HandsFree Health Offers Health Plans A Private Virtual Assistant Alternative

WAYNE, Pa., July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HandsFree Health™, provider of WellBe®, a secure, HIPAA compliant, voice-enabled virtual health assistant platform, provides a clear alternative for the healthcare industry with its private voice assistant platform designed to conform with the stringent privacy requirements of health plans and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HandsFree Health's award-winning virtual health assistant WellBe® is available to be customized for health plans for pennies a month per member and can be deployed through a mobile app, smart speaker, or smartwatch.

"As former President of US Healthcare and Aetna Health, I know the importance of privacy when dealing with patients' personal information. Unlike most other virtual assistants, we built a proprietary virtual health assistant to, among other things, keep users health information private," said Mike Cardillo, CEO of HandsFree Health. "Generally, consumer virtual assistants have been designed for entertainment, in direct contrast to how healthcare is handled, and we put privacy first."

Health plans and Medicare Advantage plans looking to utilize the rapidly growing virtual assistant market to enhance their customer experience now have the option of choosing a platform built around privacy and designed by former health insurance executives. This unique solution offers users all the entertainment and convenient functionality of a typical virtual assistant but with the added benefit of specialty healthcare features designed to keep users compliant, informed, and engaged with their health.

"Our leadership team has an extensive history with our nation's leading health plans and our unique relationships help deliver   content and data that is vital to healthcare, including our health database and insurance benefits connections," said Dan Messina, President of HandsFree Health. "We use patent pending privacy features that keep every family member's health information private, even within their own home. Our platform does not record users or listen in on private conversations."
