What exactly does my clinic buy? A service in four parts: the assistant that answers and messages your patients by call, WhatsApp, text, email and web chat; your team's console; Arbi; and, if you need it, Agenda by Arbol. Does it help if many of my patients are referred by the IESS? Yes. It answers referred patients who call and, with the list your team uploads, calls and messages those who haven't booked yet; every attempt is logged. It does not process referrals or billing claims (planillas) with the IESS. Does it work with my EHR and my schedule? Yes, with the ones you already use, and no data migration. Integrations are included and, depending on the case, some clinics are connected in under a day. Does it give medical advice? No. At any warning sign, it directs the patient to emergency care following your team's protocol and hands off to a person. That limit cannot be switched off. How does it protect my patients' data? Ecuador's data protection law (LOPDP) treats health data as a special category. Arbol announces the recording, keeps the purpose of each contact, gives access by role and lets you export or delete what was recorded. Patients know they are talking to an artificial intelligence. ## Your clinic, answered around the clock. 30 minutes with our team, using your clinic's own cases.
