San Jose, CA & Bangkok, Thailand. May 25, 2023: Bumrungrad Hospital, one of Southeast Asia’s largest hospitals, today announced its collaboration with OptraHEALTH to utilize HealthFAX™, a proprietary AI platform for providing enhanced clinical services to patients.

Bumrungrad Hospital is a multi-specialty hospital that caters to patients’ needs across all medical specialties.

In this age of information technology patients want the next level of digital experience and expect instant health information.

With HealthFAX™ as part of its clinical tools, Bumrungrad Hospital is providing seamless patient & clinician interactions, counseling, and support. This implementation includes consent, personalized risk assessment, pre/post-test education, and automated interactive return of results, all through intuitive online conversations.
