Clinics, dentists, opticians and medical shops

Fewer no-shows, without making a single call

The agent calls patients the day before, confirms the appointment, moves it if the time no longer suits them, or cancels it. You get an up-to-date calendar, and your front desk stays free for the people standing in front of them.

    Good afternoon, is this Mrs Rees? I am calling from St Peter Dental Clinic about your appointment tomorrow at 4:30pm with Dr Soler.

Where it hurts

Every empty hour in the calendar is a professional you pay but cannot bill for.

  • Patients do not turn up, and the gap is discovered far too late to fill.
  • Reminder texts and emails get ignored: nobody replies and nobody reschedules.
  • The front desk spends the morning on the phone instead of serving the queue in front of them.
  • Waiting lists never move, because slots only free up on the day.
How Duodat solves it

A real call, with someone on the other end who can say the time does not work.

A call, not just a text

A phone call gets an immediate answer and lets the change be settled there and then, instead of waiting for someone to reply to a message.

Reschedules during the same call

If the patient cannot come, the agent offers the real free slots in your calendar and moves the appointment. The gap is freed up days in advance.

Fills the slots that free up

Working from your waiting list, the agent can call people to offer an appointment that has just become available.

Preparation reminders

If the visit requires fasting, bringing reports or arriving early, the agent reminds them and confirms they understood.

You know where every appointment stands

Confirmed, moved, cancelled or no answer — with the time of the call and a summary of the conversation.

What is included

  • Connection to your calendar, or a daily appointment upload
  • Confirmation calls as far ahead as you decide
  • Rescheduling and cancellation during the call
  • SMS or email confirmation to the patient
  • Retries at different times of day if there is no answer
  • A daily report on the status of every appointment

What it does not do

  • It does not give test results or clinical information over the phone.
  • It does not triage or assess how urgent a symptom is.
  • It does not upsell treatments or run promotions unless you specifically ask.
Frequently asked questions

Questions about this use case

Which calendar software do you connect to?
Directly with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. With clinic management software we work through their API where one exists, or a daily file exchange where it does not. We review this in our first conversation.
Does this comply with health data protection rules?
The agent only handles the minimum data needed to manage the appointment: name, phone number, date, time and practitioner. It does not process diagnoses or medical records. We sign the data processing agreement and the data is processed in the EU.
How many times does it call if nobody answers?
As many as you decide, at different times of day to improve the odds. If there is still no answer, the appointment is flagged as unconfirmed in the report.
Can it call on behalf of several practitioners?
Yes. The agent states the practitioner and the service for each appointment, and can manage several calendars within the same practice.
