Wildix and RoboReception AI Rollout Unlocks £9M in Patient Value, Handles 50,000 Calls with Zero Missed Since May 2025
Delivered with Wildix reseller Focus CX, the rollout shows how agentic voice automation relieves frontline pressure, improves patient experience and provides measurable value.
Missed calls remain one of healthcare’s hidden drains. Over a third of new patient calls go unanswered and most never call back (Dental Lifestyles Magazine; GroupDentistryNow). Those who get through face long waits and low booking rates, leaving practices with lost revenue and patients without timely care.
The Wildix–RoboReception system closes this gap by combining Wildix’s UCaaS platform powered by Wilma AI and RoboReception’s dentist-designed agentic workflows. Unlike traditional systems, it gives practices oversight: determining when AI engages, when staff intervene and how records are updated, with seamless escalation to a live agent.
Founded by practicing dentists, RoboReception was created to solve the daily front-desk problem.
“We were never taught business at dental school, only how to serve patients,” said Dr. Grant McAree, co-founder, RoboReception. “Yet every missed call meant a patient lost and pressure piling on our teams. I’ve lived that moment, drill in hand, while the phone rang unanswered. That’s why we built RoboReception, not a plug-and-play gadget, but a controllable system created by clinicians for clinicians. Together with Wildix, we’ve proven AI can work hand-in-hand with staff, giving practices back control and patients the access they deserve.”
Measured impact since rollout (May 2025, 65 practices):
- 50,000 answered calls with zero misses (vs. ~35% before AI)
- 2,000+ staff hours returned to patient care
- Nearly £700,000 in new patient value captured since launch; £2M projected in year one, £9M lifetime value
- 96% of calls fully resolved by AI, 4% escalated to staff
- 500 new patients booked monthly, booking rates rising from 18% to 70%
- Late cancellations down 75%
- 100% GDPR-compliant, encrypted, with role-based access and audit logs
“The difference here is simple: this isn’t AI running wild, it’s AI designed hand-in-hand with clinicians and live in weeks," said Dimitri Osler, chief innovation officer and co-founder, Wildix. “That’s why practices aren’t just trialing it, they’re scaling it to hundreds of sites. It shows AI can be safe, trusted and still completely game-changing for healthcare.”
The system replaces fragmented front-desk tools with a single platform that connects to patient records, CRM and scheduling to book appointments, update records and transfer calls in real time. Focus CX credited Wildix’s open APIs and engineering support for rollout in weeks, a speed described as “unheard of” in healthcare technology.
Expansion is underway to more than 500 practices worldwide, including in Ireland and Australia.
The rollout reflects Wildix’s focus on AI-enabled UCaaS that serves people first while driving growth. Wildix will showcase live demos of its AI portfolio, spanning healthcare to retail, at upcoming Partner Days. To learn more, visit www.wildix.com/partner-day/.

Rivercell Launches With $25 Million to Build Data Platforms and AI Models That Predict How Human Cells Respond to Treatment7.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release
Rivercell, a Paris-based biotechnology and AI company building its own data infrastructure on how human cells respond to any treatment and training a world model of the cell that can predict those responses, today announced a $25 million seed round led by HV. HCVC, Alven and Bpifrance Digital Venture also participated in the round, which will fund the scale-up of Rivercell’s proprietary data generation platform, the expansion of its wet lab in Paris (a lab working with chemicals and biological samples), and the launch of its AI Virtual Cell program. Being indication-agnostic, Rivercell's world model can drive groundbreaking discovery across any cell behavior that leads to disease because it learns the underlying rules of how human cells respond to drugs and genetic changes, not the features of a single disease. Rivercell was started in summer 2025 by CEO Yann Fleureau, the engineer-turned-entrepreneur behind AI company Cardiologs, joined in 2026 by CSO Eric Durand, an AI scientist and
NTT DATA Opens AI Factory Munich Where Clients Can Validate their AI in a Live Environment7.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release
NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today opened the NTT DATA AI Factory Munich, a real-world environment where clients can test how their AI applications will perform at scale before they invest in broad deployments. Unlike a traditional AI demonstration or innovation lab, the AI Factory Munich operates within a live data center environment (NTT Global Data Centers' Munich 2 Data Center), allowing clients to evaluate AI workloads against the infrastructure, security, data, governance and operational requirements they will face in production. AI deployments typically stall between pilots that prove an idea and enterprise-scale production that delivers value. To bridge this gap, the AI Factory Munich leverages NTT DATA’s capabilities from consulting, infrastructure and AI platforms to managed services, data centers and its global partner ecosystem. Among active partners, NVIDIA provides an accelerated computing platform, including NVIDIA Blackwell
