PATIENT COMMUNICATION
Reach every patient, complete every task
Move care forward with communication that does more than reach out. Luma’s agents, RCS messaging, and broadcasts help patients schedule, prep, pay, and ask questions – all without leaving the text thread.
“We have thousands of visits in a day, and each one needs a phone call. With Luma, we immediately saw a decreased burden on our staff and fuller schedules.”
Joleen Carper, COO of Tristate Health

MORE THAN ENGAGEMENT
AI-powered communication that understands the full patient
Luma’s patient communication uses AI on top of Luma’s full platform and industry-leading EHR integration. It builds on your workflows and patient context to guide patients in any channel and 35+ languages.
Rich Communication Services (RCS) and SMS
-
Your preferred phone number sends outreach in 35+ languages, including branding and images.
-
EHR changes, patient actions, or staff can trigger a message.
-
Patients can respond back with natural language or emojis.
Broadcast
-
Patient groups or populations receive personalized messages in their preferred languages.
-
Responses update the EHR for the right patient
-
Example: let Dr. Lee’s patients know she’s out today; each patient reschedules independently with EHR writeback.
Agentic conversations
-
Inbound (voice, text, chat) or outbound conversations (voice, text)
-
Patients can switch between channels without losing the conversation
-
Handoff to staff when needed, with full conversation context and live AI language translation
Multilingual
Sun River Health’s heavily Spanish-speaking population didn’t have call center agents who spoke their language after hours. Navigator provides Spanish-language support when bilingual staff aren’t available.
Care gap outreach
Virtua’s patients had the option to enroll in home Cologuard® testing for lower-risk colonoscopies. Virtua used Luma integrated with Epic to automatically encourage opt-in. In five months, over 3,500 patients opted to complete a home test, catching nearly 300 positive results sooner.
No-show & cancellation recovery
Without the staff bandwidth for more outbound calls, CLS Health relied on patients to reschedule after a cancellation. But doing so risked patients falling off the schedule. With outbound agentic outreach, CLS sees 2.3x more patients rescheduling appointments.
Inbound patient chat
Banner Health’s imaging patients sent questions like “where should I park?” to staff via chat. But they could wait hours for an answer. Luma’s AI handles straightforward questions and triages more complex ones, getting patients an answer 6 hours sooner.

How it works
Every message runs on Luma's full platform and your EHR integration. That connection decides when a message goes out, what channel it uses, and what happens after a patient replies. Patients can schedule, confirm, complete intake, pay, ask a question, or get an answer about a lab result, all in their preferred channel and language.
Two-way SMS/RCS
Messages come from your preferred phone number, in 35+ languages With RCS, they contain your branding and images. Patients reply with plain language or emojis.
Outreach from any trigger
Messages can start from almost anywhere: a chart update, a provider's day off, a patient action, or a staff member. Broadcasts reach a whole group with messages customized to each patient.
Agentic outreach
Agents handle inbound and outbound conversations by voice, text, or chat. Patients can switch channels without starting over. Agents take manual calls off of your staff, including scheduling for cancellations, referrals, and care gaps.
Staff support
When a patient needs a person, the agent hands off with the full conversation and live AI language translation. Smart on FHIR puts each patient's communication history in the chart, so providers see it without leaving the EHR.
Security and trust
Patients’ healthcare is personal, and we take seriously the responsibility to protect that data. We’re committed to the gold standard in healthcare information security, including the latest AI certifications. Patient information is never shared or sold.
