AI with Heart: Calabrio’s CareAI Enhances Patient Care

Calabrio, a leader in workforce and conversation intelligence, has announced the expansion of its CareAI healthcare initiative, which leverages generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to tackle two of the industry’s most pressing issues long wait times and staffing shortages. By addressing these challenges, CareAI is significantly improving the healthcare experience for both patients and providers.

The CareAI project, led by Calabrio Canada, started after Calabrio acquired Wysdom, the original partner behind the initiative. In its first year, the program made a measurable impact by tackling the 53% of patient inquiries linked to extended wait times caused by staffing shortages. By providing automated recommendations, CareAI reduced operational costs and optimized resources. Furthermore, it analyzed patient-provider call transcripts to gain valuable insights into empathy, professionalism, and resolution quality ultimately enhancing communication and operational efficiency.
