Built around the phone vs. built around the patient's channel of choice
OhMD and Artera both help healthcare organizations automate common patient needs like scheduling, intake, referrals, triage, billing, follow-up, FAQs, and more — and both customize those workflows for their customers. The difference is how much of the conversation that automation actually covers, and how much choice practices have over it. Artera's AI is built primarily around voice — answering and automating inbound calls — with its broader channel coverage (text, email, web) supported through its platform, AI Service Squads, and marketplace of add-on vendors. OhMD is built to let practices fully customize how every conversation is handled — choosing AI or manual support, in whichever channel the patient prefers, whether that's a call, a text, or chat — natively in one platform.

Organizations whose patient access challenges center mainly on phone volume may find Artera's voice-first AI a fit for that specific problem. But patients don't only reach out by phone — many prefer text, and increasingly expect the option to choose. OhMD is built so that every channel, not just voice, can be handled by AI or a live team member, giving practices full control over where automation is used and where a human touch matters — all without needing additional squads or marketplace vendors to cover the channels Artera's AI doesn't.
