Digital Triage and Appointment Planning

An AI agent manages the appointment flow: patients can request an appointment 24/7 via the website, a patient app, or WhatsApp. When making the request the patient goes through a brief digital triage: what are the symptoms, how long have they been present, how severe are they? Based on the triage answers the system categorizes urgency and schedules the appointment in the right time slot. The patient immediately receives a confirmation with the time and name of the treating physician.

  • 24/7 appointment request: via website, app, or WhatsApp
  • Digital triage: complaint assessment with urgency categorization
  • Automatic scheduling: in right time slot based on urgency
  • Confirmation: immediately with physician and time

Patient Communication and Preventive Follow-Up

Preventive care is more effective than curative care. An AI agent supports preventive follow-up: patients with chronic conditions automatically receive a reminder for their periodic check-up appointment. Patients who received a referral after a consultation automatically receive a follow-up message after 4 weeks to check whether the specialist has made contact.

  • Periodic check-up reminder: automatically for chronic patients
  • Referral follow-up: check after 4 weeks
  • No-show follow-up: automatically for missed appointment
  • Satisfaction check: automatically after telephone consultation

Accessibility and Wait Time Management

Accessibility is the biggest patient complaint about their GP. An AI agent improves accessibility: the system automatically answers frequently asked questions. Patients who call outside opening hours automatically receive a message with emergency care options and a link to schedule an appointment for the next opening day.

Your Company OS implements AI agents for general practices, health centers, out-of-hours GP services, primary care centers, and elderly medicine practices that want to automate their triage communication, repeat prescription processing, and patient follow-up.
