Hi there,
I'm currently working on a SaaS solution for doctors and medical practices to automate calendar scheduling.
Here's how it works:
What do you think of the solution?
There's already services available promising similar functionality, however, there's only a single doctor I know of who uses such a system.
The fact that doctors aren't using it speaks volumes to me...
From what my research has provided me with, most similar services don't really specialize in the booking process itself, but offer a platform where patients can search for e.g. a neurologist in Munich and get the corresponding information of fitting doctors.
From what I've learned until now, doctors here don't have the problem that they have too few patients. They have so many that they have problems with scheduling all of them.
I already have a minimal viable product and an appointment with a dermatologist the week after next.
He's already stated a high interest in my product.
I am looking forward for your critical thoughts and expectations. Are there services like this in the U.S.? Are they being used extensively? Do YOU use them? Why not?
I'm currently working on a SaaS solution for doctors and medical practices to automate calendar scheduling.
Here's how it works:
- Doctors enter a list of services that they offer into my software. They provide a short description and the time they expect it to take them.
- Doctors offer "Book Appointment Now" button on their website, redirecting to my web application.
- Patient can select of the list of services offered by the doctor or select custom.
- Free times are calculated according to the expected time and the schedule.
- Patient books appointment, gets notified by E-Mail or SMS if appointment will be delayed (pretty usual here in Europe, 1-3 hours delay are pretty normal)
- Tight, automated scheduling
- Relief of the receptionist, normally taking phone calls to schedule appointments
- Easy, user-friendly booking of appointments
- No need to wait hours in the waiting room, get's notified X-Minutes before the doctor's ready
