Hyro vs SpinSci Technologies (2026)
Two agent platforms for health system patient access, built from different starting points. Hyro was built for healthcare conversation from the start. It pairs a knowledge graph built from each customer's data with smaller task specific models and large language models, across the call center, website, text and mobile apps, and now reaches into IT help desk work and outbound coverage campaigns. SpinSci came from contact center integration, built since 2005, and now runs agents that complete scheduling, refills, billing, benefits, prior authorization and referrals on top of bidirectional connections to Epic and Oracle Health. Hyro leads on the conversation layer across channels. SpinSci leads on the contact center plumbing behind the call.
- One conversational layer across the call center, website, text and mobile apps, answering from sources the health system approves.
- Work beyond patient access, from MyChart resets to IT help desk tickets through a ServiceNow partnership.
- Named health system customers, including Tampa General Hospital, Intermountain Health and Prisma Health, and a reported 2,500 hospitals, clinics and facilities.
- Contact center integration as the core asset: bidirectional with Epic and Oracle Health, telephony, agent desktop and transfer center.
- A platform that can host partners' or the customer's own agents, not only SpinSci's.
- HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and PCI listed for its AI platform.

Questions buyers ask
How do Hyro and SpinSci Technologies work with the EHR?
Hyro is listed on Epic's Showroom, where the listing describes appointment scheduling and management, prescription refills, MyChart password resets and provider and location searches, and the home page describes using Epic's APIs for patient record identification, scheduling management and prescription support: reading the record and writing to it.
SpinSci states bidirectional integration with Epic and Oracle Health, reading live patient data and writing updates back, and runs natively with Cisco, Zoom, NICE and Avaya contact center platforms. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 25, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How are Hyro and SpinSci Technologies priced and sold?
In Hyro's case, a public return on investment calculator estimates time and cost savings, and the home page claims a 5.5 times return within six months, but neither shows what the product costs.
The product is sold by demo, and the Cisco Webex App Hub listing shows a second route: SpinSci licenses ordered through Cisco's commerce system alongside paid Webex Contact Center licenses, with pricing on Cisco's commerce site. The company does not say which unit it charges by, whether per agent seat, per interaction, per completed task or platform subscription. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 25, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How do Hyro and SpinSci Technologies handle patient data?
With Hyro, the privacy policy adds that anonymized or de-identified information may be used and shared without restriction, for example to improve the services, and that an internal retention policy prevents perpetual retention, with no periods given. By design the customer defines and restricts the knowledge sources an agent may use, and each foundation model step receives only the context it needs.
In SpinSci Technologies' case, the AI Fabric page says "PHI stays inside your perimeter", while the same page says the fabric is trained on 400 million real-life patient interactions a year and that the agents learn from millions of patient interactions across health systems. The terms add that users keep ownership of their health data but grant a license to use it to provide and improve the services. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 25, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
Which settings and specialties do Hyro and SpinSci Technologies cover?
For Hyro, coverage is organized by organization and channel rather than specialty: health systems, federally qualified health centers (sold on multilingual access), children's hospitals and payers (member and agent experience), across calls, websites, text and mobile apps, with an outbound line for ACA and Medicaid coverage renewal outreach.
With SpinSci Technologies, the voice agents cover scheduling, pharmacy and refills, billing and payments, benefits verification, prior authorization and referrals, with outbound campaigns for reminders and no-shows; alongside them sit the agent desktop, transfer center, operator console and hospital clinical communications. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 25, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.

Both records were reviewed on this site in September 2026. SpinSci's agents answer common clinical questions from approved content with no clinician involved, while its terms describe the product as informational. Hyro hands complex calls to staff and publishes no rule for when.
SpinSci publishes no price. Ask both what the agent does when a caller describes symptoms, and what share of calls it transfers.
