In 2023, Assort became the first company to schedule a patient appointment using voice AI.
At the time, most healthcare AI focused on documentation, chatbots, or simple automation. We focused on the protocols, scheduling rules, and specialty-specific workflows that determine whether patients actually get access to care.
Today, Assort supports the full patient engagement journey across outreach, intake, referrals, scheduling, payments, and more, powered by AI agents that carry context across every interaction and understand the real-world complexity of healthcare.
We’re excited to share that Assort Health has been named the “Best Overall Patient Engagement Company” in the 2026 @MedTech_Awards.
This recognition reflects what our customers have helped build alongside us:
🔹 150M+ patient interactions
🔹 62K+ specialty care protocols
🔹 AI workflows spanning 22 specialties
🔹 A patient engagement platform that goes far beyond reminders and FAQs
The future of patient engagement isn’t one-way messaging or disconnected point solutions. It's AI that remembers: the last call, the last referral, the last no-show - and acts on it.
Grateful for the recognition. Back to work.
Most healthcare AI is built to respond. Assort is built to act.
Today, we're officially launching Assort Activate: a new standard for proactive patient outreach.
Here's what makes it different:
🌐 True omni-channel engagement: Reach patients across voice, SMS, and email. Not just whichever channel is easiest.
🔄 End-to-end campaigns: Not just a reminder. Not a nudge. Activate runs the full outreach cycle until the appointment is booked, the referral is closed, or the balance is paid.
🧠 Built on Assort's industry-leading AI agents platform: Every Activate campaign inherits our specialty-trained models, Patient Journey Memory, and the precision to handle complex care scenarios out of the box so that actions are handled end-to-end during a single interaction.
For the first time, AI doesn't just answer the phone. It stays with the patient.

Assort's AI agents are actively managing patient access for leading dermatology practices across the country, including MDCS: Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, Legacy Dermatology & Restoration Center, Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, South Jersey Skin Care & Laser, and Art of Dermatology, PLLC, growing appointment volume and reducing administrative costs at scale.
Dermatology is one of the most operationally demanding specialties in healthcare. A single practice may treat everything from acne and chronic autoimmune skin disease to surgical skin cancer removal and cosmetic procedures, with each appointment requiring different intake questions, urgency levels, visit lengths, and provider qualifications.
Since onboarding with Assort, one of our dermatology partners has seen…
✅ 29% increase in total appointment volume over two years
✅ 20% reduction in manual coordination for call and appointment management
✅ Doubled labor capacity
