Under the partnership, IntelliTek will work with Samsung Mobile Solutions to bring its AI solution, dubbed IntelliTek Health’s Personal Virtual Assistant, to improve communication with patients after discharge, according to a Jan. 24 release from IntelliTek. 

The tablet-based solution uses voice assistance to communicate post-discharge instructions and other information to patients after they are discharged from the hospital.  

“Every year, approximately 36 million discharges occur across the U.S. healthcare system, with the majority of patients left alone to handle their care journey post-discharge,” Martyn Molnar, global healthcare lead and products CEO at SmarTek21, IntelliTek’s parent company, said in the press release. “Our collaboration with Samsung will help us address the significant health inequity in this space with Samsung Mobile Solutions and connectivity that offer simple, personalized medical communication and instruction between patients and their care teams in the critical window after leaving the hospital.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
