About the Company
BrightCare Clinics is a network of multi-specialty healthcare centers based in Toronto, Canada. Established in 2015, the organization provides outpatient care, diagnostics, and telehealth consultations across 12 locations. As patient demand grew, BrightCare struggled to manage appointment requests, FAQs, and customer queries through traditional phone and email support channels.
Client Overview
BrightCare partnered with Destro Technologies to design and implement an intelligent AI chatbot system for patient engagement and support. The clinic aimed to automate appointment scheduling, handle repetitive inquiries, and provide 24/7 assistance — all while maintaining compliance with healthcare privacy standards.
Project Summary
Destro Technologies built a custom AI chatbot powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning, capable of understanding patient queries, booking appointments, sharing test reports, and escalating complex cases to staff in real time. The chatbot was integrated across BrightCare’s website, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger for seamless omnichannel support.
