Healthcare

Where this process begins.

The appointment is booked, but the clinician has no context before the visit. The care team needs to know the reason for the visit, whether the patient has consulted about it before, current symptoms and their duration, medications, and allergies. Collecting this during the appointment takes time away from care.

For clinics and practices that want to make better use of consultation time with organized information in advance.
