Solution

C-Metric applied its Aivio virtual assistant to a healthcare-services environment using a layered IBM AI stack. IBM watsonx Assistant provides the conversational interface, while IBM watsonx.ai and IBM Granite foundation models generate context-aware responses. IBM Watson Discovery adds retrieval-augmented understanding over the client’s document repositories, and the overall solution integrates through secured APIs with role-based access so data privacy requirements such as HIPAA, GDPR and SOC2 can be respected. Aivio also includes an Excel analyzer for large datasets, turning document and spreadsheet content into action items for business teams. In the implemented workflow, users query the assistant in natural language, supporting content is retrieved from multiple systems, and the platform returns answers, summaries and operational insights. This lets the healthcare provider turn scattered, compliance-heavy information into a coordinated search and decision-support experience.

Data flow

Documents and spreadsheet data from disparate repositories are accessed through secured APIs, retrieved and interpreted by Watson Discovery and watsonx.ai, and then returned to users through Aivio’s assistant interface as answers, summaries and action items.
