Systems and methods for voice assisted healthcare
The following relates generally to voice assisted healthcare. In some embodiments, a digital assistant receives audio data, and determines an intent from the audio data. The digital assistant may then match the determined intent to a flow of a set of flows, where the set of flows may include at least one of: (i) submitting a prescription, (ii) refilling a prescription, (iii) changing a pickup location, (iv) requesting a status update for a prescription, or (v) initiating a pharmacy chat session. The matched flow of the set of flows may then be executed.

executing the matched flow of the set of flows by:
(i) using an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file to access a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), or
(ii) deep linking to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the executing the flow of the set of flows comprises:
using the XML file to access the URI.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the executing the flow of the set of flows comprises:
deep linking to the URL.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, with a digital assistant of a mobile device, the digital data; and
wherein the matching the determined intent to a flow of the set of flows is done by the digital assistant of the mobile device.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, with a digital assistant of a mobile device, the digital data; and
sending the digital data from the digital assistant to an audio analyzer;
wherein the matching the determined intent to a flow of the set of flows is done by the digital assistant of the mobile device; and
wherein the method further comprises sending the determined intent from the audio analyzer to the digital assistant.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
the intent is determined by a digital assistant that receives the digital data; and
the digital assistant sends only the determined intent to an app of a healthcare provider, and does not send the digital data to the app of the healthcare provider.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
the intent is determined by an audio analyzer that receives the digital data; and
the audio analyzer sends only the determined intent to a healthcare provider, and does not send the digital data to the healthcare provider.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of flows includes locating all of: (i) a doctor's office, (ii) an online medical care provider, (iii) a site providing virus testing, (iv) a site administering a vaccine, (v) a provider of mental healthcare, (vi) a vision care provider, (vii) a hearing care provider, and (viii) a physical therapist.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the intent is determined from words or phrases from the digital data.
10. A computer system for voice assisted healthcare, the computer system comprising one or more processors configured to:
determine, via a digital assistant, an intent from digital data;
match the determined intent to a flow of a set of flows, wherein the set of flows includes locating at least one of: (i) a doctor's office, (ii) an online medical care provider, (iii) a site providing virus testing, (iv) a site administering a vaccine, (v) a provider of mental healthcare, (vi) a vision care provider, (vii) a hearing care provider, or (viii) a physical therapist;
execute the matched flow of the set of flows; and
send, via the digital assistant, only the determined intent to an app of a healthcare provider, and not send the digital data to the app of the healthcare provider.
11. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the flow of the set of flows by:
using an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file to access a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
12. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the flow of the set of flows by:
deep linking to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
13. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, with a digital assistant of a mobile device, the digital data;
wherein the matching the determined intent to a flow of the set of flows is done by the digital assistant of the mobile device.
14. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the set of flows includes locating all of: (i) a doctor's office, (ii) an online medical care provider, (iii) a site providing virus testing, (iv) a site administering a vaccine, (v) a provider of mental healthcare, (vi) a vision care provider, (vii) a hearing care provider, and (viii) a physical therapist.
15. The computer system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the intent from words or phrases from the digital data.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
determine, via an audio analyzer, an intent from digital data;
match the determined intent to a flow of a set of flows, wherein the set of flows includes locating at least one of: (i) a doctor's office, (ii) an online medical care provider, (iii) a site providing virus testing, (iv) a site administering a vaccine, (v) a provider of mental healthcare, (vi) a vision care provider, (vii) a hearing care provider, or (viii) a physical therapist;
execute the matched flow of the set of flows; and
send, via the audio analyzer, only the determined intent to a healthcare provider, and not send the digital data to the healthcare provider.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to execute the flow of the set of flows by:
using an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file to access a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to execute the flow of the set of flows by:
deep linking to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to:
receive, with a digital assistant of a mobile device, the digital data;
wherein the matching the determined intent to a flow of the set of flows is done by the digital assistant of the mobile device.
