Frequently asked questions

Can the AI give medical advice?

It should not. Configure it to answer only from your approved content and to escalate clinical or emergency messages to staff.

Can I limit who sees patient chats?

Yes. Use roles and number-level restrictions so people only access what they need.

Can we send reports on WhatsApp?

We recommend only notifying that a report is ready and directing patients to a secure channel.

How do patients opt in?

Record consent with evidence, such as the registration form, when the patient agrees to WhatsApp messages.
