bot technology specifically for the healthcare vertical, SmartBot360 wants to reduce mundane and manual tasks like answering FAQs, making appointments, collecting feedback, sending reminders, or making sale pitches.

We covered this in our Weekly Wire Roundup

The platform lets companies increase the number of reached customers by offloading routine interactions to the AI-powered chatbots.

Chatbot Templates

The startup states that it analyzed over one hundred thousand patient-to-chatbot conversations helping it to design effective chatbot templates for most healthcare domains. In addition, it provides practice-specific chatbots for Bariatrics, Dermatology, Optometry, and Counseling.

Chatbots and humans work together through easy-to-define triaging handover protocols. As a result, customers can monitor and analyze ongoing sessions, start new chatbot campaigns, and directly chat with the customers.

Man Hours Saved

The platform has easily measured ROI based on man-hours saved for customer service (e.g., FAQ bots) or customer relations management (e.g., engagement, retention). The chatbots are HIPAA-compliant and can be deployed on Facebook Messenger, SMS, Web pages, or other media.
