Diabetes, especially type 2, affects many people in the United States. It often brings complications that need ongoing medical attention. Usually, patients see specialists like endocrinologists only occasionally. This can cause gaps in care and lead to problems like missed medications and delayed treatments.
Continuous patient engagement offers support every day. Patients get reminders, education, and personalized coaching instead of waiting for the next doctor visit. This keeps patients involved in their care. For healthcare providers, this means better health results and fewer emergency visits or hospital stays.
Studies using AI platforms like Precina’s Agentforce and chatbots like Mitraa show good results from continuous engagement. These AI tools offer personalized care for many patients, helping clinics save time and resources.
Precina tested their AI platform, Agentforce, with 50 patients in rural Louisiana. In 12 weeks, patients lowered their A1C levels from 9.6% to 6.4%. This 3.2% drop is much better than the usual 1% drop per year seen with traditional care. This shows AI can help catch problems early and improve health fast.
Agentforce collects data from electronic medical records, lab results, and other sources. This helps automate routines like prescription refill reminders and insurance approvals. It also reduces paperwork and saves staff time, especially in rural areas where healthcare can be hard to access.
Agentforce also helps train clinical and support staff. The AI offers role-playing and coaching to improve skills. This can make staff 20 times more productive and cut training costs by $13,000 to $25,000 per provider each year. AI helps both patients and healthcare workers.
Mitraa is an AI chatbot used for chronic diseases like diabetes. In a three-month test with 100 patients, medication adherence increased by 35%, and patient engagement rose by 40%. This means more patients took their medicines properly and stayed involved in their care.
Also, 85% of patients using Mitraa felt more satisfied with their healthcare. The chatbot was easy to use and gave personalized advice. Mitraa cut unnecessary clinic visits by 25%, helping doctors focus on more serious cases.
Mitraa uses natural language processing and machine learning to talk with patients in a way that fits their needs. This keeps patients motivated, which simple reminder tools do not always do.
Working together in teams is important for managing chronic diseases. Patients who help plan their care are 20% more likely to follow treatment rules. Teams that include primary care doctors, specialists, nurses, mental health experts, and caregivers can reduce hospital readmissions by 30% and better control chronic illnesses by 40%.
AI tools support team care by sharing real-time data and feedback. They connect with electronic health records and telemedicine systems. AI analyzes patient information to spot risks, predict problems, and suggest treatments faster than manual methods—often 30% quicker.
Using AI this way leads to 38% fewer hospital visits because of remote monitoring. It also increases patient trust by 25%, helping people stick to their often complex treatment plans better.
Medical offices face challenges managing large amounts of data and busy staff. AI-driven workflow automation helps by handling many routine but important tasks in diabetes and endocrine care.
Automation can save about $80,000 yearly for every 5,000 patients by lowering administrative costs. This lets clinical staff spend more time on complex cases where their judgment is needed.
The AI system also keeps patient care safe by following rules like HIPAA. It alerts providers if something goes outside clinical guidelines.
AI helps create care plans that fit each patient’s situation, including their preferences and outside factors like housing or income. Considering these social factors helps improve disease management.
AI supports personalized care by:
Studies show personalized plans can improve medication adherence by 50% and increase patient satisfaction by 35%. Using AI insights helps healthcare teams give care that matches each person’s needs and limits.
Using AI tools in medical offices needs careful planning. Healthcare administrators and IT managers must make sure AI works well with existing systems.
Some challenges include:
Even with challenges, AI offers benefits in managing chronic diseases and saving resources. This is especially important in care models focused on value and lowering costs.
For healthcare leaders in the U.S., AI-driven continuous patient engagement provides several benefits:
Investing in AI tools that work with electronic health records and telehealth helps medical offices meet changing healthcare demands and provide good chronic disease care.
Using AI-powered continuous patient engagement tools helps healthcare providers give better, more connected care. These technologies offer ways to improve diabetes and chronic endocrine disease treatment while helping administrators and IT managers make operations smoother and support value-based care.
Agentforce integrates AI, automation, and real-time data to enable continuous patient engagement, streamline access to lab results, and automate prescription refills, improving diabetes care outcomes by facilitating timely interventions and maintaining seamless communication between patients and providers.
Precina integrates fragmented patient data from EMRs, lab reports, and imaging platforms into a unified system via Agentforce and Salesforce Health Cloud, allowing instant access to updated lab results and medical history, enabling personalized, timely clinical decisions for endocrinology patients.
Agentforce automates reminders and outreach for prescription refills by alerting paraprofessionals who then contact patients via calls or texts, ensuring medication adherence and reducing delays in medication management for endocrinology patients, especially those with diabetes.
Agentforce replaces infrequent clinical visits with daily AI-driven interactions, supporting patients continuously on lifestyle changes and medication adherence, thus fostering sustained engagement and faster, more effective management of chronic conditions like diabetes.
Agentforce automates payer contracting and approval processes, speeding up patient qualification and onboarding by reducing manual documentation and outreach efforts, which accelerates expansion of endocrinology services in underserved and rural communities.
Agentforce provides automated onboarding, coaching, and role-playing simulations to train paraprofessionals efficiently, improving clinical adherence and reducing training costs while maintaining HIPAA compliance and enhancing the productivity of care teams.
Agentforce operates on Salesforce Health Cloud with robust cybersecurity and HIPAA-compliance frameworks, ensuring secure data integration and access permissions to protect sensitive patient information across lab data, EMRs, and prescriptions in endocrinology care.
Data Cloud provides a zero-copy, real-time unified patient data view from various sources, enabling Agentforce to automate workflows, mine actionable insights, and personalize care like lab monitoring and medication adjustments efficiently and securely.
Automation reduces manual tasks such as data retrieval, insurance approvals, and patient outreach, saving Precina approximately $80,000 annually per 5,000 patients by decreasing administrative burdens and enabling providers to focus on complex clinical care.
Agentforce enforces pre-set clinical guidelines for paraprofessionals and AI agents, with alerts for deviations to providers, ensuring clinical accuracy, patient satisfaction, and HIPAA compliance during lab result discussions and medication management communications.
