Order Refill & Patient Support (Non-diagnostic, Non-prescriptive)

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND

A pharma / healthcare distribution business (non-diagnostic, non-prescriptive workflows) was struggling with coordinating repeat orders and basic patient/retailer communication.

  • Pharmacies and distributors placed repeat orders via calls and WhatsApp, often leading to missed messages or delays.

  • Patients frequently called to check order status, delivery times, or simple non-clinical information like “When will my refill reach?” (without asking for medical advice).

  • Call centers were overloaded with logistics and coordination queries, rather than true medical support.

  • Manual processes made it difficult to track every interaction and ensure consistent service levels.

SOLUTION

SOLUTION

Aguken AI implemented voice AI agents for refill coordination and non-clinical support while keeping clear boundaries (no diagnosis, no prescribing, no clinical decision-making).

  • For pharmacies/distributors:

    • AI voice agents made scheduled outbound calls to capture refill orders, confirm quantities, and verify delivery windows.

    • Orders were recorded in structured format and pushed directly into the order management system.

  • For patients (within allowed, non-medical scopes):

    • Agents provided order status, delivery timelines, and refill reminders for ongoing subscriptions where workflows were clearly defined.

    • All conversations were restricted to logistics, status, and process information, not medical advice.

  • The system ensured proper escalation to human staff for any query that went beyond the predefined non-clinical scope.

IMPACT

IMPACT

With Aguken AI, the pharma / distribution business:

  • Streamlined repeat order capture from retailers, reducing manual calling and follow-ups.

  • Improved on-time refills and deliveries through better coordination and reminders.

  • Reduced the burden on human teams who could now focus on exception cases, partner relationships, and compliance-heavy tasks.

  • Maintained a clear and safe separation between logistical voice automation and any clinical workflows.

The outcome is a safer, compliant, and operationally efficient voice layer that supports pharma logistics and distribution while respecting regulatory boundaries.
