Smile CDR hires Amelia, the leading Digital Employee, to deliver intelligent and intuitive experiences to healthcare users.

NEW YORK, NY, May 14, 2021 — Amelia, the largest independent leader in enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI), today announced that Smile CDR, a healthcare technology company, is deploying Amelia. Smile CDR will utilize Amelia’s market-leading Digital Employee to act as a conversational interface for FHIR-connected data stores.

Duncan Weatherston, CEO at Smile CDR said: “Our goal at Smile CDR is to allow for governments, healthcare providers and payers to build connected health applications using the HL7 FHIR standard for health data interoperability. We will be utilizing Amelia to help provide a ‘conversational’ and user-friendly way to interact with the data. Amelia is allowing Smile CDR to take important steps in providing more value for customers from their data.”

Chetan Dube, CEO of Amelia, said: “We are very excited to be working together with Smile CDR as they add a conversational interface to their FHIR-connected data stores. Amelia will only further extend Smile CDR’s capabilities for intuitive data comprehension.”

Smile CDR wanted to differentiate its platform in the market by providing a way to interact with data intuitively, which would in turn provide customers more value from their data and from the Smile CDR platform. This will simplify how users request data. Moreover, automating workflows across a range of back-end systems will improve timely access to data, while also helping Smile CDR’s customers derive more value from the platform.

Additionally, the use of Amelia can open the door to creating conversational power portals and mobile apps that allow patients to view test results and receive remote care or track claims processing, and ask questions about coverage.

By implementing Amelia, Smile CDR will be able to allow for more interactive and intuitive storing and accessing of data which will benefit customers and healthcare providers alike.
