From Pilot to Production: Compliant Voice AI for Healthcare and Public Sector

Most voice AI demos fall apart the moment compliance enters the room. For healthcare and public sector teams, a voice agent isn't just a UX problem — it's a regulatory one.

Every call may touch protected health information (PHI), and every architectural decision (where transcripts live, who can access recordings, how consent is captured) has to hold up under HIPAA, state recording-consent laws, and agency-level security mandates.

Voice AI is technology that enables machines to understand spoken language, reason about what was said, and respond in natural-sounding speech in real time — but building that experience for a regulated vertical means treating compliance as a design constraint from day one, not a retrofit.

This session walks developers and practitioners through building a production-grade, HIPAA-eligible voice AI agent using Twilio Voice, Conversation Relay, and the broader Twilio Conversations layer.

We'll cover the regulatory landmines specific to healthcare and public sector deployments, the architectural patterns that keep PHI protected without killing latency or UX, and a live build of a compliant appointment-scheduling voice agent.
