WhatsApp AI Bot Development
WhatsApp Business API bots for Gulf clinics-booking, FAQs, and triage with PDPL-aware consent and Arabic-English flows.
Patients in Bahrain and the wider GCC already coordinate care through WhatsApp. A generic chat widget on your website does not reduce front-desk call volume if staff still copy-paste answers from a Word document. We build Meta-approved WhatsApp Business API flows with structured templates, session handoff to humans, and audit logs that show who triggered which message and when.
Our bots handle appointment requests, lab result notifications, and insurance document reminders without storing unnecessary clinical detail in chat metadata. Integration paths include your HMS scheduler, CRM, and payment links-so a confirmed slot in WhatsApp reflects on the nurse station calendar within seconds, not after a manual export.

How we work
Message audit
We catalogue your top 40 inbound patient questions from reception logs and rank them by volume and risk before writing a single bot script.
Template & consent design
Legal and clinical stakeholders review Arabic copy, marketing vs utility template categories, and PDPL-aligned consent wording.
Integration sprint
Engineers connect scheduling APIs, test sandbox numbers, and validate that bot-created appointments respect provider availability rules.
Pilot & tune
A single branch runs the bot for two weeks; we adjust NLP thresholds and human handoff triggers based on real misroutes.
Technology stack
- WhatsApp Business Platform
- Node.js / Python webhooks
- Redis session store
- PostgreSQL audit logs
- Dialogflow or Rasa (optional NLU)

Frequently asked questions
Consumer WhatsApp Business app numbers must migrate to the Cloud API or On-Premises API. We guide number verification, display name approval, and downtime windows so patients are not left without a channel.
Clinical intents route to scripted disclaimers and immediate human handoff. Diagnostic keywords trigger escalation rules reviewed with your medical director before go-live.
We maintain alternate phrasing banks and resubmit within 24 hours. Utility templates for appointment confirmations typically approve faster than promotional broadcasts.
Webhook payloads are processed in your chosen region, encrypted in transit via TLS 1.2+, and stored only if your retention policy requires audit-not by default in Meta’s servers beyond their window.
Yes, with explicit patient consent and virus-scanned PDF uploads. We map document types to your claims queue rather than open email inboxes.
