Abstract: 
This research investigates the implementation and impact of Virtual Intelligence Therapeutic Assistants (VITA), a conversational AI-based health assistant designed to enhance patient engagement and integrate with clinical workflows. Through a mixed-methods study involving 487 patients and 42 healthcare providers across three medical centers, we evaluated VITA's effectiveness in improving patient communication, treatment adherence, and clinical efficiency. Results demonstrated a 37% increase in medication adherence, 42% improvement in appointment attendance, and 28% reduction in administrative workload for clinical staff. Healthcare providers reported high satisfaction (4.2/5) with VITA's integration into clinical workflows, while patients indicated increased engagement (76%) and satisfaction (81%) with their care. This study provides evidence supporting the implementation of conversational AI assistants in healthcare settings to address communication barriers, enhance patient engagement, and optimize clinical workflows.
