Cedars-Sinai says that its CS Connect chatbot has been used in 42,000 telehealth visits. The system, which was built by integrating K Health’s technology with Epic, collects symptom information from the patient at the start of their scheduled or on-demand visit, then provides the physician with a summary and recommends treatment for their approval.

K Health offers its own unlimited primary and urgent care virtual visits for $49 per month or $73 for a single visit.
