Voice Is Becoming a Care Channel
The voice signals converged this year: a major EHR vendor rebuilt its clinical experience voice-first, funded voice agents are answering healthcare's phones, and the patients most underserved by app-first design, seniors above all, are exactly the ones the phone already serves. Voice is graduating from IVR replacement to genuine care channel, and telehealth programs that treat the phone as a first-class surface are reaching patients the app-only competitors cannot. Here is the channel playbook.
Agentic Patient Support in Production: What Actually Works
The agentic conversation moved from keynote to production this year: triage systems with risk detection shipping commercially, EHR vendors racing to orchestrate agents, and operators quietly running AI through real patient workflows. Enough deployments now exist to say what works, what needs a human in the loop, and what separates agents that patients thank from agents that patients screenshot. Here is the production report.
When Your Next Patient Arrives via ChatGPT
The consumer AI health push of the past month, records-connected assistants, clinician-grade chat products, health tabs on the biggest AI platforms, changes who shows up at your intake and what they already know.

AI Agents for Telehealth Support: Where They Beat Chatbots, and What Changes Operationally
AI agents are different from the chatbots most telehealth teams already use. They read context across EHR, CRM, billing, and pharmacy, draft messages, and complete actions inside the platform. That changes support headcount, provider workload, and risk. Here is how DTC telehealth teams should evaluate agents in 2026.
How AI Should Fit Into Telehealth Support Without Making the Experience Feel Robotic
