Frequently Asked Questions
Can Alexa book doctor appointments?
No. Alexa can dial your doctor's office, but you must wait on hold and have the conversation yourself. It has no capability to autonomously book appointments or navigate medical office phone systems.
Does Alexa work with any healthcare apps?
Some healthcare systems have Alexa skills for basic information, but actual appointment booking still requires calling the office yourself. Alexa cannot replace the phone call to your doctor's office.
How much time does KallyAI save for medical appointments?
Medical office calls typically involve 10-25 minutes of hold time plus the booking conversation. KallyAI handles all of this, saving you 15-30 minutes per appointment - time you can spend on anything else.
Can KallyAI handle prescription refill calls?
Yes. KallyAI can call your pharmacy or doctor's office to request prescription refills, check on status, and handle routine medication-related calls.
