Personalized check-in after a procedure
Checking in with patients after they have had a procedure done is a great way of demonstrating your ongoing commitment to their wellbeing. Text messages can be used to send these gentle check-ins to make your patients feel cared for, which improves their trust with your clinic.
SMS Alerts & Notifications

SMS health alerts are a great way to send routine test results to patients as it saves time and eliminates the need for a follow-up appointment. SMS can also be used as part of the two-factor authentication (2FA) process, enabling patients to easily access their results online.
