Appointment booking and patient intake — entirely over WhatsApp

An AI booking engine on the official WhatsApp Business API that captures the appointments your phone line quietly loses — after hours, on busy lines, on weekends. It cuts no-shows by up to 40% and hands your front desk back to the patients standing in front of them.

Live interactive demo — opens in a new tab, no signup needed.

The bookings you never see

The bookings you're losing don't show up in any report

Every clinic feels it, few measure it: the patient who called at 7:40pm and gave up. The line that was busy all Monday morning. The no-show who would have rescheduled if it took one tap. Patients have moved to messaging — most front desks are still built around the phone. The WhatsApp AI Booking Engine meets patients on the channel they already use every day, handles the routine 80% automatically, and escalates to your team only when a human is genuinely needed.

Key Capabilities

Everything your front desk does — automated over WhatsApp

Patients already live on WhatsApp. The booking engine meets them there, runs the full workflow, and hands off to your team the moment a conversation needs a human.

01
Intelligent appointment scheduling
Specialty, doctor and time slot chosen in a natural conversation, checked against real-time availability, booked and confirmed without staff involvement.
02
Patient history intake
Structured pre-visit questionnaires collect history, current medications and chief complaint — on the doctor's screen before the patient walks in.
03
Symptom pre-screening
Guided triage flags urgency and routes patients to the right specialist, so consultations start informed and run shorter.
04
Automated reminders & follow-ups
24-hour and 1-hour reminders with one-tap confirm or reschedule, post-visit follow-ups, and prescription pickup alerts — zero staff effort.
05
Natural language understanding
"I need to see a cardiologist next week" just works. Patients type freely — in English and major Indian languages, confirmed for your patient mix during scoping — and the bot extracts intent and responds conversationally.
06
HIS / HMS & EMR integration
An intelligent layer on top of your existing hospital systems and appointment tools. No rip-and-replace, no parallel calendar to maintain.
Patient Experience

Zero friction from first message to confirmation

01
Patient messages
Any natural phrase, any hour: "Book an appointment", "Is Dr. Meera free Saturday?"
02
AI collects details
Specialty, symptoms, preferred time and patient info gathered in a guided conversation.
03
Slot confirmed
Booking made against live availability, confirmation sent, doctor briefed with the intake summary.
04
Reminders handled
Pre-visit reminders with one-tap reschedule, post-visit follow-up — no staff effort, fewer empty slots.

FAQ

Questions hospital teams ask us

Does it integrate with our HIS / HMS / EMR?
Yes — the engine works as a layer on your existing systems via API integration, completed within the deployment window. If your system has no API, we'll assess a workable sync approach during scoping.
What happens when the AI can't handle a request?
It hands the conversation to your front desk inside the same WhatsApp thread, with the full context attached. The patient never repeats themselves and never leaves the channel.
Is patient data stored on WhatsApp?
No. WhatsApp is the conversation channel. Structured data — bookings, intake answers, history — is captured into your systems and India-hosted storage, not into WhatsApp.
Do patients need to install or register anything?
No. Any patient with WhatsApp can book. No app download, no portal account, no password.
How long from decision to live?
A standalone pilot can be live in days; a full HIS-integrated deployment is scoped during discovery based on your integration landscape.
What does it cost?
Pricing scales with facilities and conversation volume. Tell us your setup and we'll send a configuration and quote within two business days.
