Naples,

2021 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- HealthLynked
Corp. (OTCQB:
HLYK),
a global
healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a
provider of healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients
and medical data, today
announced that it
has
released
CareLynk,
an
innovative AI-enabled healthcare
directory allowing users to call one number and
connect
to any doctor across the U.S.
CareLynk
utilizes
natural language processing (NLP) and voice-to-text technology to
understand what healthcare provider a caller
is
looking
for. The system includes
doctors from over 88
different medical specialties.
Providers can
be
located
by last
name, zip code
and
specialty.
Results are filtered in order of relevance allowing the user to
quickly and
efficiently locate the
provider
they are
searching for,
hands-free. CareLynk
will
first
be
released in Florida connecting patients
to over
33,000
doctors
throughout
the
state. CareLynk, which is
capable of connecting to over 300,000 doctors across all 50
states, is expected to
be expanded
to
include the rest of the United States in the
coming
months.
The
technology was built on Amazon's Lex technology,
which is
used in Amazon
Alexa devices to
recognize voice commands. CareLynk
was built
with a proprietary library
of
relevant medical terms and its ability to recognize
alternative
medical queries
will
improve over time with the
system's machine learning
capabilities. Calls are connected to
a
selected
doctor via
Amazon
Connect. In the event a specific Doctor cannot be
found, patient
members can opt to
speak directly to a HealthLynked customer service
professional who will assist in
locating the Physician they are requesting or finding a new
provider in the
requested location and
medical
specialty.
Dr.
Michael Dent, Chief Executive Officer of HealthLynked
stated, "Patients
are
often frustrated
when they
are looking to book an appointment or find a new physician.
The
phone book
as
the
source to find a doctor has essentially gone away and
patients
are left
to remember multiple numbers and search the
internet which can be frustrating
and out
of date because doctors often move locations every 3 to 5
years.
CareLynk
will
allow patients
to
connect to any doctor through one number.
We are excited about our launch in Florida and expect to release
the service in all other states in the next few months."
