Introducing Amazon Connect Health, Agentic AI Built for Healthcare
Amazon Connect Health is now generally available, bringing purpose-built agentic AI to healthcare organizations to streamline patient engagement and point-of-care workflows. Amazon Connect Health delivers five AI agents designed to reduce administrative burden across the care continuum — enabling patients faster access to care and freeing clinicians from paperwork and administrative burden to focus on what matters most: their patients. These agents are ready to deploy within existing patient, clinician, and healthcare workflows — such as patient access centers (i.e., contact centers), Electronic Health Records (EHR) applications, and telehealth solutions — in days, not months. All the features follow responsible AI best practices, implement safety guardrails, are HIPAA-eligible, and deliver the same security and reliability standards as any AWS service.
Agents available at launch:
-
Patient verification (GA) – Confirms patient identity in real time against EHR records with appointment lookup, reducing inbound call-handling time.
-
Appointment management (Preview) – Books appointments via natural language voice interaction, 24/7, with real-time insurance eligibility checks, enabling after-hours scheduling, and relieving burden on human staff.
-
Patient insights (Preview) – Surfaces relevant patient history and clinical context before the visit, so clinicians walk in prepared. Reduces the time clinicians spend piecing together information before a patient’s visit.
-
Ambient documentation (GA) – Captures patient-clinician conversations during the visit and generates clinical notes in real time.
-
Medical coding (Preview) – Automatically generates ICD-10 and CPT codes from clinical notes post-visit, with full audit trails.
Amazon Connect Health patient engagement capabilities are natively integrated with Amazon Connect, a complete AI-powered contact center solution delivering personalized customer experiences at scale. Clinical and administrative staff can configure and customize these AI capabilities in minutes using the Amazon Connect Health application, enabling rapid testing and seamless deployment into contact center workflows. The point-of-care capabilities — ambient listening, patient insight, and medical coding — are available via Amazon Connect Health unified SDK (SDK documentation), enabling developers to integrate the features directly into existing EHR and clinician-facing applications.
Amazon Connect Health is available in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon). To get started, visit the Amazon Connect Health product page. For technical details, see the Amazon Connect Health documentation
