Bumrungrad Hospital to provide enhanced clinical services with OptraHEALTHs HealthFAX™

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. As screening takes center stage in medicine, there is a clear need for technology-based tools to expedite various clinical processes in pre-test and post-test scenarios and especially empowering patients to understand their reports. 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. Patients may also ask questions to HealthFAX™ throughout the process and using AI-powered natural language processing HealthFAX™ responds with the info & resources they need.

Dr. Palita Lungchukiet, MD, CEO of the Bumrungrad Genomic Medicine Institute, remarked that, "We believed in the 4P-approach: predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory… in medical care. Genomic medicine helps with individual risk-assessment, which guides personalized preventive care as well as precise diagnoses and treatments.
