HandsFree Health, provider of WellBe, a secure, HIPAA compliant, voice-enabled virtual health assistant platform, provides a clear alternative for the healthcare industry with its private voice assistant platform designed to conform with the stringent privacy requirements of health plans and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HandsFree Health’s award-winning virtual health assistant WellBe is available to be customized for health plans for pennies a month per member and can be deployed through a mobile app, smart speaker, or smartwatch.
“As former President of US Healthcare and Aetna Health, I know the importance of privacy when dealing with patients’ personal information. Unlike most other virtual assistants, we built a proprietary virtual health assistant to, among other things, keep users health information private,” said Mike Cardillo, CEO of HandsFree Health. “Generally, consumer virtual assistants have been designed for entertainment, in direct contrast to how healthcare is handled, and we put privacy first.”
