A dozen Health-focused Voice AI ideas

9 ideas in healthcare and 4 ideas in parallel industries you can try to build using open source Voice AI models.

OpenAI’s Whisper is a relatively smaller and approachable multilingual speech-to-text model.

Ideas you can work on now

• Patients are more likely to forget appointments scheduled far in advance, so your your Voice AI app can remind them

• Voice confirmation leads to higher attendance rates

• Appointment slots can be rescheduled based on:

  • Patients who confirm (RSVP)

  • Patients who haven't responded

• Reactive old patients through personalized outreach (think your dentist calling hundreds of his clients for a dental cleaning booking automatically)

• Language assistance to the physician when the patient speaks a foreign language

• Pre-fill your electronic health record while your physician is talking to you over phone (most physicians crave this); saves documentation time

• Critical drug reminders to elderly people at scale

Audacious ideas

• Detect depression (through monotone and flatter speech with more pauses) and cardiac disease through vocal markers

• Detect mental concerns, for example anxious people might talk fast with breathing difficulty and

Parallel ideas

• Think about professor’s office (actually an AI) calling their students for assignment submission due notice

• Your stock broker calling you for investment opportunity based on your portfolio and risk tolerance threshold

• Employee wellness check-in (I need this, because I run remote teams)

• Bias-free screening call when hiring
