Aiva Health has partnered with ServiceNow to introduce voice-driven artificial intelligence directly at the patient bedside, enabling clinicians to connect instantly with enterprise healthcare operations. The announcement coincides with the launch of ServiceNow Healthcare Operations, a purpose-built platform designed to streamline administrative workflows and automate operational tasks that often slow down care delivery.
Through this collaboration, frontline healthcare professionals can now create and manage IT or operational service requests using voice commands in real time. As a result, clinicians spend less time dealing with administrative systems and more time focusing on patient care. By eliminating time-consuming processes and reducing workflow interruptions, the partnership aims to give valuable time back to healthcare teams.
In recent years, conversations around artificial intelligence in healthcare have largely focused on ambient documentation and clinical decision support tools. However, a major operational challenge remains overlooked. Nurses and clinicians frequently face hundreds of small interruptions during their shifts, such as malfunctioning equipment, supply shortages, IT issues, or room maintenance problems.
Traditionally, resolving these issues requires staff to step away from patients, locate a workstation, log into separate systems, and manually submit requests. Consequently, these repetitive tasks create a hidden workflow burden that drains productivity and contributes to clinician burnout.
This partnership aims to eliminate that friction by simplifying how requests are handled. With Aiva Nurse Assistant, a nurse can simply say, “Submit a ticket for the vital sign monitor in Room 312.” The system then interprets the request, structures the information, routes it through the appropriate workflow, and tracks progress automatically using both Aiva and ServiceNow platforms. Importantly, this process occurs without requiring portals, logins, or context switching.
Unlike many standalone AI solutions, the collaboration between Aiva Health and ServiceNow introduces a new architecture model for healthcare AI systems. In this framework, voice technology serves as the engagement layer, while ServiceNow acts as the orchestration engine managing enterprise workflows.
Together, the technologies create a closed-loop system that links frontline clinical teams with hospital operations. AI effectively translates voice commands into structured actions that flow across departments, ensuring operational requests are addressed quickly and efficiently.
The partnership delivers measurable advantages across healthcare leadership roles:
For Clinical Leaders and CNOs:
The solution reduces workflow fragmentation and eliminates unnecessary interruptions. As a result, clinicians can remain focused on patient care while operational tasks run in the background.
For CIOs and IT Leaders:
Every voice-generated request automatically creates structured incident reports with accurate categorization and routing. Additionally, ServiceNow’s workflow engine ensures requests remain secure, traceable, and governed.
For Chief AI and Digital Health Leaders:
The partnership demonstrates a scalable AI architecture where voice captures user intent and enterprise platforms convert it into coordinated operational actions.
For COOs and Operations Leaders:
Hospitals gain improved operational visibility through real-time insights into equipment failures, facility issues, and IT incidents. Consequently, organizations can shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive resource management.
"Operational friction is one of the most overlooked drivers of nurse burnout. Nurses shouldn't have to step away from the bedside to report a broken IV pump or submit an IT ticket. With ServiceNow, we're embedding operational action directly into the clinical moment." — Sumeet Bhatia, CEO, Aiva Health
"Healthcare Operations aims to give time back. ServiceNow is committed to building an ecosystem of partners focused on the same objective—make it easier to deliver care." — Mike Vipond, Provider GTM, ServiceNow
Overall, the partnership highlights how voice-driven AI integrated with enterprise workflow platforms can transform hospital operations. By simplifying administrative tasks and reducing interruptions, the solution helps healthcare teams focus on what matters most—delivering better patient care.
