As a digital-first organization, GYANT has been a partner in helping us to further shape our digital health experience. Eleanor is not simply part of our digital health strategy but she is a central part of our organization. Almost half of Eleanor’s patient interactions are outside of normal clinic hours. Eleanor is there to help patients find and use the resources they need on their schedules.

EEH and GYANT partnered to implement a customized version of GYANT’s Front Door solution as the virtual assistant, Eleanor, on the EEH website and patient portal app. The software functions as an AI virtual care navigation assistant that guides patients to the best resources for their inquiries.
Eleanor’s goal: “to make healthcare easier”. Eleanor acts as a patient’s assistant for EEH’s entire health system allowing patients to navigate various self-service care endpoints, find appropriate care venues for their symptoms including finding a doctor, making same-day appointments, scheduling video visits, and even saving their spot in line at an urgent care facility. Eleanor is available 24 hours a day to help patients, on-demand, both during and outside of business hours.
