Medical FAQ Chatbot—Hours, Prep, Billing, and Directions with Citations—not Diagnosis

Teenva AI & Digital Ventures builds medical FAQ chatbots for hospitals, clinics, diagnostic chains, pharmacy networks, and healthtech apps from Bangalore, India. Patients ask “What are visiting hours?”, “How do I prepare for a fasting blood test?”, or “Which documents for cashless insurance?”—the bot answers from your approved patient guides with citations, disclaimers (not a doctor), and handoff to staff or patient scheduling when they need a slot.

Dr. Google and generic ChatGPT give unsafe triage. Teenva implements RAG on your content only, emergency intent detection, and topic allowlists—integrated with WhatsApp and your hospital website.
