“Smart Customer Service + Healthcare” is Coming

Article Summary：The healthcare industry's demand is skyrocketing, underscoring the importance of "smart customer service + healthcare" in enhancing the efficiency and convenience of public medical services.

Smart Customer Service + Healthcare is Coming

With the continuous increase in the elderly population and the expanding group of sub-healthy individuals, the demand for the healthcare industry continues to soar. In recent years, as the world transitions into the post-pandemic era, the healthcare sector has become a focal point, facing unprecedented challenges:

• Unequal Resource Allocation: Globally, high-quality medical resources tend to concentrate in large cities and developed areas, resulting in a scarcity of resources in remote regions and grassroots medical institutions.
• Growing Patient Demand: With the exacerbation of population aging and the increase in chronic disease patients, the demand for medical services has significantly surged.
• Information Asymmetry: Patients often struggle to access accurate and timely medical information, especially in health management and disease prevention.
• Cost Control: The high cost of medical care is a widespread issue globally. High operating costs of medical institutions result in patients having to bear doubly high service fees.
• Privacy and Security: Medical information requires extremely high levels of sensitivity and confidentiality.
• Responding to Public Health Emergencies: As demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, when facing large-scale public health crises, medical institutions need to address a massive influx of inquiries and information demands. Their ability to combat risks is weak, making it difficult to provide relevant guidance.

In the post-pandemic era, several questions arise regarding the healthcare industry:

1. When there is a shortage of doctors, how can improve efficiency to serve more patients?
2. With diverse demands for consultations, how can quickly meet different needs?

These circumstances imply the inevitability of "smart customer service + healthcare": enhancing medical service efficiency and optimizing the allocation of medical resources are urgent tasks. Internet medical intelligent customer service platforms, leveraging the wave of mobile internet technology, promote the efficiency and convenience of public medical services.
