Operations automation

Healthcare Appointment Reminders

Sends patients personalised appointment reminders by SMS, WhatsApp or email before their visit, lets them confirm, cancel or reschedule by reply, and updates the clinic schedule.

The business problem

Missed appointments waste clinician time and lengthen waiting lists. Reception staff spend hours making reminder calls. Late cancellations leave slots empty that could have been filled.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. Reception calls patients the day before
  2. Leave voicemails that are not returned
  3. Update the diary by hand when patients cancel
  4. Try to fill gaps at short notice
