Hospitals · Outpatient follow-up

Follow-up when patients need it, not by the calendar

One patient portal for patient-initiated follow-up, pre-assessment, forms, letters and appointments. Patients get in touch when something changes, so clinics make room for those who need them most.

Follow-up on requestPre-assessmentAppointmentsWaiting lists

What changes

Free up clinics without losing sight of anyone

Clinic time where needed

Patients ask for follow-up when they need it, so clinicians can focus on pressing cases.

Less booking admin

Patients book and reschedule online, which cuts time spent on scheduling.

Joined-up care

Support plans and reminders after treatment keep people on track between visits.

How it works

Follow-up that starts with the patient

Instead of a visit every six months, patients check in from home each month and ask to be seen when something changes.

  1. 1Check in from homePatients log symptoms and share readings between appointments.
  2. 2Ask to be seenIf something changes, they request a follow-up through the app or web.
  3. 3Triage the requestYour team reviews their data and decides what they need next.
  4. 4Book the right slotPatients book or reschedule in the portal, and you see attendance in real time.

How it works

Follow-up that starts with the patient

Booked by the calendar

Every patient comes back every six months, whether they need to or not.

Routine visits fall away

No appointment just because it is time.

A check-in from home

Each month Aisha answers one question on her phone. Doing well means no visit.

Asking to be seen

Then one month something changes. She asks to be seen, her team reviews her answers and books a visit.

Clinic time freed

Appointments go to the people who asked to be seen. The rest is free for others.
