Abstract

Many telemedicine tasks (such as responding to 811) involve healthcare professionals. This project proposes to set up several standalone telephone assistance solutions to free up these experts who are currently in high demand, whether to answer citizens' routine questions, do follow-ups, make appointments or help navigate through healthcare facilities.
