- The release names Google, Meta, Adobe Advertising and The Trade Desk as recipients of de-identified booking results, to optimise bidding toward patients who "actually book and show".
- 54% of healthcare calls reach a person, per Invoca's July 2026 benchmark; University Hospitals says the agent "recovered 25 appointments on its first night".
- Invoca describes the platform as "BAA-supported" and says it "automatically redacts sensitive information".

Invoca released a healthcare data and AI package on October 20, 2026, according to PPC Land’s October 21 article.
The product
- AI voice and messaging agents answer patient calls, texts and web forms and, per Invoca, book, reschedule and cancel appointments in Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen Office and ModMed.
- De-identified booking results go to ad platforms. The release names Google, Meta, Adobe Advertising and The Trade Desk; the blog post and product page list different destinations.
- The goal is bidding that “optimizes toward the patients who actually book and show”.
Numbers
- 54% of healthcare calls reach a person, per Invoca’s July 2026 benchmark report.
- The “35% more booked appointments” figure is modelled from three five-point lifts, not measured.
- University Hospitals’ Matt Eaves said the agent “recovered 25 appointments on its first night”, with no baseline.
- The product page cites a 300% conversion increase at University Hospitals and a 20% lower cost per acquisition at eHealth, without methodology.
Privacy claims
Invoca describes the platform as “BAA-supported” and says it “automatically redacts sensitive information the moment it’s shared”.
Not stated

Our read
Booking more patients is a clear benefit. The data flow to advertisers is where compliance teams should look.
